WE HOSTED PEOPLE OF DIVERSE CULTURES AND FAITHS AT ARAWAKA AND SHARED INDIGENOUS FORMS OF SPIRITUAL WORK IN A GOOD WAY, THE WAY THAT HAS BEEN PASSED ON FOR MANY GENERATIONS. ESTIMATED PARTICIPANTS: 230 WE WERE BLESSED TO HOST OUR MAIN ELDER FROM THE ANDEAN MOUNTAINS OF SOUTH AMERICA. HE SHARED HIS WISDOM AND CUSTOMS WITH US AND ADDED A POWERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL COMPONENT TO ALL OF OUR SUMMER PROGRAMS. THE ELDER'S BANK OF WISDOM PROGRAM IS DEDICATED TO HELP PRESERVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM HELD BY OUR ELDER'S SO THAT IT CAN BE SHARED FOR THE BENEFIT OF A HEALTHY EARTH. ESTIMATED PARTICIPANTS: 80 52360 EDUCATIONAL HEALING WE HOSTED FIVE GROUPS DEDICATED TO CREATING A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EARTH AND ALL LIFE. ONE GROUP WAS A CORPORATE GROUP THAT HAD A DESIRE FOR THEIR WORK TO CREATE A RECIPROCAL RELATIONSHIP WITH LIFE. THEY STAYED FOR FOUR DAYS AND PARTICIPATED IN TEACHINGS AND OUR COMMUNITY LIFE. TWO OTHER GROUPS WERE A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT WITH ANOTHER NON-PROFIT AND EACH WAS SEVEN DAYS LONG. THESE WERE DIVERSE GROUPS HAILING FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS BUT ALL WANTING TO WORK FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE EARTH AND A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH LIFE. THE REMAINING TWO GROUPS WERE SIMILAR TO THE COLLABORATIVE PROJECT BUT ORGANIZED BY FRIENDS OF ARAWAKA. WE HAVE WITNESSED IN MANY INSTANCES HOW PEOPLE'S LIVES WERE TRANSFORMED AFTER A FEW DAYS OF GOING DEEP WITH THIS WORK IN THE CONTEXT OF THE GROUP AND WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER GROUP WORK IN THE FUTURE. ESTIMATED PARTICIPANTS: 80 36865 COMMUNITY LIFE SUMMERS HAVE BECOME A RICH TIME FOR OUR ONGOING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. DURING THIS YEAR WE ALSO HELD THREE LARGE COMMUNITY WORK WEEKS WHERE THE PEOPLE OF THE ARAWAKA COMMUNITY WERE INVITED TO STAY AT ARAWAKA TO WORK TOGETHER ON NEEDED MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND SMALL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.
