About
Whoever you are or wherever you come from on the planet, we all originate from shamanic cultures, so it is everyone's original history and our birthright to practice Shamanism and do what our ancestors have been doing since we incarnated here on this beautiful planet hundreds of thousands of years ago. These tribal gatherings are a celebration of spirit, of life, of beingness, of the Earth, of beauty, of love. Come along and experience the sounds of the underground, with South American and African drummers and shamanic/spiritual singers.
This is a chance to welcome back our brothers and sisters from the family of Light; our tribe of many colours. As we step into the times where the ancient prophecies of the rainbow warriors who will take humanity and the Earth to a new consciousness is being fulfilled by You. You are the ones you’ve been waiting for, as we come together and raise the vibration for ourselves and all others. Aho!
The Tribal Trance Dance involves a dance where all wear blindfolds to fully let go into the dance without any self consciousness, allowing you to release your self into the dance and bring forth your spirit.
The Sacred Icaros and tribal songs will be sung to call the spiritual doctors to heal us and change our molecular and dna structure with the scared vibration of the sound.
At some events will be a sacred Water Ceremony, performed by Water Goddesses to bless our mother waters, and channel powerful healing light into this water to transform it into powerful medicine that we will drink to heal us.
There are regular guest speakers such as shaman coming over from South America wishing to share the wisdom of the ancients and their advice for this time. Check the events post for further updates on this.
Come along and experience the sounds of the underground, with South American and African drummers and shamanic/spiritual singers!
*Optional* Please bring along a cushion / pillow / something soft to sit on, and a rattle to play! Most essential is to bring an open heart and mind. This will be an evening to meet many new friends and see again your brothers and sisters, an evening to come together in unison for a higher purpose, to be one tribe.
“Less than a month until 1000 children are left without shelter and without a plan for their wellbeing, as their Calais camp will be dismantled. Pertinent thoughts from Remi Olajoyegbe on this inconvenient truth. What are we going to do about it?”
— http://remstersrant.com/blog
In Native American cultures much value is placed on mankind’s ability to plan for future generations. In fact this several hundred-year-old principle teaches that we must consider how every decision we make will affect our descendants, seven generations into the future. This covers all cultural, political, spiritual and commercial decisions. So revered was this teaching, that it was codified into the Iroquois Great Law of Peace, and adopted by many indigenous tribes.
I often ask myself, what more should we in our modern societies be learning from these ancient and often disappearing indigenous wisdoms? How many generations’ chances, freedoms and futures are we destroying as the thirst for war is satiated? I reflect upon the unfathomable suffering of millions of refugees worldwide and the often insufficient responses to their anguish and plight and I ask, as a humanitarian and also a parent, what will become of these refugee children ten to twenty years from now?
Before I answer this, let us pause and acknowledge just a few of the horrific circumstances that have ripped so many children from the arms of a loving parent, bombs? grenades? smugglers? The latter promises a slim chance of a route out of hell, but can you imagine for that bone chilling second, taking the decision to push your own precious child into the arms of a stranger in hope of a better life, or just a life? How bad would it have to be for you to make that choice? How is that even a choice that any human being has to make?
Well over 15,000 children have gone missing in Europe to add to the several thousands of unaccompanied children who are desperately in need of help. They are totally vulnerable, unprotected from the ravages of hunger and disease; exposed to all manner of abuses as they are absorbed into the sex, slavery and drugs trades.
So I ask my fellow tribesmen and women worldwide, what future are we creating for all our children?
Ten to twenty years on, when these highly traumatised, abused and isolated children reach adulthood, they will probably have suffered such extreme levels of hardship, desperation and at such impressionable ages, that they may be capable of all sorts of anti social, destructive and psychopathic behaviours.
It is short sighted of us as a society to believe anything else. Under such extreme conditions, sustained for long periods of time, we too would be capable of unacceptable acts. Would you steal to feed your starving child? I know I would. You see right now, from the comfort of our safe homes, we can observe and judge that theft under these circumstances, for example, may be the least offensive crime to us. However, our judgments are likely to become more severe as the gravity of such behaviours increases and potentially impacts or harms our own children, as well they might.
