Tuesday, May 12 at 7:00 PM | In Person | Boulder County
The Boulder County chapter hosts a screening of a beautiful 20-minute film about the traditional prayer, “Words Before All Else,” which is central to the spiritual and cultural beliefs of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee (also known as the Iroquois). Their daily prayer gives thanks to Mother Earth, Elder Brother Sun, Grandmother Moon, water, animals, plants, and all other living things. Stay for a talk after the screening with Martin Ogle, founder of Geo Sapiens. This film interpretation was produced by Dave Bowden of the Sustainable Media Network, also CRES’s 2004 president.

This event is in person at the Jefferson Unitarian Church in Golden with a livestream option available. Vertical Divider
