An Indigenous-led movement
Love's Grand Ceremony
Ending War, Gifting Freedom, Unleashing Possibility
11/11/2026
The vision
An Indigenous-led invitation to move from hoping for peace to creating and sustaining PEACE.
Disarmament/War's end
Name & honestly own what fear, war, conflict, and trauma have asked us to carry personally and intergenerationally. Lay down weapons; lay down personal defenses; lay down war. Choose a new way.
Forgiveness/Amnesty
Make room for your TRUE HEART, for grief, understanding, mutuality, forgiveness & reconciliation; caring relationships, rebuilding trust in households and communities.
New civilization
In our reconnection, let us embrace our responsibility for healing the damage we have caused to our beloved planet. Earth gives us everything!
The invitation
This is a beginning. We are laying down WAR! This is not a claim that one day or one ceremony ends war. We do claim to launch war's end!
Actions, ceremonies, festivities all over the world! Global broadcasts, songs of liberation, community & celebrating life! We are making Armistice real.
The vision brings people together to acknowledge loss, lay down defenses, reconcile and celebrate.
The intention is a continuing network of local circles, shared learning and practical mutual support. Building a whole new civilization!
Why ceremony
What has conflict and fear cost us?
What is within our power to lay down?
What can we repair, forgive, begin again?
Disarmament that never reaches the personal will never reach the global.
Keep the Minute
As the hour crosses the Earth, the silence moves with it: a wave circling the planet for twenty-four hours.
Hours after the first Minute, which begins at 21:11 UTC on 11/10/2026 in Kiritimati. Offsets reflect standard and daylight time in effect on 11/11/2026.
Ways to participate
Participation begins: gather and empower your family, community in heart's goodwill!
Pause for 60 seconds at 11:11 a.m. local time on 11/11/2026.
Name what you lay down, what you take up, and how you will participate.
Everyone can share their story and be heard! Individuals or communities can make a short video to share locally to globally in solidarity.
Meet in your own community, with your own traditions food, songs, events, and identify your needs, wishes, visions and actions.
Leadership and cultural care
Grandmother Ejna Fleury, Elder and Peace Ambassador, is named as Elder Convener of Four Grandmothers: Shuni Myriam Giron, Mutima Imani, & Hanna Sieranen; all Keepers of the Vision
Local communities gather within their own land, lineage and heritage, following their own inspirations & guidance for how they embrace our new freedom.
All action takes place in deepest respect for all life & coming from new found trust amongst peoples.
Beyond the day
All people, all communities are invited to plan their own disarmament, ceremonies, actions, activities for 11/11/26 and beyond. The first two films of Love's Grand Ceremony by the Four Grandmothers are templates of encouragement & inspiration.
Our films are the invitation for our whole human family to hold ceremonies locally all over the world! We invite local leaders to hold ceremonies for your family, land, and for Earth. We are also willing to travel and hold ceremonies with you!
Our Circle will provide suggestions and guidance for disarmament, ceremonies, and other community actions upon which to launch your own actions. We are also willing to travel to strengthen communities and hold ceremonies with you!
Help organizers find one another, exchange learning and and in that way keep our circles supported.