I strongly believe that ten to twenty years from now we will label and criminalise these children, now adults, as social pests, terrorists, thieves, murders, rapists and indeed whatever else we are currently paving the way for. Such frightening future outcomes are an absolute reality. Yet through the passage of time it is unlikely we will even remember that this cohort of children (to include the likes of little five year old Omran Daqneesh from Aleppo) deeply affected by their abandonment and abused human rights, were once young children fleeing our bombs, desperate to find safety, protection, compassion and peace on our shores.
The very recent UK Home Affairs Select Committee report on the current refugee crisis accuses local authorities of not pulling their weight in resettling Syrian refugees and says there is "scant evidence" that the government is on track to resettle 20,000 Syrians by 2020. Yet what to do? Signing endless petitions, lobbying MPs and local councils to take these children in still doesn't feel like it's enough, but we must keep the pressure up. Attached is a petition for a 72 hour no fly zone over Aleppo, in the hope that we grant these men, women and children safe passage and ensure that they get the essential supplies they need. Please sign it (UK petition) 72-hour-no-fly-zone-over-aleppo-syria or International petition here .
“…I see a time of Seven Generations when all the colours of mankind will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again….” (Crazy Horse, Oglala Lakota Sioux c.1840-1877)
It seems we’ve reached a point where humanity could never be more desperate for Crazy Horse’s prophesy to come to pass.
Refugees, Refugee Crisis, Jungle Calais, Syria, Aleppo, World Humanitarian Day
September 30, 2016
Calais is a big deal.
I just returned form Calais Refugee camp or the “Jungle “as it is known. introduction was made by the volunteer in charge on the day. he gave us some directions and told us: “smile and take on the chin”
He was referring to the fact that the Calais Jungle was full of people going through difficult times, full of sadness and misery.
We went to the Calais Jungle with the team of volunteers and help build shelters houses. Calais feels and to some point is a concentration camp. Thousands of people living in the worse conditions possible. The smell of misery and poverty brought me memories of the shantytowns of my city Cali in Colombia. A wound opened at that moment as I remembered how it feels to have been taken away from your home country and have not fate, no where to go. I arrived to this country 21 years ago as a refugee from Colombia.
We must keep going to the Calis Jungle and bring more people with us every time, we must keep sending the donations specially for children, women and the elderly and building materials etc Nevertheless the real challenge is to become an activist in your community in your family and with your friends, and set up a “Love group” to spread the word in a creative and loving way and stop Calais Junge in France and the other Calis jungles around the world. Calais Jungle create by man, it is the consequence of intervention and war. We must spread the word and come together, Like Akasha Jenita Wacha always says: "we are strong in numbers"
So, yes Calais Jungle is a big deal, because it represent the worse in our society: greed, apathy, cruelty and corruption. But lets remember what greed, apathy, cruelty and corruption do and create, Love can do much better, We can do and will do much better.
See you at Calis Jungle,
Rafa Semilla
***The message of the elders***
For thousand to the native people but also to the whole human race. The forest is being consumed at an alarming rate, the animals are losing their habitat and the native way of living is not longer sustainable, forcing them into poverty and hunger. The forest is losing its capacity to create rain and the rivers are drying. The elders say we are reaching the point on of our most precious treasure, t f no return, and they no longer can protect the land alone…. They need our help, we must take responsibility and work shoulder to shoulder with them to stop the destruction he rain forest. Without the rain forest there will be no rain and no life can be sustained without water.
“What happens in the Amazon concerns us all”
The Cofan people come from the Putumayo region in the South of Colombia border with Ecuador. Colombia is a country abundant in natural resources, sadly it has a history of exploitation of both its natural bounty and its people, this is a problem that continues to increase and it is now more than ever that the defence of the territory and its natural resources is becoming an issue of life and death for the indigenous communities and peasants in Colombia.
