I am excited about this years theme, the world unity flag and especially the honoring of elders and indigenous peoples. Here in the Lower Mainland of BC we are donating towards a group of aboriginal elders called Elders Speak Wisdom that i found out about years ago. Turns out they were definitely in need of cash to help with their travels to events throughout BC. They seem excited about being given attention from our dance community.

Also i managed to find an elder thru a friend who will be our special guest this coming weekend named Ben who is responsible as an activist for gaining us Canadians our health care. I love that Earthdance inspired me to make these connections as it is something i feel is of great value to us younger generations. Ben is 92 so this is an opportunity to not miss.

Here's to all the Earthdances internationally creating greater connection with our elders and indigenous peoples.
