The Gathering: A Moment the World Would Never Forget (from ‘The Tipping Point’)
The first official stand of the Human Renaissance Movement was not in Washington, D.C.
It was not in New York or Los Angeles or any center of traditional power.
It was in the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota, the beating heart of the Lakota Nation, on land that had seen centuries of struggle and resilience.
It was a deliberate choice.
For too long, Indigenous voices had been silenced, ignored, or co-opted. But they had never stopped speaking. They had warned of the destruction of the land. They had lived through government betrayal after betrayal. They had fought not just for their own survival, but for the survival of the Earth itself.
And now, as climate catastrophes grew more extreme—wildfires turning skies red, hurricanes swallowing entire coastlines, droughts killing crops across continents—the world was finally listening.
The Human Renaissance Movement would not begin with politicians giving speeches from podiums.
It would begin here. With the original caretakers of the land. With the voices that had been ignored for far too long.

In a world full of wonders, Willow and Birdie discovered a game called Life. They learned that the key to becoming truly good at this game was appreciation. They were encouraged to take moments to marvel at the beauty of the night sky, the vastness of the ocean, the love they felt for their friends, the magic of the forest, and the daily miracle of the sunrise. There were endless things to appreciate.
When their hearts were filled with appreciation, they felt natural joy and happiness. Love and gratitude intertwined, creating beautiful feelings. When they felt either of them, they knew they were truly alive and happy.
In this grand adventure, the only scoreboard that mattered was how happy and satisfied they felt with their life story each day. Just like going to a movie or a concert, you go to have a good time, right? A vacation isn’t meant for unhappiness. Similarly, in the game of life, you want to enjoy yourself. The message they were getting was that you feel best when you are kind and loving in your interactions with the world around you.
