Welcome to PULL TOGETHER NOW (PTN), a global family who accepts our sacred responsibility to care for peace, children, family, community, and Mother Earth before all else. We hold the long-view and strive to be the “Good Ancestors” children and The Future need us to be by pulling together for the well-being of all people and our only home, Earth. We’re lifting up the beauty within and around us, re-membering, renewing, and protecting our sacred connection and relationship with one another and our Mother, Earth. PTN creates opportunities for people to exchange ancient and new stories, share ceremonies, the arts, and relay living science, knowledge, know-how, and ideas relative to flourishing in kinship with the HomeGround and HomeWater we love. Good Ancestors are courageous, generous, and kind, leaving no one, no place, out or behind.

The Path We Walk begins inside each of us as we answer this fundamental question:
Is where we are headed and what we are doing serving peace and the perpetual well-being of our children and their children’s children, families, communities, sacred Water, Land, Air, and generations of other living beings?

PTN connects Good Ancestors through an ancient tradition with no end:

The Ancestors’ Relay >
Getting back to caring for peace, children, family, community,
and Mother Earth before all else!

We’re continuing ancestral traditions of carrying Ancestors’ Message Sticks across our homelands and oceans relaying gratitude for and protecting what holds us together:
> each other, our children, and all the communities of Life we belong to.
> sacred pure Water ─ above and below, healthy Air, Land, and Seeds; Real-Food and Medicine from Earth, family, and neighbors.
> ancient and new land-based living knowledge and know-how grounded in kinship with the Water and Land we love.
> ancient and new stories, songs, ceremonies, all the arts, imagination, humor, and love.

Good Ancestors:
> express gratitude; respect and protect ourselves, each other, and our Mother, Earth.
> nurture children with love ─ to be strong spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically ─ grounded with traditions, living knowledge, imagination, skills, and connection with the Water and Land Communities to which they belong.
> honor and protect our Elders and Knowledge-holders with relationship to Water, Land, and Community to care for all people.
> are open-hearted and see our interconnected challenges from diverse vantage points. We ask questions, learn, and relay knowledge, ideas, and dreams in ways that grow trust, connection, and care for spiritual, social, political, economic, and environmental well-being.
> transcend imaginary barriers for peace; help free the world from perpetual war, systems of domination, and greed ─ those vying for control over everyone and every place, intent on commodifying every expression of Life by any means.

The Ancestors’ Message Stick carries stories, seeds, gifts, and information of critical importance to all people. It represents humankind’s living memory with wisdom, experience, keen observation, and spiritual insights gained over long periods of time. The color purple reflects the blending of goodness in us that serves the well-being of all people and Mother Earth. We are filled with the power of survivors, ancestors who made our lives possible and whose love, sacrifice, creativity, and dreams we carry. Good Ancestors look back and forward across generations for Life-affirming guidance, inclusive of all Peoples without preference for any cultures, nationalities, spiritual traditions, status, age groups, or place on Earth. We honor the protocols of reciprocal relationship rooted in Natural Law, not the hierarchical law of man that perpetuates domination and destruction of Life.    

>Good Ancestors do not look away. Though we have witnessed and experienced atrocities and remember and tell it like it was, is, we’re also relaying what is happening now ─ how people are pulling together to story a “New-Now”, where people flourish with enough in peaceful, healthy homelands. True stories about how we’re turning this world around, face-to-face and place-to-place > NOW!
