World Ancestor Concert Seed Money - Campaign A

It was about 9pm and the fire was crackling hot and bright under the tall thin trees.  We were about an hour in to warm conversation and friendship after a deep evening of ritual. The logs popped and crackled, sending sparks in gentle display of spirit and celebration.  The Ancestors had visited us today.

And they were with us now.  As the conversation turned to the ways of the world, to the challenges we all faced in our lives, as we sat there in rag-tag lawn chairs, on camp stools and smooth worn stumps, the warm light dancing on hopeful faces, sharing stories of community, transformation and the myriad ways our beloved ones who have passed on before us had prepared us for our lives, how they helped us define our purpose here on earth…how they had touched our lives so often, so deeply….sometimes in ways we could never imagine.

We came to a quiet point there in the firelight, yet cool under the insistent glow of the moon. And we knew we had to find a way to thank them, the Ancestors, to hold them in continued reverence and gratitude…to remember them in a world that would rather have us forget…and step stumbling into our uncertain futures unaided by the best they had to offer us, their genius, their time-worn traditions and best beloved intentions for our best and brightest future now.

There in that flickering light, the World Ancestor Concert was born…sparked out of the heart of a village in the woods of New York…born a beautiful, incendiary love letter yet unopened from those that gave us precious life itself…there in the sacred light of that primal element of fire – the portal to the Ancestors.

The moja mediaworks production team has been hard at work for months developing the World Ancestor Concert, an event we feel is profound from the ground up.  We are seeking modest growth funds starting at the minimum donation level of $25 to allow us to build continuing practical foundations, to take care of initial business considerations and aid in the deeper project of securing Integrated Sponsors. Though our total event budget is far above the goals of this campaign, these funds will be pivotal in the process of this unique, premiere event. 

moja mediaworks is an LLC, not a non-profit organization. Your support is not tax deductible. We will be adding the names of all donors, supporters (first name, last initial, with consent) of this campaign to our website.  We are grateful for any level of support that you can provide.

While our Integrated Sponsor campaign is well under way, this particular campaign will allow us to be more effective in that effort. [Please contact the producers at mojamediaworks [at] gmail [dot] com if you are or know someone or a corporation that is interested in sponsoring this event at a more robust level of support for promotional consideration and other benefits.]

We feel strongly that this event is right on time.  Each time we reach out to prospective team members, creatives, artists and advisors, the message we continue to get is "it's time".  Our theme of Women, Water & Peace is undeniably important considering our current social climate and the steady stream of political challenges that seem to dominate our local and global awareness.

The funds we raise here are the continuation of funds already invested in the World Ancestor Concert, not just a one-time event, but an on-going process of creating cultural events and educational and organizational opportunities to continue to create the world we know is possible, guided by grounded world traditions, the voices of empowered humanity and growing awareness of the needs of Mother Earth and its sacred waters.

The moja mediaworks team is tremendously grateful for for the opportunity to bring together conscious, aware and forward thinking artists and musicians, social justice organizations and activists and a global audience, a Global Village in a context of a multi-generational, multi-cultural, multi-faceted and profound musical and visual program that we are excited to bring to fruition and present as widely as possible.

This is the concert that our world needs right now - 6.9 billion invited.
