SHASTA, Calif. &#8211; Feb. 12 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; With Europe&#8217;s warmest winter in 1,250 years putting the Winter Olympics at risk, a group representing over a billion are inviting our Earth Family to join in prayer, dance, and celebration this month of our unified love of our Mother Earth, starting Valentine&#8217;s Day (Feb 14). &#8220;This expands on Americans celebrating our sweethearts on Valentine&#8217;s Day, and unites with this month&#8217;s Lunar New Year&#8217;s celebrations and prayers of Asian and global faith communities,&#8221; according to Mary Ho, President of the China Millennium Council, and Olympic skier, Suzy Chaffee, Native Voices Foundation (NVF) co-chair.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/07-0212-NVF_72dpi.jpg\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"20\" alt=\"(c) Send2Press\" \/>In December, NVF learned about &#8220;Europe&#8217;s catastrophic weather,&#8221; (following many Arctic Villagers losing way of life), through French Princess Caroline Murat, a NVF advisor. The call came just as Chaffee finished documenting a Dozen Snow, Rain &#038; Temperature Miracles by American Indian Elders at US Ski Areas on: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snow-riders.org\/miracles\/index.html\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">snow-riders.org\/miracles\/index.html<\/a>. The press proof was requested by climate leaders of the American Indian Nations and Stanford University, who are also seeking collaborative solutions with Elders. <\/p>\n<p> A copy of the prayer can be viewed as an 800&#215;600 pixel 72dpi gif image, here:<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/07-0212-NVF-Send2Press.gif\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">send2press.com\/wire\/images\/07-0212-NVF-Send2Press.gif<\/a><\/p>\n<p> On hearing from the IOC that most of their European World Cup Races have been canceled, Woody Vaspra (Hawaiian-Chinese), President of the World Council of Elders in almost every country, magnanimously offered the assistance of the Council&#8217;s Indigenous Elders to step up ceremonies around the world to help heal and rebalance Earth&#8217;s man-made part of the global warming. A former pro football and baseball star, Vaspra&#8217;s effort is to help enhance the healthy future of Snow Sports and the Winter Olympics, also at the urging of the Native American Olympic Ski and Snowboard Team. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Our indigenous peoples share a similar language and spirituality as the Navajo and can understand each other,&#8221; said Mary Ho, a skier and member of the Clinton Global Initiative Team. She also wants to fortify their 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. <\/p>\n<p> Vaspra formerly served on an International Committee Studying the Affects on Global Warming. Fellow NVF Advisor, HRH Prince Albert of Monaco, IOC member and Lakota adoptee, led a North Pole expedition last summer to raise awareness about Global Warming. Vice President Gore then suggested in his &#8220;Inconvenient Truth,&#8221; to also pray. The Oscar nominee supports the Carbon Offsets of NativeEnergy.com\/NativeWind.org, a sponsor of the Native American Olympic Bid and Team.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;To support the Elders ceremonies, our group that includes Jan Roberts, President of the (UN) Earth Charter US with 2,500 organizations, is globally distributing the following Prayer via press, e-mail, and soon on the Internet&#8217;s &#8216;You Tube.&#8217; With unified focus, Oneness scientists and Elders agree we can make a powerful difference toward restoring the natural balance of the Earth&#8217;s Climate,&#8221; assures Chaffee. She witnessed 10 years of priceless Elders&#8217; weather miracles, including before the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, in appreciation to 60 ski areas inviting nearby tribes home to ski and snowboard.<\/p>\n<p> PRAYER SUPPORTERS SAY<br \/> &#8220;A group of our (UN) Earth Charter US members opened an event with the Elders&#8217; Prayer two weeks ago, and were delighted to hear that Europeans were blessed with some snow,&#8221; said Jan Roberts, EC President. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Indigenous Elders are Mother Earth&#8217;s wisest caretakers and still know how to talk to Her,&#8221; said Sperry Andrews. Director of the Human Connection Institute, Sperry and other eminent scientists, physicists, avatars of India, the Oneness University, are part of 100 million practicing Oneness Consciousness. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Adopting sustainable practices is the long term solution. The Elders&#8217; ceremonies and our prayers are the most timely way to slow down global warming,&#8221; said Kerrie Wilson, founder of Phoenixvoyage. (See upcoming US Cirque de Soleil-like fun Sustainability Ed events).<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We want to create more harmony between our cultures and Mother Earth,&#8221; said Eddy Box Jr (S. Ute Elder), whose four generations helped save Vail from snow droughts since 1963. (Covered on CBS&#8217;s Huntley-Brinkley Report).<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The World Council of Elders and NVF, both 501(c)(3) Colorado non-profits, are seeking supporters to assist the Elders with expenses (only) for these on-going ceremonies,&#8221; said Vaspra. The mission of NVF&#8217;s partnership of US Tribal leaders, Elders and Olympians is &#8220;to create joyful unity through sports and education to help heal Mother Earth for all our children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> More information about NVF: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nativevoices.org\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">www.nativevoices.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <small>Text provided by the news source.
