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” our sacred children and future generations of Life need us to be. From the 4-Directions, we are returning to our ancestral roots ─ re-membering, renewing, and protecting our sacred connection and relationship with each other and our Mother, Earth ─ our only home. Together, with spirits, hearts, minds, and bodies as one, Good Ancestors are transcending cultural, social, political, geographical, and other imaginary boundaries for the peaceful, healthy, equitable world we know is possible and The Future deserves.

PTN creates opportunities to gather with radical gratitude for what holds us together where we live, work, play, and pray:  ancient and new stories, songs, ceremonies, living knowledge and know-how, the arts, Creator’s real food, and the sacred Water and Land we belong to, protect, and love.
Our collaborations honor, connect, and lift up Good Ancestors where we live and beyond. We’re celebrating the beauty within and around us, sharing and applying our collective energy, talents, and gifts in ways that broaden horizons, seed trust, and help us pull together to restore balance with compassion, courage, respect, and humor. Good Ancestors leave no one, no place, out or behind.

Navigating the Path We Walk begins inside each of us with this fundamental question:
How are we caring for peace, ourselves, and the enduring well-being of our children, their children’s children, families, communities, sacred Water, Land, Fire, Air, and generations of other living beings?

Good Ancestors do not look away.
We have witnessed and experienced atrocities and remember and tell it like it was, and is. We prioritize strengthening relationships by listening to each other, and respecting and working with land-based knowledge holders across the homelands and water we belong to, protect, and love. We are re-membering how to care for peace and place and one another, now, and forever.

PTN invites you, your family, and friends to join 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 are carrying our Ancestors’ Message Sticks across homelands and oceans, honoring and defending what matters most:
> each other, our children, and all the communities of Life we belong to. Nurturing children with love to be strong spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Preserving and exchanging ancestral traditions, wisdom, living knowledge and know-how, seeds, and imagination required to be resilient and thrive together with dignity and enough ─ in harmony with the rest of Nature ─  now and forever. Honoring and protecting Elders and Knowledge-holders with the relationship to sacred Water, Land, and Community to care for all people.
> our relationship with The Web of Life: protecting and fairly sharing pure sacred Water, healthy Air, Land, Fire, Seeds, Food, and Medicine from Mother Earth, and all forms of Life.
> transcending imaginary barriers to free the world from systems of domination and greed driving perpetual war, genocide, ecocide, and “artificial intelligence”; predators vying for power over everyone and every place, intent on commodifying every expression of Life by any means.

The Ancestors’ Message Stick carries stories, information of critical importance to all people, seeds, gifts, and… 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 beauty and goodness in and around 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.
