Spiritual Unity of the Tribes Gathering 2024

All our friends and relations!

The Spiritual Unity of the Tribes gathering seeks to unite the hearts of all peoples and replace our present-day chaos with love, not hate. Bringing the youth and the elders in peace and consultation, building connection through native ceremonies, elder wisdom, youthful energy, and meaningful relationships is our chosen way. Come join and support us in this life-changing experience benefiting us, the earth, and our unborn generations to come.

Your heartfelt prayers and support are needed for the upcoming Spiritual Unity of the Tribes Gathering in Oregon, Illinois, USA, June 20-23, 2024.

We are raising funds, so people of all backgrounds can come and participate without cost. Please help us assist as many Elders, and others to attend by covering their transportation, housing, and food. Your contribution will provide individuals the ability to be present at the Gathering and share their voice as part of serving and creating a vibrant community.

Reaching our goal is not just about the funds we gather but also about unlocking new possibilities. Achieving this milestone will qualify us to receive additional support from larger charitable organizations and foundations.

How can we help?

There will always be things that cost money, so when in doubt, donations take the pressure off the

services we intend to deliver.

Housing for 5 nights $500.00
