Ceremony and right action belong together

Please join us as we gather with the intention of focusing our collective efforts on building a peaceful, inclusive, harmonious, compassionate, loving, abundant world for ourselves and the generations to come.

Peace in oneself, peace in the world.
— Thich Nhat Hanh

As we dedicate ourselves to cultivating inner peace, we are being of service to our own well-being and therefore the well-being of our families, communities, and the world. In this critical moment within our Collective EVOLutionary journey, it is imperative to devote ourselves to ‘being the peace we wish to see in the world.”

War is a failure of our moral imagination.
— Bernard Lafayette

We recognize the energetic differences between “anti-war” and PRO PEACE. Through practices like breath work, mindfulness meditation, and sound healing, we choose to IMAGINE PEACE. We hold the vision of a new world birthing itself from the ashes of the old.

No prior meditation experience necessary. Come as you are! Your PEACE matters!

In LOVE, PEACE, and SOLIDARITY with all sentient life,

Heather Elizabeth, Founder and Steward of SHINE and the IMAGINE PEACE Promise Alliance

The IMAGINE PEACE Promise Alliance invites you to gather in Beloved Community to CELEBRATE

the Day Out of Time!

Day Out of Time is an annual celebration that is recognized in over 99 countries, always occurring on July 25th. It signifies the end of a 13 Moon year: a time for wiping the slate clean through ceremony, celebration, creativity, and community. You can think of it as the New Year’s Eve of the Galactic Year which always begins on July 26th!

It is a time of grand reset and an opportunity to recommit ourselves to the path of peace builders.

The Day Out of Time is rooted in the Mayan 13 Moon Dreamspell technology which is a map for realigning human consciousness with the consciousness of the Earth and the Cosmos. Through this alignment, we are able to feel and be greater harmony for ourselves, our families, communities, and the world. This path opens us up to a consistent experience of synchronicity and therefore an embodied awareness of the interconnectedness and interdependence that is our true nature.

Here in Austin we are celebrating the Day Out of Time at the AMAZING 1972 pub! You can expect incredible live music from Shamanacana, poetry, art, and community!

70’s attire (think Cosmic Disco!) is strongly encouraged, yet not required!

Needless to say, this year has been incredibly challenging and heartbreaking in a multitude of ways…we recognize that the road to peace, justice, and equality requires a marathon, not a sprint. Our shared vision for building a world that honors the inherent dignity and worth of all sentient life is amplified when we gather together in Beloved Community, and never forget…

RADICAL JOY IS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE!

We look forward to celebrating with you!

In Lak’ech (I AM another yourSelf),

Ceremony and Right Action Belong Together

A profound clarion call that has emerged from the healing work of the IMAGINE PEACE Promise Alliance is a way of being of service known as ceremonial 'grid work'. Grid work can be defined as a compassionate connection with the cellular memories held in the land where monumental events in history which have had a significant impact on human EVOLution occurred. 

Ceremonial Grid Work is an experience of merging the timelines of the past and present to consciously co create a future that is PEACEFUL, LOVING, COMPASSIONATE, INCLUSIVE, JUST, and PROSPEROUS for all sentient life. WE hold this healing space through inter spiritual prayer/meditation, poetry, music, and offering reverence to the land.

This particular aspect of our service work is illuminated by the codes of the Natural Time sequence-specifically the Mayan Time Science Technology (cycle of 52 years) and the Chinese Lunar calendar (cycle of 60 years). Natural time is a map for living harmoniously with ourselves and all of creation.

From this lens, we are called to visit various places across the United States to provide healing-specifically in the spirit of repair and a fierce passion to shift the tides of history for ourselves and the seven generations, as prophesied by the Original Peoples of Turtle Island, now known as the United States of America…

The 60 year cycle signals a time of coming full circle…both an ending and a beginning. August 1st, 1966 marked the first mass shooting on a school campus and any public civilian space in the U.S. It occurred on the grounds of the University of Texas in Austin. Since then, there have been countless mass shootings across the U.S. while the attempts at gun reform and access to mental health support are continuously attacked, especially in Texas.

Violence is an epidemic. Truth-telling, community-building, healing, and an embodiment of reverence for life are remedies.

Please join us as we honor this pivotal moment in history and recommit ourselves to eradicating violence in all of its forms.

In LOVE, PEACE, and SOLIDARITY,

The IMAGINE PEACE Promise Alliance