Indigenous people have a way of life that has been shaped by their environment and has been passed down through ancient lineages of wisdom, however their way of life and their existence is increasingly under threat due to the current and overwhelming influence of corporations and multinationals in their territory.
The government has issued hundreds of licenses to multinational companies that allow them to exploit natural resources. Hydroelectric plants and mines are drying out the country rivers, in other regions of Colombia Paramos (moorlands) are becoming open mines and deforestation is rapidly changing the landscape in the region causing a huge humanitarian crisis and for our fauna and flora as well, putting all kinds of species under imminent danger of becoming extinct.
The Putumayo region in the South West of Colombia has been one the most affected regions in the country. Exploitation by the rubber industry during the 1940's caused the indigenous population to be disseminated, as did the exploitation of the land for oil drilling since the 1990's and the fumigation of the land and waters as part of the USA war on drugs strategy: Plan Colombia.
The people of this land are asking for our help and support to protect their territory which is really also ours because whatever happens in the Amazonian region of the Putumayo will have an effect in our planet and our lives.
The One Love Tribal Gatherings are full energy tribal devotional gatherings, honouring our shamanic ancestry, and connecting on much deeper levels to one another.
One Love is a tribal movement for London and the World. These are Shamanic fundraising events, raising money and awareness for Indigenous Tribal Communities and tribal Shamans. Akasha and Rafa have been working closely in the last 3 years with Ninawa Pai Da Mata and Txana Ikakuru from the remote Kaxinawa Tribe Indians of the Brazilian Amazon and the Taitas in Colombia from the Cofan Tribe.
“One Love Tribe seeks to work towards supporting, protecting and preserving tribal peoples way of life and ancient wisdom, putting projects in place in their communities for alternative energy, permaculture, health, water, sanitation and education”
Amazonian Kaxinawa Tribe Leaders Lead One Love Tribal Gathering
July 4, 2016
Amazonian Kaxinawa Tribe Spiritual Leaders - Sharing Ancient Wisdom - Ninawa Pai Da Mata and Txana Ikaruru.
We are truly honoured to be having 2 Master Shamans from the remote Kaxinawa Amazonian Indian tribe coming to the UK this summer 2016. The Kaxinawá Tribe or Huni Kuin ('True People') as they calls themselves, are a remote and ancient tribe situated deep in the Amazon Rainforest between Brazil and Peru, and are in neighboring territories to the Ashaninka, the Shanenawá and the Madijá Tribes.
At this One Love they will be holding a fascinating talk/ shamanic ceremony where they will be exploring their ancient Culture, Cosmology, Sacred Traditions and their Amazonian Tribal way of life. They will be performing incredibly powerful and ancient Sacred Chants from the Huni Kuin tribe, which are many thousands of years old. Part of the funds raised from this talk will go directly to the preservation of the Kaxinawas, and to better their way of life. This is the 4th year we will have them back in the UK, and have used funds raised over the last few years to build new eco homes, a new temple, alternative energy, perma toilets, sanitation etc.... and have plans for many more projects that will protect and preserve this ancient tribe and their lands.
These 2 Masters come to share their love and wisdom and ask for our help as their tribe faces many crises with the destruction of the Amazon Rainforest, and their ancient way of life.
Ninawa Huni Kuin is a spiritual leader and Master ‘Pajé’ Shaman from his tribe; he is a beautiful spirit that carries with him a long lineage and vast ancient wisdom of many thousands of years from his tribal ancestors. Ninawa is a being of love and compassion, and helps us westerners to connect back to our tribal roots, and awaken to our shamanic ancestry.
Ninawa went to speak at the united nations to ask for help for his people and the protection of the Amazon Rainforest, its Tribes, rivers and all the ancient trees, plants and animals.
