An Invitation to our Human Family
With open hearts, profound gratitude, and sacred responsibility, we invite artists, cultural carriers, musicians, storytellers, poets, filmmakers, dancers, ceremonial leaders, educators, youth, elders, families, communities, tribes, nations, and people of goodwill worldwide to join the Second World Peace Gathering.
This gathering unfolds as one continuous ceremonial process across four movements. It builds upon the World Peace Gathering, July 10-20, 2025, which concluded at Dripsey Castle on July 20, with the ignition of the Binding Planetary Peace Treaty to End War, carrying forward its spirit of Indigenous leadership, cultural exchange, spiritual unity, bridge-building, and collective prayer.
The process begins with creative and spiritual attunement, moves through deep relationship and consultation, turns toward coordinated action, and extends into a living, ongoing commitment that carries forward the **Binding Planetary Peace Treaty to End War**until it is fulfilled everywhere on our Mother Earth.
Preparation-July 17-Two Talking Circle Intensive Trainings:
9 AM -12 Noon ET and 2 PM -5 PM ET
The three-hour intensive Talking Circle training introduces participants to the history, spiritual foundations, ethical responsibilities, and practical skills required to facilitate a safe and meaningful Circle.
Participants learn how to prepare the physical and emotional space, establish confidentiality and shared agreements, use a talking object respectfully, frame clear questions, balance participation, honor silence, listen without judgment, and prevent interruption, debate, domination, advice-giving, or personal criticism.
The training also explores the responsibilities of the facilitator, including how to welcome participants; open and close the Circle; respond gently when guidelines are not followed; support emotionally difficult sharing; clarify without interpreting or judging; and recognize when an issue requires additional healing, professional, cultural, or community support.
Through teaching, demonstration, reflection, and direct practice, participants experience the Talking Circle not merely as a meeting technique, but as a sacred discipline of humility, truthfulness, compassionate listening, equality, relationship, and collective healing.
If you would like to participate in one of the Talking Circle Trainings, please email us at [email protected] with the Training Session you would like to participate in. You will receive a Zoom link to participate.
Movement One: Twenty-Four Hours of Arts for Peace
Awakening the Creative Spirit, Uplifting the Human Family, and Preparing the Sacred Way
Dates: Saturday, July 18, 2026, 9:45 a.m. PDT – Sunday, July 19, 2026, 9:45 a.m. PDT
(Ireland: 5:45 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. Irish Summer Time)
For one full turning of Mother Earth, participants worldwide will offer every sincere form of artistic and cultural expression that uplifts the human spirit: music, song, drumming, flute, poetry, storytelling, dance, theater, visual arts, film, digital creation, ceremonial arts, land-based works, culinary arts, and more.
Purposes:
Uplift hearts weighed down by grief, fear, and trauma.
Bring body, mind, heart, and spirit into alignment.
Build genuine relationships across cultures before positions harden.
Awaken collective imagination for a world beyond war.
Offer a living planetary prayer.
The arts serve as a bridge among mathematics (patterns of creation), language (shared memory and truth), inner symbolic life (dreams and visions), and the Spiritual World. When these systems unite in pure intention, they create something greater than their parts — a living relationship among humanity, Mother Earth, ancestors, and the Sacred.
Four Great Artistic Movements (mirroring the later consultation and action streams):
Mother Earth, Waters, Territory, and Roots of Conflict
Economy, Resources, Disarmament, and Redirection Toward Life
Human Dignity, Healing, Justice, and Reconciliation
The Seventh Generation, Dreams, Education, Technology, and the Future
The twenty-four hours unfold as a planetary relay across time zones, with local gatherings feeding into a global stream. A proposed agenda includes an opening ceremony, thematic artistic blocks, participatory creation, shared meals, the honoring of Tonska Standing Bear and Irish Brother John Doyle, music across the waters, a night vigil, dawn of the Seventh Generation, and a seamless ceremonial transition.
Participation Principles: Humility, reciprocity, respect for cultural protocols, consent, accessibility, and safeguarding of sacred expressions. The focus remains on service to peace, not competition or spectacle.
At 9:45 a.m. PDT on July 19, the arts flow directly into the next movement without a break.
