WELCOME TO VESSELS OF PEACE

 Visit to Soul of the Mother at Six Nations in Canada
Pieces of a Puzzle

For the Vessels of Peace women and others who made the journey as well as for those who held space for the visit at home, this was a remarkable experience that only began to reveal some of the pieces of a gigantic cosmic puzzle we are all working on and part of. 

Diane Longboat is a visionary Mohawk woman, a ceremonial leader, a healer, a teacher and the founder of Soul of the Mother. She and her council have a mission “to offer Ancient Indigenous wisdom as a means of awakening the true loving essence of the human spirit.  We join with the natural rhythm of the heartbeat of our Mother Earth and we are governed by the sacred world of the Spirit.”

This sacredness is exactly what was experienced—love and deep connection with each other, with the earth and with the sacred fire that burns continuously within the lodge at Soul of the Mother.  Ceremonies were shared, visions for a more peaceful, loving world were expressed, and the beauty of the drums, chants, sacred pipe, sweat lodge, and expansive dialog were experienced.

The Vessels of Peace women shared the Darshan of Peace blessing, offering it in a new way that incorporated sound, movement, touch and holding space. It was a profound experience for both the givers and receivers. It was after the Darshan that Ms. Longboat acknowledged Vessels of Peace as a “tradition,” a beautiful validation of the spirit of the Vessels of Peace mission and practices. 

This visit felt like a rebirth for Vessels of Peace, a re-igniting of the vision. It is alchemy, something new to be created, not just for Vessels of Peace, but also for so many women’s organizations gathering globally now, a collective experience.

From Core Circle member, Laurel Boyd, about her experience:

It's very difficult for me to put into words the experience of being at Soul of the Mother.  It felt like a coming home and at the same time I felt like an ambassador from another land.  There was such a meeting of hearts and an embracing of all Vessels of Peace is.  We were truly seen and heard in a way rarely experienced.  This was a huge gift.  And I came away knowing that this is how people must meet - with all parts of themselves wide open.  Without judgment and without fear. By being truly met we meet ourselves.  I was filled with gratitude for the wonderful gifts Vessels of Peace has been given by the Sacred Feminine and I saw their importance for the world.  And I also knew that now the time is coming when Vessels of Peace will find its permanent home - a physical home - here on Earth.  It will be another place where these types of meetings will happen.

Do you have a piece of the puzzle?
