This book is a combination of Native American wisdom and prophecy, as well as our personal journey through Jamaica and several Native American tribes. It is based on the concept of healing nations by individuals healing themselves. It examines the issues, situations and forces that are involved when we, as peacemakers, encourage others to join us and heal their lives, their families and their societies through love and forgiveness. In it, you will meet many people devoted to healing the planet by awakening others to their true destiny as peacemakers. It also offers guidance for more clearly determining your own personal Beauty Path. Join us as we visit the Havasupai in their ancient village on the floor of the Grand Canyon, a six-hour trek from the closest road. Listen in as we reason with elders of the Hopi, one of the most spiritual and culturally-intact tribes, whose sacred Ceremonial Cycle holds all human wisdom. Visit the "Valley of the Vapors," where many tribes once gathered in peace. Join us as we host One Love concerts and events throughout Jamaica and on Indian reservations - spreading a message of love and forgiveness, following in the footsteps of The Peacemaker of the ancient Iroquois Confederacy - the first democracy. "I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about Native American culture and spirituality." - Leonard Peltier, Native American leader, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, author of Prison Writings: My Life Is My Sundance "Through this book, all cultures the world over will see that love and peace, friendly and happy relationships and elongated life are long due." - Radford Quamahongnewa, Traditional Hopi Elder of Shungopavi Village "This could be the Father's plan - without the revolution." - Supai Waters, Havasupai Keeper-of-the-Secrets If you would like to order a copy, just click below and we will ship it to you (signed). We are selling the books at $7.50 (a 50% discount). All profits go back to the Hopi and Havasupai tribes. Click here to order The Beauty Path http://www.rastaheart.com/books.html San Francisco Bay Area Gathering of the Peacemakers We are planning our next "Gathering of the Peacemakers" for the San Francisco Bay Area in late summer or early fall. This free event will call together peacemakers (teachers of love) from all walks of life for renewal and rejuvenation, inspirational connections and presentations, and a One Love Reggae Concert featuring local and international conscious artists. Whether your solidly on your "Path of the Peacemaker" or still searching, join us - everyone is a peacemaker at heart! Details in June's update. Contact us at roskind@boone.net if you would like help at the event or host a Gathering of the Peacemakers in your area. Click here for other books by Robert Roskind http://www.rastaheart.com/books.html One Love Events Julia, Alicia & Robert Roskind have organized and hosted 70+ "One Love Events" in Jamaica and on Native American Reservations, colleges and at public venues in the U.S. All these events encourage the audience to claim themselves as teachers of love - as "peacemakers" - by exercising love and forgiveness in their lives. All are non-commercial, involve no outside funding and are free to the public. All profits from their books are used to fund events here and abroad. In Jamaica, they organized a One Love Tour hosted in schools, especially in the inner-city areas. Their latest event was Bob Marley's 60th Birthday Celebration on February 6, 2005 in Kingston, Jamaica with a live audience over 15,000 and a TV and radio audience of almost two million. They have also created a record-breaking PBS series and often speak in public and to college audiences. They are presently working with Hopi and Havasupai elders to bring forward their message of love, as revealed in the Roskind's new book, The Beauty Path:A Native American Journey Into One Love. They hope to soon work with Mayan and Hawaiian elders to do the same.

On Tuesday, April 25, the Belly Up Tavern (www.bellyup.com) and Trade Roots Reggae (www.traderootsreggae.com) join forces to present the legendary Skatalites, the undisputed godfathers of modern Jamaican music. In 1950's Jamaica, a fledgling recording industry saw the birth of what became known as Ska. Created by fusing Boogie-Woogie Blues, R+B, Jazz, Mento, Calypso and African rythyms, Ska became the first truly Jamaican music and by the 60's all the vocalist were swarming to the studios to record their songs to this infectious new beat. The current line-up includes founding members Lloyd Knibb (drums) and Lester "Ska" Sterling (alto sax), Doreen Shaffer (vocals), Karl "Cannonball" Bryan (tenor sax), Vin Gordon (trombone), Devon James (guitar), Ken Stewart ( keyboards), Kevin Batchelor (trumpet), Val Douglas (bass). For more information check out www.skatalites.com. Trade Roots Reggae's association with the Belly Up Tavern has endured for over twenty years. The evergreen retail outlet has always been there to help promote all of the great reggae shows that have played the Belly Up, long the preeminent club venue for Jamaican music throughout southern California. This very special occasion will mark the passing of the roots-and-culture reggae baton from longtime owners, Renee Romano and Elliott Leib, to new owner Brian Velazquez, known locally as Orthodox Reuben.
