Join us on Zoom for this Spring Peacekeeper session, where Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo and ministers will be speaking on the theme:

The Power of Speech: Cultivating the Voice of Inspiration,
Cooperation and Manifesting Wisdom and Skill

Inspired by the Peacemaker and teachings passed down for 27 generations in the Ywahoo family. This workshop is suitable for those interested in learning to deepen their practice of peace and service to Mother Earth and all sentient beings.

The program is rooted in the timeless Native American spiritual wisdom of “caretaker mind” and living in right relationship within the circle of life. The program also offers the opportunity to align with one’s life purpose.

The Peacekeeper programs develop four fundamental qualities of mind:

Mindfulness: The ability to see things as they are, to be fully present in the moment, and to manifest right thought, right action.

Peacekeeper Consciousness: Recognition of one’s responsibility and power to manifest peace through right relationship with all the family of life.

Caretaker Mind: Awareness of one’s privilege and duty to serve as a caretaker of this planet, honoring the Earth as a living being and sowing seeds of abundance and harmony unto seven generations.

Continuity of Mind: Understanding of cause and effect in determining the quality of one’s life, death and future lives, and in shaping the karma of groups, nations and the planet.

The Peacekeeper Teachings offer the opportunity to align with one’s life purpose, that one may manifest one’s gifts in harmony with the building elements of life in oneself and the planetary biosphere. Peacekeepers learn to perceive the patterns of mind-emotion and to clarify the stream, that our actions may bring abundance and harmony for all beings.

Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo will speak on Saturday Afternoon (EDT)

This semester is the seventh of an eight semester series that will span four years. Each semester stands on its own and also each semester builds on each other. This Peacekeeper semester is offered by members of the Peacekeeper teaching team under the supervision of Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo.

The Peacekeeper Program is a beauteous basket of ever deepening teachings and practices. The two weekend days and Study Days provide intense training of mind and emotions to clear and support our natural inner wisdom. The sequence of the teachings build one upon the other. In order to gain the most benefit from the teachings, full participation online or in person is best.

Quotations

Often as people come closer and closer to understanding their true nature, they find themselves distracted and annoyed by things, or deep fears come up that they had not known were there. When these fears and other uncertainties of the mind arise, it is a great opportunity to see them as they are, just thought patterns, and have no attachment to them. (p. 258)

Voices of Our Ancestors

As human beings we have a significant responsibility in this time. It is to relate to those patterns in ourselves that lead to fear, doubt, and aggression in such a way that they are transmuted. You never deny what is, but simply acknowledge, “Oh, that feeling is there.” Is it really you? No, it is feeling arising from emotion. Generate the antidote.

Voices of our Ancestors

Each of us is a battery, a resonator, a musical instrument, and we are setting waves of many patterns and many possible futures in the sea of life. Let us be discriminating in the futures that we shape forth. (p. 157)

Voices of Our Ancestors

Ceremony is the opportunity to say thank you. It is the gift of our life force and our thought to explore the potential. Ceremony honors the cycles of the moon, the sun, and even more subtle cycles that connect our solar system with other galaxies and the very heart of this and all universes.
