THERE IS A
RIVER FLOWING NOW, VERY FAST:
The 13 Indigenous Grandmothers
The Mayan 2012 Prophecies
and Pittsburgh's Connection to Both
Miracles
have converged to bring to Pittsburgh two
prophetic voices addressing the needs of
this historic moment that we are living in
as we approach 2012 -- a sacred call to turn
away from destruction and towards world
unity. It is an honor and a blessing to have
two elders travel to our city for a special
evening program:
Mayan elder Flordemayo,
one of the grandmothers of the International
Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, will
speak about their work to bring peace to the
world and "light the way through an
uncertain future." Born on the
Nicaragua/Honduras border, she is a healer/curandera
living in New Mexico, and founder of the
Institute of Natural and Traditional
Knowledge.
Quiche Mayan High
Priest Don Alejandro Oxlaj is the
primary keeper of the teachings, visions and
prophecies of the Mayan people, day keeper
of the Mayan calendar, and head of the
National Mayan Council of Elders of
Guatemala. He will speak on Pittsburgh's
role in the Mayan prophecies of 2012.
Also speaking at this
evening program will be award-winning
New York filmmaker Carole Hart, who
is documenting these historic voices in her
film For the Next Seven Generations: The
Grandmothers Speak.
We invite you to be a part
of this momentous event!

RiverBeat --
Pittsburgh’s Fourth Annual
Interactive Hand-Drumming Cruise
"Three
Rivers, One Rhythm" -- Sunday,
September 30
Every year, a rich tapestry of rhythm,
self-expression and sheer joy unfolds on the
rivers of Pittsburgh when hundreds of people
converge for RiverBeat, the city's only
interactive hand-drumming cruise. This novel
take on community drum circles attracts a
larger audience, wider media coverage and
more buzz each year. Why? It's a low-cost,
family-oriented, "hands-on" and contagiously
fun afternoon on the water that celebrates
the beauty of the human spirit and healing
power of recreational music making -- all while
appreciating one of Pittsburgh's greatest
assets: our three rivers.
In 2006, nearly 400 people ages 4 to 94,
from all walks of life, from as far away as
Michigan, New Jersey and New York, and from
African and Irish to Middle-Eastern and
Native American cultures, joined in a
magical afternoon of exhilarating rhythm on
Pittsburgh's rivers. We also extended a hand
to children in several city schools and
offered free tickets to students so at-risk
kids could experience the power of drumming
and how it builds confidence and
self-esteem. Furthermore, several Pittsburgh
families who have children recovering from
cancer attended RiverBeat. There are no
words to describe the beauty of seeing these
kids' faces while making music with hundreds
of others on board that day!
No drumming or music skills are necessary
to attend; we even provide drums for our
"cruisers" to use. If you haven't
experienced RiverBeat yet, make this your
year to do so!
COLLABORATE WITH US IN 2008!
If you love RiverBeat and would like to see
it continue, let us know! We are NOW
actively seeking corporate sponsors and
private donations to not only help cover
event costs and keep the ticket price
reasonable, but also to continue to bring it
to a wider audience through ticket
underwriting and on-board programming. We'd
love to collaborate with anyone who shares
our mission of inspiring others through
recreational music making! If interested,
contact Gina at 724.316.4751.

The True Power of Water: A Talk
by Dr. Emoto
Pittsburgh
was introduced in 2005 to the revolutionary
work of internationally renowned Japanese scientist
Dr. Masaru Emoto, whose research shows how
water molecules are affected by thoughts, words
and feelings. More than 400 people from across
PA, Ohio, Michigan and New York came to hear
Dr. Emoto's findings as they relate to personal
health and renewal of the planet.
The
serendipitous timing of this talk made Dr.
Emoto's message especially relevant, as the
world had just experienced several international
disasters related to water: the Asian tsunami
and hurricanes Katrina and Rita. He offered
possible solutions for circumventing tragic
natural disasters such as these by demonstrating,
through scientific research, how our thoughts
and feelings affect physical reality.

“The Emoto talk is a day I will always remember with warmth and smiling. The energy and beauty with which we all came together is a bright and very shining thing. Thanks to Epiphany Works for having the foresight and talent to bring the doctor here. We are all indebted to you.”
City of Alchemy: From
Steel to Gold
Surrounded
by the Frick Fine Arts Building's gorgeous Florentine Renaissance
art, a cross-section of Pittsburghers joined in an intimate
conversation about the soul intelligence required to heal
the earth and reconnect us with our core power centers. Led
by renowned energy healer Edemir Rossi of Curitiba, Brazil,
the evening focused on the energies that Pittsburgh was founded
upon and continues to be: a region with powerful alchemical
properties. Musicians Life in Balance infused the evening's
deep messages with high vibration sound healing
Pittsburgh's Festival of
Consciousness
The purpose of the Fest -- held at LaRoche College in fall 2002 and Robin Hill Mansion in Spring 2002 and Fall 2001
-- was to create a means for the personal exploration of mind-body-spirit wellness and conscious living. Our practitioners and professionals represented a dynamic mix of the area's abundant healthy living resources. This event drew hundreds of people from western PA and beyond, and was featured on WQED-TV, a PBS affiliate.
"This is a festival in the truest sense: a celebration of soul and light! Finally, Pittsburgh has a comfortable escape into the soul."
"At the Festival of Consciousness, the energy is electric, the connections are valuable and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming."
"The Fest provides a more intimate and appropriate setting than most expos, which facilitates wonderful conversations and allows participants to relate to one another."
