July 10th 2025 – The Eighth Global Fire Ceremony
On the full moon of July 10, a sacred fire ceremony opened the World Peace Gathering at the Kindred Spirits Monument in Midleton, Co. Cork — a site honoring the 1847 Choctaw gift to the Irish.
Two ancient flames were united for the first time:
– The Eighth Fire of the Anishinaabe Prophets, calling for global unity and healing.
– The Sacred Flame of Brigid of Kildare, symbolising compassion and renewal.
Their merging marked a powerful union of Indigenous and Celtic wisdom and lit the path for the days to come.

Through the Land: West Cork to Kerry
From stone circles to song circles, our journey carried prayers through ancient landscapes.
We held Maya fire ceremonies, talking circles, offerings to the land and waters, and shared hard but sacred work. Each step deepening our connection to place, people, and purpose.

The World Peace Gathering at Dripsey Castle
18 – 20 July 2025, Co. Cork, Ireland.
From the sacred fires to the stone halls of Dripsey Castle, a global circle was formed. For three powerful days, this ancient site became a living sanctuary — where Elders, visionaries, and carriers of peace from across the world gathered in ceremony, dialogue, and unity.
In the presence of ancestral memory and living prophecy, songs were sung, truths were spoken, and the dream of a healed world was carried forward together.
