Pegi Eyers was a guest teacher for European Roots, a virtual circle hosted by Katrina Coravos from Fall 2020 to Spring 2021. "Who were the original peoples of Europe? Our textbooks often refer to them as heathens, and barbarians. The history books will tell us that the conquering of these peoples, and these ways, was in the name of religion, and the betterment of all of humanity. We are in a time to remember who we are. Knowing thyself, has been a cornerstone of most wisdom teachings throughout time. And, as European descended people, most of us do not know where we have come from, who our ancestors are, who are our people, what our traditions are. To know where we come from, gives vision for where we are to go. Without this knowledge, our root systems are not intact, our memory, and our connection with our ancestors is severed. And for many European descended people, there is a search and a quest to find a sense of spirituality, a sense of connection with the Earth and with all living beings."

In 2018, my collaboration "Worldviews with Ancient Roots and Modern Understanding" was accepted from hundreds of submissions by the Parliament of the World's Religions! To present at this global event at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre with Dr. Susana Bustos, Minaachimo-Kwe, and Dr. Sharon Mijares was an incredible opportunity. I also offered a book signing and author meet-and-greet as a vendor through Queen Books within the World Marketplace, and gave a presentation with my matrifocal/labyrinth art at the Red Tent-hosted event "Spirit Soaring: Women's Art Salon." The most diverse interfaith event on the planet marked its 125-year anniversary, by bringing together leaders and followers of more than 118 spiritual and secular traditions to pursue "global understanding, reconciliation, and change” in the world’s most culturally diverse city. In total, 8,324 individuals from 81 countries participated in the Toronto Parliament. Enjoy the slideshow!SLIDESHOW |

Durham Pagan Pride Day was a huge success for Ancient Spirit Rising~! Situated in a beautiful park on the shores of Lake Ontario, this annual outdoor gathering was a great opportunity to discover local businesses, authors and artisans, network with fellow Pagans, attend rituals and workshops, make music and celebrate the harvest at Lammas. Pagan Pride Day is a chance to learn more about the Durham Pagan community, and a wide diversity of beliefs and practices.

Pegi Eyers participated as a sponsor and vendor with Ancient Spirit Rising at the 10th Annual EcoHealth Conference, Fleming College, Lindsay, Ontario. It was a rewarding day to meet old friends and make new ones; connect with students, teachers, environmental activists, First Nations wisdom keepers and ecology panelists; and a great opportunity to network with keynote speaker Diana Beresford-Kroeger.
Our mission is to inform and enlighten attendees about the many ways our generation is working to change the approach to viewing and interacting with the natural world. Through hands-on workshops, poster presentations and various exhibits, we inspire attendees to implement truly 'green' solutions in their everyday lives. With an Indigenous infused perspective, our conference aims to motivate students, colleagues, and community members to view our relationship with Planet Earth in new ways, and to become agents of change across social, political, and economic boundaries, both at home and around the globe.
