The Prophecy of the White Buffalo has been preserved by the Magaska Ptesan Wicoti, Hinhan Wicasa Oyate for over 160 years.

Chief Phil Lane of the Four Worlds International Institute describes this ancient prophecy.

Wallace Black Elk emphasized that humans are inherently born with love, kindness, generosity, and a giving spirit. Connie Baxter Marlow, author of "Walking in Trust: Radical Childrearing," highlighted trust as fundamental to harmonious living and a new way of being. She asserted that each child inherently knows their path, advocating trust in a loving universe.

This philosophy aligns with a Native American approach to discovery, urging individuals to listen to circumstances and observe signs. Themes of healing separation and courage were also central to their discussion. These insights were shared by Wallace Black Elk, Connie Baxter Marlow, and Sally Ranney in Aspen, Colorado, on July 13, 1998, as excerpts from "REALITY CHECK!"

Wallace Black Elk teaches that doubt separates us from the Creator, shaping our reality. He advocates understanding nature's elements and for humanity to unite, restoring universal telepathic language.

His insights, titled "Trust Brings Freedom 2 of 2," are available here.

Sally Ranney further explores "The Trust Frequency," a concept developed over 15 years in close association with Black Elk and other visionary elders. For more information, visit TheTrustFrequency.net.

Agriculture accounts for nearly 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with over half originating from meat and dairy production. Our food choices profoundly impact climate, habitat, water use, and wildlife. Adopting more plant-based foods and less meat can significantly reduce diet-related emissions, conserve land and water, and help mitigate the extinction crisis.

This week’s discussion will focus on shifting towards sustainable, Earth-friendly diets. Topics include new research on the climate impact of American diets, strategies for dietary change, how individual choices influence food policy, and why grass-fed beef isn't a complete solution. The event features Jennifer Molidor, Stephanie Feldstein, and a vegan cooking demonstration by J.P. Rose.
