KIVA: Call of the Wisdom Keepers
Documentary and Inspiring Dialogue
With Filmmaker Marijke Kodden and Indigenous Elders
Wednesday 18 March 2026

You are invited to a special online film screening and dialogue. Revived after a vision in 1968, KIVA Gatherings rekindle a ceremony believed to be more than 3,000 years old. Through powerful prayers, stories, and conversations with Wisdom Keepers, the film invites us to reflect on how we might restore balance in our relationship with the Earth— and with one another.

The film captures the spirit of this ancient ceremony that has brought together Indigenous leaders from around the world for more than three decades to pray for peace, equality, and the restoration of harmony with Mother Earth.

Following the screening, we will be joined for a live dialogue with Wisdom Keeper Rutendo Ngara from Zimbabwe, South Africa, and a special surprise guest, offering a rare opportunity to hear Indigenous perspectives on healing, unity, and our shared future.

Your participation supports the continued work of Roots of the Earth / Raíces de la Tierra, the organization that carries the KIVA ceremonies forward worldwide, including this year’s gathering in Zimbabwe.

By joining this event, you help keep the sacred fire burning, supporting Indigenous leadership, global unity, and the restoration of balance with our Earth.
