40th Annual Native American
Elders and Youth Gathering

July 26th – 28th, 2024

This Year’s Theme:
Earth Awareness: How Our Hearts Resonate with
the Voice of Myriad Galaxies

As pulsations reverberate through our hearts,
our brains, the earth – we see the ability to harmonize what appears as discordant through compassionate skill. We are part of a reciprocal system – just as we are impacted by the weather outside, consider there is a return pulse through our hearts that is beneficial for the harmony of all beings.
–Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo

Join us on the zoom platform or in person at the beautiful Peace Village in Lincoln, Vermont, for the 40th Annual Native American Elders and Youth Gathering Friday- Sunday, July 26th – 28th, 2024, with workshops Monday July 29th. This gathering is hosted by Ven. Dhyani Ywahoo, chief of the Green Mountain Ani Yun Wiwa, and Sunray Meditation Society & Peace Village.

The Indigenous peoples of the Americas prophesied that the day would come when they would share their spiritual teachings with all people. For 39 years, Ven. Dhyani Ywahoo, Sunray’s spiritual director, and Sunray Meditation Society have been fulfilling that prophecy through its annual Elders Gathering. This 40th year we are inviting young people as well as Elders to present and share from their hearts.

Elders and Youth Gathering is a place for everyone of like-mind and -heart, committed to living in harmony with the Earth and all living beings, to learn, listen, share, and experience the creative power of a global spiritual community.

At the annual Elders and Youth Gathering, Indigenous Youth and Elders, along with quantum physicists, and environmental and earth scientists, come together with the community from all walks of life and many different nationalities. Elders share wisdom, reveal the sacred teachings within ancient prophecies, and engage in multi-generational, community discussions about building a new way of walking in harmony with Mother Earth.

This year, Elders and Youth Gathering will be a hybrid event, live-streamed from the Sunray Peace Village in Lincoln, Vermont (following Vermont and CDC Health Guidelines).
