Kinship Return
Inspired - Inspired - the breath giving - by Indigenous Elder Guardians, the reciprocal elevation vision of the Butterfly Effect Fund and the political paradigm leaping of IsWe, and with inspiration from many others in our vision field we are moved to call in a gathering for a journey of Kinship Return in Wales as we enter the Shiva Shakti (masculine/feminine) union times of Beltane in the Northern Hemisphere.
With great humility and honour we invite you to a one heart calling place.
Trefacwn, Pembrokeshire, West Wales

We gather in recognition, respect and reverence of the ancestors, the waters, lands, medicines and beyond human people of the lineages of the direction of the north, north west, and neo west so that peoples of these directions are strengthened in heart for repairing kinship worldviews for returning and reconciling with the human family as peoples of four directions and returning and reconciling to the spirit of Ummune - children of one mother of mother Afrika and mother earth all for our great journey to repair the waters of life.
Our Welsh/Cymry kin are considered as having the oldest continuous DNA in Britain also holding the earliest homo sapiens remains found in Western Europe. Welsh is one of the oldest living languages in Europe and in its deeply poetic cosmology we learn of the spiritual significance of its gold and dragon lines and how they weave the power of sovereignty and vitality. This is why we choose to “return” with Kin making hearts upon the sacred lands of Wales.
And….“Thirty-two years ago the study of the DNA of living humans helped establish that we all share a family tree and a primordial migration story: All people outside Africa are descended from ancestors who left that continent more than 60,000 years ago. About 45,000 years ago, those first modern humans ventured into Europe, having made their way up through the Middle East” National Geographic, August 2019.
We left our mother lands and we travelled in the four directions of East, South, North and West. We recognise that we are all the grandchildren of Indigenous Grandmothers of the four directions. With pluriversal medicine ways, songlines and cosmologies (creation stories). We deeply honour one another's lineage her/histories. We recognise we are also - Ummune - an Igbo Nigerian word for children of the same mother.
We call upon us as:
grandchildren of the great great great grandmother void
grandchildren of grandmother waters
grandchildren of Mother Africa
grandchildren of the grandmothers of four directions
children of mother earth. One mother. One Love.
Upon this invocation, we gather as Kin, to recover, repair and liberate our life power in our ancient African principles of Sankofa - go back and fetch it - an act of rematriation and Serudj-ta - to repair and heal the world making it more beautiful than it was before.
We come together as an act of deep decolonisation and collective liberation - Co Liberation to weave our golden threads of spirit and matter that activate our capacity to return with respect, reverence and reciprocity to the sacred circle of life. To weave that one garment of destiny that ancestor Martin Luther King pointed us towards. One golden web of life, glistening in constellation, humming in murmuration and radiating in mycelium.
We come to create an Island of Coherence - of sanity, sanctity and sanctuary. To learn what deep interconnectedness and interrelatedness might hold for mapping our way towards becoming human healing forces that interrupt cycles of harm by renewing cycles of love, to practice a moment of unrestrained, unconditional and radical generosity for waters, lands, beyond human kin and each other - the sacred truth of inseparability and abundance - the be-longing of kinship.
We gather to prepare for the possibility of a sacred journey in October to the cradle of humanity and its nucleus for earth heart repairs. For this, we will be invited into practices of reparations and repairings of listening for our ancestral future and to hear sacred instructions - our global prayer map and vision - a cosmogram for healing earth’s water ways.
Above all we intend for a revolutionary and evolutionary moment for the liberation of our heart’s capacity to love. To be-loved and be-longed back into our soul power, our truth power and love power for our true inheritance and legacy of beauty making upon earth.
Kun Fa Ya Kun, Ashe, Aho, Awen.
