The main event at the Grand Indigenous Ceremony will be held at the Otomí Ceremonial Center
in Temoaya, State of México, Otomí Nation, at 12 noon local Mexican time on March 21, 2009, when the Elder Sages, Spiritual
Guides and Guardians of the sacred Otomí and Indigenous Drums will appear and play their Sacred Drums to the Four Directions
of Mother Earth, thereby attaining unity in diversity and communally receiving the Healing Energy of the Great Spirit and
the Cosmos. It will be a marvelous blessing to all of us who are able to come together at this Celebration of Peace and Dignity
in honor of Our Ancestors.

is imperative that you contact us quickly, register and let us know how many Sacred Drums will be taking part in the Grand
Ceremony of 8,000 Sacred Drums to Cure Mother Earth and Ensure Life and Peace. We ask you to register as soon as possible.

Taking Part from your Home Countries.
Another way of participating in this Indigenous Ceremony is to meet with your Sacred Drums
and the drum of your heart at some Sacred Place in any region or country on the planet. If you do this, we still ask that
you inform us as soon as possible, register your drums and let us know how many people will be taking part from their home
areas so that we can make the connection and know how many drums are contributing to the Sound of the 8,000 Sacred Drums.
Your Offering for the Earth, Peace and Life.
We are appealing to the generosity of your heart to help humankind. This Grand Indigenous
Ceremony of Cosmic Harmony will lift up our prayers. We would also be grateful for your donations and offerings to Dänguu
Mfädi “Mähki ’Ñuu” (the Grand House of Otomí Knowledge) and the International Indigenous University; your
collaboration will help support this sacred work guided by the Great Spirit, with the blessing of our Elders, to further the
revival of our Ancestral Wisdom.
Important. We are contacting our Indigenous Brothers and Sisters from all Traditions on the Planet that would like to take part
in the Ceremony to be held on March 21, 2009, at the Otomí Ceremonial Center by bringing their Sacred Drums to let them know
that as we are making every effort to offer them the best service, we are also asking them to register and obtain confirmation
and plan to cover their own expenses for lodging, food, transportation and any other needs.
