Indigenous and Tribal Grandmothers Visit S.C. to Raise Money for Global Causes



Grandmother Pauline is returning to SoCal May 31 to June 3. She will be returning from Alaska and a gathering with the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. She will attend a meeting on the state of our oceans in Hawaii as a key speaker at the end of June.

This is a critical time on our planet and the wisdom that Grandmother carries is critical, especially around the topic of our oceans and water rights.

Although Grandmother's trips are generally paid for there are still critical expenses that are not taken care of. This is our opportunity to support her work around the world by gathering with her, listening to her heartfelt wisdoms and offering donations towards her work.

A visit with Grandmother Pauline will be an invaluable memory of this important time we are in.

Please come and help to support her efforts by listening, learning, activating ways in which we too can assist in igniting the cause for peace on this planet and in her waters. Please give generously. Donations for this evening gathering are requested between $10 - $25, as your offering will further assist in her travels in which she touches as many lives as she can with her wisdom and messages in empowering communities to work together.
