Arco Iris Earth Care Project

25 Years Protecting Mother Earth, Preserving Indigenous Traditions
Join us in honoring our sacred Mother Earth

Arco Iris Earth Care Project invites you to demonstrate your loving support of Mother Earth here in the Ozarks by designing a “Protect the Earth” Medicine Shield. We will provide you with a disc of raw wood upon which you may draw, paint, collage, mosaic or burn your unique Protect the Earth message/prayer/symbology.

The wooden discs were cut from 2 deadfall walnut and cedar trees from our 400 acre Wild Magnolia land trust located in Boxley. The night of the event the Medicine Shields will be blessed with a traditional Native American pipe ceremony. The shields will then be auctioned at a fundraiser dinner. All proceeds will go to Arco Iris Earth Care Project (AIECP) an Arkansas 501(C)(3)non-profit organization.

Honor the Earth with food, friends, music and a silent auction benefiting the Earth School.

Location: Parish Art Gallery at the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 224 N. East St., Fayetteville, AR
Preview Party: Saturday May 9, 2009, 6PM, dinner, art auction and music by local musicians.

• Tickets: Preview Mexican Dinner party $15.00 adults and $7.00 children under 12 years.
