Shamans, cultural activists and spiritual practitioners from around the world gathered recently in the mountains of Central Asia to conduct a ceremony in protection of sacred sites. The group met for four days in the Uch Enmek natural ethno-park in Karakol, where – amidst breath-taking landscape – it performed a native fire ceremony designed to call forth “the Spirits of Altai.”

The group, comprised of representatives from the Altai Republic, the Republic of Buryatia, Irkutsk region, the Republic Sakha-Yakutia, Kamchatka of the Russian Federation, as well as representatives from Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, USA and Great Britain, released a statement about their rights to protect their sacred sites thatwas addressed to world leaders, its own peoples, and to the international community.
