Response to discussion on internet forum

Dear all, as an admin of this page I would like to respond to comments on the discussion board called New Age Fraud http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=3754.0 , on which there was started a discussion about project we did in Scotland and England in summer 2012. First of all nobody from this site contacted organisers to get answers on their questions and doubts , instead of posting a question on internet discussion forum and searching answer from people who were not involved in these events and didn't know our guests. We invited people who are elders in their communities and were willing to share their ceremonies, knowledge and spiritual paths with people in Europe. Authencity of their descent was questioned on this forum - and it takes a bit more than internet research to understand that there are many people in USA who are not of purely Native American tribes origins , same like we would like to find a 'pure' european person. For us, as organisers this wasn't the factor to co-operate in summer but more what we can co-create and exchange on level of culture and spirtituality. Funds that we were raising were ONLY to cover costs connected to this project - as we didn't have any budget for this. All our work was unpaid. From these event we have gained an experience of connecting people in our communities and a chance to listen to pepole of other culture. We continue a wise tradtion of holding circles for women , men and also mixed one (in preparation). It is sad for me to read this post and not being invited to a fair dialog about it. Sadening that forums like this exist. Patrycja Art email all the time active: eldersvisitinguk@gmail.com
