EVERYONE! WEAR THE COLOR RED!
|
The color red is sacred to American Indians. All our medicines and artifacts used in ceremonies are wrapped in the color red. Red represents new birth of the sun (son?) and the color of the east is red. Red is the color of blood. Red is the color of new beginnings, a new day, a new promise, a new birth. Red also signifies the color of the sun: a symbol of energy, radiating its vitalizing life-force into human beings. Red symbolizes one of the four sacred directions.

A Fulfillment of Prophesy at Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas

BE IN THE MOMENT... AWAKEN IN THE MOMENT... |
||
“...The Moment represents an international gathering of people of all faiths, cultures, races, and backgrounds who will take a step toward recovering the collective soul of all mankind. This collegial effort based in our mutual faith in God as the individual knows the Creator, together in prayer, worship, ceremony, and fellowship represents many of the ideals curative and pastoral we work to achieve." - Rev. Dr. Fred Wilcoxson, Manataka, College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy
On October 20, 2012, thousands of people will join hands, hearts and minds on TOP of the Hot Springs Mountain, a traditional indigenous sacred site known as Manataka. In fulfillment of prophesy, people will come from all walks of life, races and religions to create a circle of love, prayer and Awakening. The Moment will be sanctified in time with the creation of a holy vibration that by the grace of God and through the Holy Spirit, a global emotional and spiritual awakening will occur that is essential to human connection of Spirit and Mother Earth. The Moment will create a mass consciousness and give birth to a "light that will spread to many lands." |

YOU ARE INVITED |

"The churches of the world all speak of a hereafter. Those who follow the Christian faith speak of this as being the Kingdom of Heaven, or the Kingdom of God. Some people of the world believe they must die to enter this “Kingdom”; be it Heaven or Nirvana. We must realize that it is not a place, but a state of mind, a state of knowing that you and God are One." - Rev. Thomas M. Haley, Manataka, Rock Hill Christian Church, Hot Springs, AR
Agnostic, American Indian, Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian – Protestant and Catholic, Confucian, Druid, Hindu, Islam, Jainis, Jewish, Mayan, Sami and other traditions of Shamanism, Shinto, Sikh, Tao, Wicca, and Zoroastrian - all are invited to generate this rainbow spectrum of Spiritual Light. You carry with you a vibration from Creator. Please join us.
Local churches, temples, mosques and synagogues are invited to bring their choirs and ring church bells during the event. Drums, rattles, shofars, conch shells, flutes – however you make a joyful noise -- are welcome.
We need more buses to carry people to the TOP of the mountain from the Train Depot / Transportation Depot (See Maps)

Morten Greywolf Storeide of Norway is responsible for making the World Drum Project a reality. The World Drum Project started as a vision of a drum that would travel around the planet. This drum is to be a 'wake-up' call for the people of Earth, to resound with a healing vibration wherever it traveled. A Norweigan Sami, Birger Mikkelsen created this special drum. The World Drum has now traveled around the globe 6 times. And on October 20, just one day before it's 6th anniversary, it will be in Hot Springs, Arkansas for The Moment event. When Morten Storeide learned of the Moment event, he felt that he and the Drum 'must' be there, since one of the main purposes of The World Drum is to Unite. Morten was recently elected to the governing board of the Shamanic Organization of Norway.
Grandfather Jorge Ortega brings his big family of Sixth Sun Aztec Dancers in their fourth appearance at Manataka for sacred ceremonies. The fantastic color and majesty of the 'dansa' is breathtaking.
