PURPOSE We are convening a Council of All Beings in Montpelier, Vermont to bring the voices of the earth to the center of our lives and actions. As the new era dawns, we hold a sacred intention to honor Earth and to bring ourselves into a new communion with all life. We bring this gathering to the Vermont State House to the call decision- makers all over the world to listen more deeply to the voices of Earth. We will honor the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers at the gathering to connect with them and with people all over the world who share this sacred mission. JOIN US We live in an era of unprecedented challenge, and we need your spirit and your voice to join in our call for change. We are asking the voices of all beings to come to Montpelier and work together to mark the path forward, to forge a movement that runs deeper than politics, wider than boundaries, truer and clearer than current plans and programs. People will be nominated to speak voices other than their own – for the earth, the waters, the winds, and the animals, plants, and winged ones.
