“One of the principles of Indigenous peoples worldwide is to give back to the earth more than we take. If we could all just adopt this one principle, asking what can we give instead of take, we could create a different earth. My hope is that the message of KIVA will enlighten people’s hearts, to humble ourselves and to be in gratitude for what Mother Earth is giving us.”
— Marijke Kodden, Documentary Filmmaker
Marijke’s Gift to You:
KIVA The Call of the Wisdom Keepers Documentary Film
Video: In a world that is becoming increasingly removed from nature and seems out of balance, there is great need and longing for a different perspective, a perspective of reconnection, harmony and restoring the balance with nature and all living beings. This documentary offers a unique view of the KIVA Ceremony, where Indigenous Wisdom Keepers from all continents gather around a sacred fire, expressing their love and concern for the care of Mother Nature and humanity, through prayers, ancient rituals, songs, and dance. The Original Peoples have never lost touch with nature and with their Ancient Wisdom, they can inspire us to a more connected and sustainable way of life! Viewers are invited to reflect on how we can heal our relationship with Mother Earth, 'because she is crying and is calling her children home!’

Biography
Marijke Kodden is a filmmaker and photographer, who travelled the globe in search of indigenous tribes. Inspired by nature all of her life, she worked for World Wildlife Fund and a Dutch nature reserve organization for over 10 years. In 2018 she participated in the KIVA ceremonies and was deeply moved by the Indigenous People from around the world coming together, all united in one place. What became clear to her is that the Original Peoples have never lost their connection to nature. They are the ones that can guide us to a more connected and sustainable way of life by teaching us how to reconnect with our roots. Marijke is humbled and deeply grateful to have had the opportunity of photographing and filming at the KIVA ceremonies in Mexico (2018), India (2019), The Netherlands (2018/2019) and Germany (2021), organized by Roots of the Earth (Raíces de la Tierra). She felt a strong urge to bring the message and the importance of the KIVA ceremony into the world, and created an independent documentary film, entitled ‘KIVA The Call Of The Wisdom Keepers’., together with Jaap Verhoeven and Rakinah Buttner. She is grateful to have had the opportunity to interview many Wisdom Keepers, and spread their message, not only through the documentary, but also via sharings of Wisdom Keepers and other guest speakers during the Live events. In these times of chaos and separation, KIVA brings another perspective, a message of hope and reconnection. You are warmly invited to let your heart be touched as you receive her beautiful gift of viewing this film.
