DESCRIPTION:\nFilm evenings begin with potluck refreshments and social hour at  6:30 
 pm,\nfollowed by the film at  7:30 pm, followed by a discussion after the 
 film.\n\nFOR THE NEXT 7 GENERATIONS\nby Carole Hart\n\n–  Audri Scott 
 Williams and Mary Margaret Woods\nappearing in person\n\nThis remarkable 
 documentary reveals the importance of Indigenous knowledge in our world 
 today.  Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers who are wise elders, shamans, and 
 medicine women, from all four corners of the world share their timeless 
 wisdom to help us make a difference in our every day lives in service of 
 peace, of Mother Earth, and healing in the world.  In 2004, these dauntless 
 Grandmothers, moved by their concern for our planet, came together at an 
 historic peace gathering where they decided to form an alliance which 
 became The International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers.  The 
 purpose of the Council is to use prayer, healing, ceremonies, and plant 
 medicine to stop the destruction of Mother Earth and to restore balance and 
 harmony to the world.  It is obvious that the scope of the grandmothers’ 
 purpose is vast.  The grandmothers advocate for the inherent rights of all 
 women;  for the well-being of their children, the fertility of their land, 
 and the survival of their culture and ways of prayer.  The grandmothers 
 gathered to fulfill a long-standing prophecy, responding to a call to 
 action from the Grandmothers of the Spirit World.  They began their quest 
 to remember all the ancient prophecies and the sacred paths of traditional 
 healing, and to open a window to the sacred love that is there for all of 
 us.  They travel around the globe to promote world peace and share their 
 indigenous ways of healing.\n\nThis film tells their story.   Each 
 Grandmother tells her individual story.  Then they share with us their 
 common visions of healing and a call for change now, before it is too late. 
  Hear the collective wisdom of the Grandmothers as they guide our thoughts 
 to prophecy, women’s wisdom, sacred relations, Mother Earth, oppression, 
 nature’s pharmacy, and prayer.  Their advice is simple, direct, from the 
 heart, backed by the Spirit ancestors, and backed by the practices of 
 indigenous communities around the world.  Through their teachings, they are 
 lighting a way to a peaceful, sustainable planet.  These thirteen intrepid 
 women were brought together by a common vision dedicated to sustaining 
 indigenous ways of life through cross-cultural spiritual practices, 
 education, and commitment to peace and unity for all peoples.\n\nThey are 
 currently on tour across the U.S., showing their film everywhere! Their 
 tour is called 13 Moon Walk 4 Peace and began on 10/10/10 and will conclude 
 on 11/11/11.  Their Vision Keeper, Audri Scott Williams, and their 
 coordinator, Mary Margaret Woods, will be on hand this evening to talk 
 about the film and facilitate discussions about it.  All 13 grandmothers 
 are in process of walking to more than 42 cities — awakening the heart of 
 America, bringing visibility to the invisible, and voice to the voiceless 
 to affect healing and transformation in the way that we relate to each 
 other and Mother Earth.  This walk and film screening is sponsored in part 
 by The Spirit of Truth Foundation.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the 
 corner at  411  28th  Street\n\nDonations are gratefully accepted\n\n\n
