BILLION PERSON PRAYER BRINGS SNOW TO EUROPE
General Schwarzkopf Saluted by Olympians
ASCUTNEY, VT, March 26, 2007 - Following a billion praying to help heal our Earth Mother of the man-made part of the global warming starting on February 14 – US Valentines Day and New Years for many cultures – “She” responded! “We were blessed with snow storms in February that turned spring into winter so our European ski areas could open. Thank you, thank you,” reported French Princess Caroline Murat, Native Voices Foundation’s (NVF) Euro leader “of the Napoleon Tribe.”

“Snowsports and Winter Olympic lovers are empowered that by praying more together, we can further slow down the global warming and bring back the snows,” agreed the amazed organizers: Mary Ho, a China Olympic host as President of the China Millennium Council, Jan Roberts, Earth CharterUS President and delegate to UN Commission on Sustainable Development, scientist Sperry Andrews, director of Human Connection Institute of the Oneness Network, Olympic skier Suzy Chaffee, co-chair Sedona (AZ) based NVF, as well as supporters Ambassador Gil Robinson and Stanford’s Dick Enersen.
"Not so surprising since oral history tells us that our tribal ancestors (even the Pilgrims) influenced the weather. Indigenous Elders and others with the gift, as well as group meditation and prayers like ours, continue those practices," said Andrews.
At the DeBartolo Family Foundation Benefit in Tampa , Florida in late February, Olympians Naomi Lang (Karuk ice dancer), Chaffee and Andrews saluted General Schwarzkopf for helping plant the seed for Europe’s snowblessings, which also ended droughts in the Midwest and New England . In his 1999 letter to Telluride’s owners, the skiing General said, “It is entirely appropriate that Telski donate free skiing to members of the Ute Tribe. Native Americans were the original conservationists recognizing the impact of the environment and wildlife on the quality of life of human beings.”
As a result, the program snowballed to 70 ski areas, which inspired Elders in 10 states to help their ski areas (http://snow-riders.org/miracles/index.html), and the SnowSports Industries of America and Stanford University to partner with Elders around the world to help “Keep Winters Cool.” So when the IOC confirmed that Europe was having the warmest winter in 1,250 years, Woody Vaspra (Hawaiian-Chinese), fellow Viet Nam (pilot) Vet and athlete turned President of the World Council of Elders, graciously led the World Prayer so Native American youth and all youth have a chance to enjoy snowsports and the Winter Olympics.
“I'm glad Europe finally got its winter because snowmelt is vital to the cycles of life. The World Prayer showed us that when our Earth Family unites to express our love and appreciation to Mother Earth, we can help heal Her, as scientists now agree that the warming is primarily man-made. This buys us time for our long range sustainable practices to take affect. We need to continue these prayers for the whole planet, especially to help the Arctic Circle, Australia , Africa , and other regions in the future,” said Vaspra. “Following all traditions, please all join us in a Prayer of Gratitude for Europe ’s blessed snow,” he said.
"We thank you Creator (other Source) for helping us with our prayer to assist our Mother Earth. We have become quite aware of what we need to do to help ourselves. It is time now that we take on our responsibilities to honor and care for our wonderful planet. We are working very hard to reunite as One Family. Again, we thank you for giving us your love, your help and your trust to retake our responsibilities."

Aspen (Ascutney…) hosts an annual Ute Snow Gratitude Ceremony on April 14th, during Closing Weekend, which does wonders for conditions and continuing their abundant snows. As water, proven by photographs of snow crystals in Dr Emoto’s NY Times Bestseller, “Messages from Water,” is a living organism, like Mother Earth. “They respond like our loved ones to prayer, appreciation and positive thinking,” said Marie Pascale, a “Conversations with God” facilitator.
“We are grateful to each person who joined the Earth Prayer and now the Gratitude Prayer. And to our other network leaders: Apache Elder Valerie Nunez, Abenaki Chief Nancy Lyons and Rick Hunt, Yellowbird’s Earthdance 8 in Peru, as well as the DeBartolos, Kit and Calvert Collins Foundation, for also helping make this breakthrough possible,” said Chaffee.
“Thank you all for your warrior courage and spirit of light to inform our Earth Family that prayer can veer us off this road to extinction,” said Flordemayo (Mayan) of the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers from the Arctic Circle to the Amazon. “In unity we can pass on something we can be proud of to our youth of tomorrow.”
"Finally collective consciousness, based on quantum physics, is being factored into the Global Cooling Solution," applauded Roberts and Andrews.
“The World Council of Elders and NVF, both 501(c)3 Colorado non-profits, are seeking supporters to assist the Elders with expenses to also step up leading earth healing ceremonies at sacred sites around the world," said Vaspra. The mission of NVF's partnership of US Tribal leaders, Elders and Olympians is "to create joyful unity through sports and education to help heal Mother Earth for all our children."
