“Moment” Organizers Choose Native Sacred Site in Hot Springs
Hot Springs, Arkansas – On October 20, 2012, several thousand pilgrims
are expected to arrive in Hot Springs for a massive prayer event being
called “The Moment”. Called a “Planetary Pentecost” by Rev. David
Hulse, founder of the RISE Wellness Center, Hot Springs, this event is
expected to draw global attention and attendance.
The event
will take place on and around Hot Springs Mountain, long known as a
Native American sacred site called Manataka or Place of Peace. The area
known as Manataka encompasses Hot Springs Mountain, Indian Mountain and
West Mountain, referred to as the Three Sisters by First Nations People.
This area was a gathering place for indigenous nations for thousands
of years prior to the explorations conducted by the Spanish and the
French. The area was heavily mined for novaculite, a stone which could
be shaped into a very hard sharp edge for spear tips and cutting tools.
But it is Hot Springs Mountain that is most associated with the
Place of Peace. Although it is hard to imagine today with the bath
houses and tourist shops on the west side of the mountain, prehistoric
peoples and early explorers beheld a place of wonder here.
Hot water
issued forth from over 50 springs down the side of the mountain from as
high as 187 feet. The springs were surrounded by mounds created by the
mineral deposits from the springs. These white mounds were streaked
with red iron oxide. The overall exotic landscape caused one writer to
think mistakenly that the area had volcanic activity.
These
springs were known for their healing and rejuvenating properties
throughout the Americas. It was a strange and foreboding place, rich in
flora and fauna. This was considered a sacred place, a place given
special attention by Creator. Many tribes told stories of this strange
place called ‘the Place of Peace’ in their own languages. This was a
place acknowledged as important to all people and all people were
allowed to travel there for their physical and spiritual needs without
fear of enemy interference.
It is the goal of The Moment event
to bring people from all over the planet to join hands, hearts and
minds, in prayer for healing. Manataka with this history of peace,
healing and wonder seems a perfect place for such an endeavor, says Rev.
Hulse.
Growing up in Oklahoma, Rev. Hulse has always felt a
connection with Native American peoples. After several years of
ministering in Hot Springs, where he first heard about the Manataka
Sacred Site, he decided to relocate here. “There is a language of the
Heart,” says Rev. Hulse. The Moment will bring people together in Heart
Space and each will understand the language of the other, he explains.
Rev. Tom Haley, pastor of the Rock Hill Christian Church, Hot Springs,
shares this vision. “Peace is within our reach,” says Rev. Haley. “I
look forward to seeing people of all races, creeds, colors, tribes,
cultures, religions and social situations come together as one people,
spiritually and peacefully, to meet each other as one family of
humanity,” he continues.
Rev. Cheryl Batts, President of a Hot
Springs non-profit community based organization and a minister at one of
the local churches, quotes Lee “Standing Bear” Moore, Secretary and
Story Keeper for Manataka American Indian Council, as saying....
The Moment will bring a close to the age of repentance and open a new time of deliverance, an awakening.
The Moment is the fulfillment of Indian prophesies
when the people of all races come together in love in a single circle,
give thanks and pray. The Moment will create a mass consciousness, a
light that will spread
to many lands.”
Rev. Batts is
Chairperson for the Moment’s Invitation Committee. “We want to invite
every church in Hot Springs for this uplifting spiritual event,” she
states. If you have not yet received an invitation and wish to
