First Course: Awakening Our Memory
The Four Planetary Elements
With Grandmother Maria Alice Campos Freire
Dear Keepers of Life,
I want to take a moment to invite you to our first teleseminar series- Awakening Our Memory. These courses are guided and governed by Nature. More and more we are all being called to be keepers of the sacred, to stand for the Earth, remember that we belong to Her and to walk in harmony with her Creation.
Grandmother Maria Alice will open your teachings on June 13th with offerings on the Four Planetary Elements and the sacred number ’13’ blessing these works! These four weeks will follow a different flow, allowing all of us to participate in the weavings of activities that enlist us on many levels. In this four-week course, Maria Alice Campos Freire will share some of the wealth of knowledge that she has gathered in a lifetime of connection with the plants and the enchanted beings of nature.
The week following the 13th, Grandmother Maria Alice and Grandmother Mona will be going to Rio 20 in Brazil, a very large gathering of over 20,000 people from all over the world that will be discussing and presenting different initiatives for the Earth. Their presence there is to once again make the statement that it is vital to all that our First Nation Peoples participate in these discussions. It is our hope that you all will hold prayers during this time and ignite the Fire of hope in those attending.
On June 27th, Grandmother Maria Alice will return with you for the second week of teachings to open your memories through the teachings of Water. As we flow into the teachings on July 3rd, the compassionate teachings of the Earth will invoke your memories just before those in the United States celebrate a day of independence. May our global awakening bring liberation to us all.
Finally, Grandmother Maria Alice will awaken our expressions of Air on July 11th and then fly off to join her Sister Grandmothers in prayers for unity and peace for all nations at the 11th International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers in Montana. The weavings of Nature bring you into a great march for this Earth. You are vital to the movement that is growing. The proceeds of these teachings are being given by Grandmother Maria Alice to the Grandmother’s Council to further their work in the world.
For the next 7 generations and beyond,

Marie Alicia Fire 1

The four planetary elements: fire, water, earth and air are the main foundations of our life. Our ancestors connected with them in that way. All the original peoples of the world have preserved similar knowledge about the elements and this knowledge guides all their understanding about life: balance and imbalance; sickness and health. Thus those foundations are the Heart of the ancient Medicine System and their healing practices. She will invite you to present some situations of your daily life, which need to be balanced, and she will invite you to study them under the perspective of the Elements Balance. As a caretaker of the patrimony of the Amazonian Traditional Medicine, her intention in this course is to help awaken your memory.
