I am in a position to say with
100% certainty that I would recommend this workshop and any other that Rolf is
going to be hosting to anyone. I would even go one step further and say that I
would encourage everyone to get signed up, because workshops like this do not
come around everyday. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank
Rolf for a most stimulating experience and would be honored to attend another
workshop of his in the future!!!!!
Byron Louie Economic Development - Williams Lake Indian Band
I enjoyed Rolf. I mean “what an awakening”. I have never been to a workshop that was so riveting and exciting. I totally have a new respect for business and how business should be managed and approached. I can hardly wait to get started. Rolf is very energetic, humorous and intelligent. What an awesome experience. (Shift is happening) Glen Worthington – Development Corp CEO – Dease River First Nation BC

Global Love Day
Thanks to you, we are gaining incredible momentum and awareness sharing unconditional love and celebrating our humanity. Here is a brief summary and overview:
The Day
It is our vision to unite one and all in a celebration of love and compassion. We honor each May 1st as a symbolic day of unconditional love and call upon all people and all nations to gather together in the wisdom of peace and love. Global Love Day is the universal recognition of our innate oneness through love. When we come from this limitless love, we naturally and easily embrace ourselves and our fellow humanity. Opening our heart, we allow unconditional love to be our guide and compassion to be our gift to life. We invite you to celebrate with us by consciously focusing on love and what it means to you throughout this day. We hope that by practicing love in all areas of your life, you will find it easy to love unconditionally all year long.
Our main theme explains it best… “Love Begins With Me”
What I Can Do
Simply be love. Let the love within your heart be the focus of your awareness throughout the day. Allow yourself to be accepting, forgiving, peaceful, joyful and in harmony with yourself and all life around you. Just be! Allowing unconditional love to be your primary intention is the main idea, and if you find yourself also wanting to actually “do” something loving or share the day with others, we have provided some initial ideas on our site of how you may approach the day. We encourage you to come up with your own inspired, creative ideas and expressions and also share them with us. For more information, visit www.thelovefoundation.com or www.globalloveday.com
Around the World
We launched this program in December 2003 for our first celebration on May 1, 2004 and already we have connected with people in over 136 countries. We hear daily from so many of you supporting this vision and through your kind efforts, our flyer is now translated into 35 languages. You have shown us that this simple idea is one whose time has come.
Send your art, essay and/or poetry submission for our seventh annual Art, Essay and Poetry Invitational held in conjunction with Global Love Day each year. Visit our site for guidelines and more information.
Some Updates and Collaborations
Danish Ahmed has kindly offered his inspirational Love Movie with a link to Global Love Day. Please enjoy and also share http://ordinarywords.com/love/ Several music artists have offered their songs of love for us to incorporate into the day. Some of the events in the works; Tam is creating a music festival in Seattle this year, Rick is hosting a get-together in Minneapolis, Raphael is putting together an event in Abuja, Chris plans to have a dance party in London, Falguni is gathering her friends in San Francisco, Jana is spreading the love in Montana, Miss Mellie Rainbow will be appearing at Hue-Man bookstore in New York City, and many more to come.
This is an easy and awesome way to participate by sharing Global Love Day with your friends. And brand new for us this year, we are developing a virtual Global Love Day event on Second Life! We welcome you to join us this May 1st in whatever way you are inspired to share the love that you are.
Be a part of it. Spread the word.
Love, light and peace,

Heal the Waters Ceremony
Worldwide Event
Sundown (in your place in the world)
On this day the world will come together and recognize the importance of water to all of life– to honor it, to heal it, and to be more conscious of how we interact with it. We invite you to become a part of this world-wide event. Check our list of ceremony sites, or consider leading a ceremony yourself.
We chose May 1st since it is May Day. It’s a play on words— “Mayday!” is a distress signal used when there was a life-threatening emergency at hand. Our waters are in a state of emergency and it’s time for us to take action and save our waters!

The Indian Creek Band Chickamauga Cherokee Inc. (www.chickamaugacherokee.org) of Deltona, Florida in conjunction with the Green Dot for Earth (www.greendotforearth.org) will be having a gathering at the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool Area beginning at 9:30A.M in an attempt to draw attention to the fact that many mixed blood Cherokees and the Cherokee Freedmen have been denied their rights and freedoms by the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.
The CNO continually denies that many of us even exist by saying that ALL Cherokees walked the Trail of Tears during the forced removal of our people by the United States Government. Even history proclaims that many Cherokees his in the mountains and valleys to escape that dreadful time in our history as a race of people. During this period many tribes joined together forming the Chickamauga Confederacy such as the Shawnee, Chickasaw, Choctaw and Cherokee in an attempt to regain the lands that were sold by a few Cherokee citizens who did not have the authority to do so.
At that time there was a law amongst the Cherokee that if one sold land to the whites that it was punishable by death and even that law was carried out when members of the Ridge Family were killed for what they had done. We are not trying to usurp any of the funding that currently is given to the three recognized tribes of the Cherokee but we are after the Recognition that is due us and that is that we are Cherokee the same as any Cherokee that currently lives on any reservation or is a member of any Federal Recognized Tribe. We have been ostracized by those tribes because we fought on for what was taken from us and now the CNO would attempt to strip us of even being able to say that we are Cherokee when may of us have more Native American Blood flowing through our veins than some of those that are on the Rolls that the BIA goes by. I am not saying that anyone having ¼ Indian Blood is anymore Indian that someone who only has 1/8 Indian Blood, but I do believe just like Dragging Canoe said ‘That if you have one drop of Cherokee Blood, then you are Cherokee through and through.
If anyone desires more information on this march, please contact Jean McKillip at no_moccasin_woman@yahoo.com or Director Terry Nichols of the Green Dot for Earth at TINICHOLS@mail.com or myself Kermit Manis at peacefuleagle@embarqmail.com.
We are seeking all those that will march with us on this monumental occasion to meet us there on that date.
Wado,
Kermit ‘Peaceful Eagle’ Manis, Wild Potato Clan Chief of The Indian Creek Band Chickamauga Cherokee, Inc.
