We received the invitation, we shared it with our community and you answered. Thank you!
With your help we raised $5,758 to cover airfare, food, lodging, and ceremonial travel expenses.
We had a total of 69 donors that financially contributed to making this possible, from $5 to $1000, we are moved by the response to our heart prayer and how our community responded.
To start this journey, we prayed to Mother Earth to have her move the resources and for Great Spirit, God, Sibö, to open the path and the right people. We believed in something far greater than we could see, we felt it within our bones, a potent offering to the ancestral lands of Ireland (Ériu: What local indigenous people call the land) with our songs, prayers and presence to weave a new thread of this New Earth.
We are building together a vision in heart that is already manifested. Our indigenous voices play a role as ancestral memories to Mother Earth and by bringing 2 women that serve as bridges within indigenous lands in Costa Rica, you are planting a seed of hope for all future generations.
We are grateful for your contribution to our collective prayer and vision for a better way, for humanity to remember our divine and play creatively in harmony with all relations our inheritance as children of this world.
This action you took is living proof of what we all believe.
New Earth is here, prayer and action from heart our key.
The Eighth Sacred Fire Ireland 2025
According to the sacred teachings of the Anishinaabe People, humanity has now entered the time of the Eighth Fire, a moment of profound decision for the future of our world. This prophecy speaks of eight eras, or “fires,” each marking a key moment in the relationship between Indigenous peoples of Abya Yala (the Americas) and the arriving colonizers.
The Eighth Fire is the final prophecy.
It tells us that if humanity chooses the Sacred Path of unity, peace, and healing — guided by justice and love — we will enter a Golden Age. But if we continue on a path of division and destruction, we will descend into deeper suffering. This is not just a story of the past, it is a prophecy being lived now.
The fire was publicly lit in 2023 in Hidalgo, Mexico, and carried across the Americas, uniting sacred lineages from both Abya Yala and the Celtic lands of Ériu. This moment represents a spiritual crossroad for the entire human family.
In July 10th 2025, we arrive for the fire ignited in Ériu with more earth people nations from across Abya Yala and the local Irish people who guided us into our pilgrimage of prayers, offerings to these lands. A prayer for World Peace and our Hearts to be aligned as children for Mother Earth.
In 1847, during Ireland’s Great Famine, the Choctaw Nation, despite having recently endured the Trail of Tears, sent a donation of $170 (equivalent to thousands today) to support the Irish people in their time of hunger.
This historic act of solidarity is now honored with the Kindred Spirits memorial in Midleton, County Cork — a powerful symbol of intercultural empathy, resilience, and shared humanity.
In 2025, during the World Peace Conference, a ceremonial gathering at this memorial brought together Irish singers, First Nations representatives, children, and elders, all united in one voice — a living tribute to ancestral generosity and the enduring power of connection between peoples.

Our Pilgrimage in Ériu
The Irish people known to be the people of 100 stories and 100 welcomes.
We remained mainly in the Province known as Munster to be close our next gathering, the World Peace Conference.
We were guided by local Irish people and follow the land where it wanted us to go.
Families open their homes, new brothers and sisters took us to sacred ancient sites.
We were guided by women to sacred wells, we witness all the work that it takes to keep these sites clean, how they bring prayers, songs and rituals to these sites for the healing of their people.
We were inside sweatlodges where men carry a prayer for healing of their painful wounds which have brought alcoholism as part of the “culture”.
Songs and prayer in Gaelic showed us the resistance to keep the connection alive to their sacred sites. A way to honor the ancestors and be guided in this new phase Èriu is displaying before our eyes.
We arrived to be so well received by the local people. A dear brother took us with his van and drove us from Dublin to Cork. Helped us with getting our bearing in a new land and introduced us to the community, the land was already working with all of us!
We were mainly guided to go to sacred water sites, from Mahon Falls to Sacred Wells and a Holy Island, we went were spirit led us to make prayers, share stories with the local earth keepers, water keepers and to feel the pain and the healing the people of Èriu.
Prayers of healing of the men from alcoholism, prayer for the children, the waters and the pain of colonization by the British Empire that remains to clear a new way, for Èriu to be a bridge for Europe on Peace and Reconnection.
Message we received from the lands, therefore the people.
We need to have heart to heart conversations around the sacred fire to heal our ancestral wounds of the Empire, colonization which are taking our men, women, children from their divine path. This is for all earth people including our indigenous nations in Costa Rica.
The native sacred trees of the lands of Èriu disappearing through deforestation driven by English colonization, industrial needs, shift in religious practices and the decline of traditional skills of the usage of this resource.Trees were viewed as sources of magical power in folk customs. oak, hazel, holly, yew, ash, Scots pine, and wild apple. These were known as the "lords of the wood”.We must safeguard all crafts, medicines, stories we still have from our local trees as these are the ancestral teachers for our lineages.

We are blessed to have so much water in Costa Rica, in Chirripo it even says “eternal waters” yet we see the war on water now and how we are in a crucial point to be stewards of water sources in our community. Water is life! we Must start taking action in protecting sacred springs! Women are to take this responsibility back and men are to guard the movement.
Ancestral and original languages are the umbilical chord of our divine human connection to mother earth. Its a frequency that has power while modern colonized language is causing a rupture between our true connection. We are to support the cultivation of future generations to speak a language the lands recognize, specially inside indigenous territories, for the children to continue this prayer for the New Earth and learn how to sing ancestral songs from the heart.
We must honor our elders still connected to earth principles and teachings. We must safe guard the transmission of the stories, the songs, the ceremonial and ritual ways to connect to the land. We must all come back to our ancestral memories to our own people and support any local indigenous communities to cultivate this for their future generations while we offer the same possibility to all children who have been disrupted from this natural cycle of teaching through the circle of elders in our communities.

WORLD PEACE CONFERENCE, Dripsey Castle
We came together in this place to make an agreement with ourselves, with our communities, with our world family of earth humans.
We must preserve the peace within so we can live in peace without. We must do all we can to safeguard the ancestral teachings. We must be led by pure heart and love.
We must recognize the Empire, the colonizer mindset, the division and heal all trauma. We must realize that the prophecies are coming true and we must choose to walk in harmony with all our relatives!
We must start educating our local communities, about the importance of our water, our food sources, we must safe guard the passage for the new children that are being born in the lands of Costa Rica, we must protect them so they can be birthed in the ancestral ways and they can receive their teachings from divine, the council of elders, wisdom carriers, bridges, light workers, earth guardians, elementals and elements, Creator and Mother Earth.
We must cultivate a firm stand our our seeds, the children must be given all tools necessary for what is coming ahead, they must have strong roots to hold on to true life.
Abuela Carmen and myself had deep conversations about where we are currently as indigenous tribes in Costa Rica, what our greatest challenges are to preserve our relationship with Mother Earth.
The importance for women to continue cultivating the arts, plant wisdom, sacred fire, water rituals, language, songs, women are the ones leading the children into sacred life.
We laughed, we cried, we were in silence, we prayed, we dreamed.
Take a minute to SIGN, for WORLD PEACE.
Stay in touch!
We will be coming back with action items in our current communities of Costa Rica to support this prayer and securing our resources for the children to come. Please share your info so we can call you to the fire when it presents itself for a heart to heart conversation.
