We
believe that Coming Together – rooted in the timeless
wisdom of indigenous earth philosophies, epitomizing a truly
all-encompassing attitude – is essential for the co-creation, and
existence of world reality as peace. By
touching the earth and honoring tradition, of individual and communal,
of sustainability and responsibility, the extended, traditional system
of the Yraceburu Family seeks to motivate a dynamic Web of Life
engagement with the greatest potential for self actualization and
fulfillment, a lifestyle for the ongoing tradition of humans evolving
into humane.
And, we offer the following excerpt from the YEW Vision as a guide to
the ongoing conduct of a Community Group:
. . . our vision is to offer spiritual and cultural education programs
based on earth traditions and values. We are recognized for our
capacity to run quality programs that promote the reconnection to earth
and humanity, with the development of healthy, sustainable lifestyles
for all.
Membership in YEW –
We ask that all members of all Community Circles be
encouraged to become family members of YEW by participating in events.
We also request that the Community Croup, or at
least one member of the group, become a Co-Creator. Members qualify for
opportunities and information not available to the general population.
Communications within the network –
In order to increase effectiveness, deepen
inquiries, and bring all Community Circle Coordinators and members up
to date on YEW happenings, we request the following:
Participation by Coordinators in any special
conference calls organized by YEW, or YEW Beams of Support.
Dissemination of information coming directly from
YEW, or YEW Beams of Support Representatives, especially when requested.
Participation by Community Circle Coordinators
and/or appointed members of the group’s leadership team in any
orientation program provided annually.
Community Circle Websites –
YEW Community Circle websites should primarily be
about the Community Circle and its activities and have a prominent link
to YEW web site (www.yraceburu.org) on the home page.
Some Community Groups refer to group affiliates,
sponsors, practitioners, vendors, etc. on their website. These
references should be in a separate section of the website apart from
the home page – e.g. listings of people or organizations that show
their promotional information. If such references appear on the
website, we ask that there be a clear statement on this (these) page(s)
that no endorsement by YEW is given or implied.
We ask that if Community Circle websites contain
paid ads that those advertisers’ products and/or services generally
support YEW's mission statement.
If donations are solicited on the website, it must
be clear that proceeds are for the use of the Community Circle and a
link to the Yraceburu EarthWisdom web site donation page should be
included as well.
Community Circle websites will be subject to review
and approval by the YEW Beams of Support.
Member Contact Information –
So that we can maintain good relations with all interested parties,
contact information for Community Circle members collected through the
web site or in live gatherings (phone numbers, email addresses,
physical addresses, etc.) must not be used for any activities other
than official YEW Community Circle activities nor shared with anyone
other than YEW or its designates.
YEW Elders –
YEW has created alliances with Elder WisdomKeepers. Wherever possible,
nurturing these alliances at the local level will be appreciated.
Gaining and Keeping Recognition by YEW –
YEW reserves the right to remove a Community Circle and/or a
Coordinator’s name from the official YEW Web Directory or deny a
request to become a new Coordinator if we have reason to believe that
doing so is in the best interest of our members, other YEW Community
Circles, or YEW in general.
