With gratitude to our fiscal sponsor Climate Foundation, based in Oregon.
World Peace Gathering - July 18th-20th, 2025
Location: Under open-air giant marquee tent at Dripsey Castle, County Cork (capacity 500 people)
The heart of our summer event will unfold on July 18th, 19th and 20th, with music, art, prayer, ceremony, presentations and talking circles, culminating in the signing of an historic and binding Planetary Peace Treaty. This World Peace Gathering is an historic and profoundly spiritual occasion and also a testament to the power of unity and collaboration and consultation. It will bring together Indigenous leaders, elder wisdom keepers, and peacekeepers from around the world, including Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr., member of the Ihanktonwan and Chickasaw Nations, as well as members of the Council of the Condor, Hummingbird, Quetzal, and Eagle that is uniting indigenous peoples across the Americas, among myriad others, including Indigenous leaders from European First Nations such as Friesland and Greenland, and from South Pacific nations, the Americas and the rest of the world. Those who can not attend in person will join via livestream. Together we will build bridges of unity and peace around Mother Earth.
This World Peace Gathering is not just an event but the answer to a profound prophecy and call to action: In 2023, during Sacred Ceremony at the Mayan pyramids in Palenque, Mexico, the Irish people were mandated with the vital role of being bridge-builders between global communities, carrying with them the 16 Guiding Indigenous Principles. This mandate is central to Kindred Spirits Ireland, and our upcoming gatherings in Cork, which will serve as a platform to continue this legacy, uniting people from across the world to focus on peace-building, cultural exchange, and healing the planet through global cooperation. We are united in our commitment to world peace, the end of all war, and the protection of Mother Earth. We will honour the Covenant and the 16 Guiding Indigenous Principles, in support of humanity fulfilling our collective role as Stewards of Pacha Mama (Mother Earth).
Full Moon Eighth Fire Ceremony - July 10th, 2025
Cork, Ireland
On July 10th, we will begin our sacred journey with the Full Moon Eighth Fire Ceremony at the iconic Kindred Spirits Sculpture in Midleton, County Cork, in conjunction with the Sacred Global Eighth Fire Circle, a worldwide spiritual initiative focused on healing, unity, and environmental stewardship. During this ceremony, Irish ashes will be added to the Global Eighth Fire Ashes, symbolizing Ireland's deep connection to the planetary community and reinforcing our shared commitment. This ceremony is a powerful ritual that amplifies our collective intentions for peace, healing, and harmony with Mother Earth. The Full Moon represents a time of spiritual reflection, empowerment, and community connection, and we are honored to join together with global participants in this ancient ceremony. We invite all who feel called to take part in this sacred act of unity, hopefully in person, if not online, as we honor our shared humanity and strengthen our commitment to the protection of Pacha Mama (Mother Earth).
