The livelihood, dignity, relationships, and equality of Indigenous Peoples everywhere in the world is reflected in the mission of the Parliament of the World’s Religions. For 25 years, Indigenous Peoples have been active in the Parliament, sharing cultural and spiritual wisdom, developing connections among Indigenous communities and with our siblings in humanity of hundreds of spiritual paths. With each subsequent Parliament, our presence deepens and grows, now encompassing more than 50 unique Indigenous communities from around the world.
Indigenous Peoples’ touch the Parliament of the World’s Religions through profound and sacred engagements at its major international Parliament convening, in programming at the United Nations, and in far-reaching advocacy on urgent issues including the protection of sacred Indigenous sites, and all of life itself. From cross-cultural dialogue among youth to activism led by honourable Indigenous Elders and Wisdom Keepers, there is a place for all to come and experience authentic, meaningful, and purposeful engagement of Indigenous rights, issues, and cultures.

The Source of Synergy Foundation recognizes that our essence is Source: a single, universal field out of which everything emerges, where we are united as one. Our Foundation is built upon exploring, utilizing and awakening to our innate qualities and capacities as conscious, evolving expressions of the Source of all that is, all that was and all that ever will be. Our intention is to support the release of synergistic energy that will exponentially expand and create a global ripple effect in planetary consciousness. We all recognize that when individuals, organizations, communities and nations unite in a shared sense of responsibility for the common good their collective efforts have a far greater effect on the whole. Recently, we have seen an extraordinary number of networks, alliances, and coalitions of individuals and organizations uniting in a shared sense of responsibility to help solve some of the world’s most pressing problems–climate change, hunger, human rights violations, and conflicts. The Source of Synergy Foundation is dedicated to creating opportunities for synergy that support a conscious evolutionary movement for global transformation.
