Baskets of Seeds is a circle of Grandmothers who are wisdom keepers, ceremony leaders, Earth caretakers, and spiritual healers from many traditions, each tending a uniquely potent ongoing prayer for the well-being of all Life, now and for future generations. These distinguished grandmothers devote themselves to holding and planting seeds of balance, beauty, and truth whose good intentions are activated through the watering of daily prayer and are vital to the re-flowering of the Earth community.
The chosen grandmothers serve as models for women of a life of prayer and service. They are honored participants in the Song Carriers Women’s Circlecommunity ceremonies and are often invited to offer wisdom teachings for various contingents of the Singing Waters community. In reciprocity, the Song Carriers group offer songs for events and ceremonies hosted by members of the grandmothers’ alliance and offer a vibrant circle of hands to assist with projects led by these powerful elder women.
The Basket of Seeds Grandmother’s Alliance includes:
Alta Piechowski (Diné)
Flordemayo (Mayan)
SaSa, (Abenaki, Japanese Ainu & Scottish)

The work of PRAISING EARTH is anchored in a commitment to revitalize the oral traditions of song & poetry in their original context of prayer and ceremony as a means of rewilding the human relationship with language and voice, with fellow men & women in community, and with the natural world and all earthly species to better navigate the current ecological crisis and serve as inspired stewards of a re-balanced, newly-flowering Earth. Based in New Mexico, we also serve California annually, bringing song and poetry oral traditions to the Bay Area.
