Mission
World Council of Elders is an educational 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving and sharing authentic indigenous wisdom to honor, nurture and restore the balance of life on Earth. We are committed to help perpetuate the essence of indigenous cultures; their sacred teachings; spiritual ceremonies and traditional values essential for worldwide healing and sustainable living for future generations.
Vision
Our vision is of a world in which all people cherish and care for the Earth, one another, and all life. Toward fulfilling this vision, World Council of Elders brings together authentic indigenous Elders from around the world to share their sacred wisdom teachings and to counsel humanity toward restoring balance, honoring cultural diversity and promoting peace among all peoples.
Why Now?
We are living in a very special time of transformation and critical choices long-prophesied by the wisdom-keepers of the world’s indigenous cultures. Many of these Elders, who have carried the wisdom of their peoples for millennia, are now willing to share their ancient, yet timeless teachings to restore balance and preserve a sustainable future for our children.
