Photo: The 13 Grandmothers
It takes five interpreters for the Council of 13 Grandmothers to speak. They come from indigenous tribes from the world over. A few years back I had the deep honor of hearing the Chairwoman, Agnes Pilgrim, speak at a Natural Way event here in Portland, Oregon. It is hard to describe the power of this experience. My heart, spirit, and soul were deeply touched.
Grandma Aggie will now be returning to speak again at a Natural Way event on Friday, February 12th from 7-9pm at the First Unitarian Church located on SW Main and 12th in Portland.

We know that just because you're gray-headed, you don't need to go to pasture... I have visions of women all over the world empowering themselves and holding prestigious roles. Women are natural nurturers and they will step forward all over the world. And it's happening. More over, men. It is time for the natural nurturers to get this world back in balance.