Here is a video of Ninawa speaking as a representative for the Kaxinawa Huni Kuin Tribe of their current crisis
Master Shaman Txana Ikakuru lives in his native Kaxinawa tribe village in the Jordao region oof Acre State. He is the grandson of Romao Sales (who was one of the main guardians of the sacred and ancient Huni Kuin chants of Nixi Pae) and grandson of the 103 years old Master Kaxinawa Shaman Mukaya, who Txana is still training under. Txana Ikakuru was chosen by them to carry the ancient Huni Kuin chants of the Nixi Pae and the healing knowledge. Txana is the spiritual leader of his village, which is located deep in the Amazon forest. His knowledge on medicinal plants, sacred chants and healing arts is vast. And we are truly honoured to be having him come for the first time to the UK, leaving his village to travel internationally to share this ancient knowledge and sacred chants.
Spiritual Leaders Ninawa Pai da Mata and Txana Ikakuru are 2 of the main public representatives for the Huni Kuin peoples. During this talk/shamanic ceremony both Ninawa and Txana will sing the ancient sacred chants of their people to heal us and heal the planet. These chants are many thousands of years old and very powerful! They will also teach us some of the ancient Kaxinawa dances. This is a sacred night when the rainbow warriors from the 4 directions in the concrete jungle, join in alliance and prayer with our Amazonian Tribal family for the planet and all of humanity. An important gathering as a worldwide family to pray for peace and share our love!
Come along and be part of the Ceremony, part of the Tribe!
Kaxinawa Culture
They come to spread their message of love, tell the west of their plight in the Amazon and share their wisdom by teaching the ancient ways and cosmology of their tribe. They wish to come to the west to ask for help from the Rainbow Warriors (that is us!) and to help us raise our own vibration and heal ourselves, so that we can be better humans to assist Pacha Mama (our dear Mother Earth)
In the Huni Kuin society a Shaman is known as a ‘Pajé’. The Pajé has the spiritual power to heal and cure people; he/she is the middleman between this plane of existence and the spiritual realms. The shaman communes with the spirits.
Although Pajés (shamans) have been one of the most persecuted figures of the indigenous societies, the Kaxinawá society still keeps them as a significant element in its culture. The conquerors tried hard to crush the ancient shamanic knowledge of the Amazonian tribes and Shamans, to weaken their social organization. However, the Kaxinawá had resisted. The Kaxinawas have suffered much by being victims of slaughter, captivity, slavery, discrimination and preconceptions, still thus they have managed to keep alive essential aspects of their traditions, as rituals, myths and dances, and they have safe guarded their ancient and vast plant medicine knowledge, and knowledge on the magical and healing arts.
Luckily as they are so remote in the Amazon, the missionaries did not make it them to try and convert their tribal beliefs, so there wisdom has stayed mainly intact. Today they face many new and immediate problems arising, threatening their ancient tribal way of life, as they are surrounded by the destruction of Mama Amazon, the sacred plants, trees and animals and eco systems and the many rivers begins to encroach on their territory. The Kaxinawas ask us for help and support in these difficult times for Mama Amazon and all its relatives.
The Huni Kuin receives their knowledge and wisdom over many thousands of years from the forest, the rivers, the plants, the elements, trees and animals. They are the true caretakers and protectors of the Amazon. Their knowledge on the preparation of the Amazon medicinal plants is vast and ancient, they know a cure for every condition, be it mental, physical or spiritual, this knowledge must be protected and their ancient way of life. It is of great importance, that we from the west show our support to our Amazonian tribal brothers and sisters who are fighting on the front line for the great forest.
You have an incredible opportunity to attend a talk with these 2 Master tribal Shamans. Show your support to the Huni Kuin tribe by attending this incredible, unique and rare first time opportunity to be with them in the UK and help spread the word. They will be travelling on a difficult and long journey of 6 days to get to us here (3 days is part of the journey by boat ride down the Amazon, and that is only one part of the journey!). We are very blessed and honored to have such masters here for the first time in the UK and Europe. Please come and support this amazing Amazonian Tribe.
Viva Kaxinawa Huni Kuin! Viva Pacha Mama!
Aho! Haux Haux!
These master shamans will come to the UK for all of July 2016 to perform shamanic healings, talks, workshops, and teach their powerful ancient dances and tribal chants/songs.