Movement Two: The World Peace Consultation, Sacred Council, and Treaty Anniversary Vigil
From Heart-to-Heart Relationship to a Shared Foundation for Unified Action
Dates: Sunday, July 19, 2026, 9:45 a.m. PDT – Monday, July 20, 2026, 9:45 a.m. PDT
Sacred Threshold: 4:00 p.m. PDT, July 19 (midnight in Ireland, beginning the anniversary of the 2025 gathering)
This movement carries the creative harvest, relationships, and spiritual attunement of the arts into disciplined listening, truth-telling, and co-creation. It centers on the Binding Planetary Peace Treaty to End War as a living covenant — both sacred and practical.
Core Process:
Talking Circles for heart-to-heart relationship-building and trust.
Topic Circles exploring the four great areas.
Presentations followed by reflection, root-cause analysis, and pathway identification.
Special observance at the Irish midnight anniversary threshold, honoring the 2025 gathering, John Doyle, Standing Bear, and the shared journey.
The four areas of consultation mirror the artistic movements and prepare the action streams:
Mother Earth, Territory, Climate, Water, and Roots of Conflict
Economy, Resources, Disarmament, and Redirection of Wealth Toward Life
Human Dignity, Healing, Justice, and Community Protection
The Seventh Generation, Education, Technology, Governance, and Treaty Implementation
By the end of this movement, participants emerge with a Collective Win statement, shared understandings, and the relational foundation for implementation. The harvest flows seamlessly into Movement Three at 9:45 a.m. PDT on July 20.
Movement Three: Manifesting the Binding Planetary Peace Treaty to End War
The World Peace Implementation Summit – From Consultation to Coordinated Global Action and Shared Impact
Dates: Monday, July 20, 2026, 9:45 a.m. PDT – 4:00 p.m. PDT
(Ireland: 5:45 p.m. – midnight, beginning July 21)
This culminating summit transforms understanding into commitment and organization. It establishes a Team of Teams for Peace — a Hoop of Many Hoops — where distinct organizations, Nations, communities, and initiatives align around the Collective Win without losing their sovereignty or identity.
Four Coordinated Action Streams (building directly on prior movements):
Mother Earth, Water, Territory, Climate, and Roots of Conflict
Economy, Resources, Disarmament, and Redirection Toward Life
Human Dignity, Healing, Justice, Reconciliation, and Community Protection
The Seventh Generation, Education, Arts, Technology, Governance, and Treaty Implementation
Participants map existing work, identify gaps, form stewardship teams, set 30- and 90-day milestones and longer-term milestones, and commit to specific, accountable actions. Shared impact — outcomes greater than the sum of separate efforts — becomes the guiding principle.
The summit closes with a powerful Treaty Renewal and Activation at 4:00 p.m. PDT (midnight in Ireland), affirming that the formal gathering ends but the living ceremony continues.
Movement Four: The Continuing Process – From the 99 Days to Enlighten Our Way Together and Beyond
The Fourth Movement carries the sacred fire forward into ongoing cycles of renewal, action, learning, and expansion. It begins immediately after the July 20 closing and extends through key milestones:
The 99 Days of Peace Through Unity (Choose Peace. Live Peace. End War.) — a period of local and coordinated implementation, reporting, and relationship-building, concluding September 27, 2026.
Seventh Annual Enlighten Our Way Together (December 18–22, 2026), hosted by Indigenous partners including the Continental Indigenous Council. This gathering reviews progress, deepens relationships, addresses obstacles, refines plans, and renews commitments.
Observances Honoring Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — guided by African and African-descended relatives in partnership with Indigenous leadership, emphasizing compassion, justice, nonviolence, truth-telling, and healing.
Continuing cycles through World Water Day, Mother Earth Day, the June 2027 Solstice, and beyond.
This movement is not a conclusion but a perpetual spiral. Talking Circles, Topic Groups, action streams, and the Team of Teams persist. The Collective Win remains the north star. Ceremony, relationship, consultation, and shared impact remain the methods. The Binding Planetary Peace Treaty lives through daily choices, community practices, institutional changes, and planetary cooperation until war is ended and Mother Earth is restored.
Closing Affirmation
We affirm that Peace on Earth is inevitable. We choose peace. We live in peace. We end the war. We restore Mother Earth.
We serve the Seventh Generation. The ceremony continues through arts and imagination, relationship and truth, action and accountability, until the Binding Planetary Peace Treaty to End War becomes manifest everywhere on our Mother Earth.
