Carla Poluha, Red Tent Facilitator and Community Gatherer Co-Host of Serpent Mound Star Knowledge Peace SummitsCarla has acquired many certifications and titles in her professional life, she believed she would climb the professional ladder of success, but much to her surprise , her well thought out plan was interseeded by Creator. There was a far better plan without limitations . All she would be required to do was let go and allow the Inner Goddess to flow and hear the call to gather the women in Red Tents . Red Tents are held during the energy of the new moon , a time when women naturally go within and are most in need of community . It is during this time that women must gather in circle to reclaim the wisdom of our ancestors. To get back into nature to embrace the medicines and recall the ways of our culture and lineage that was once forgotten . Carla is truly a champion of women and gatherer of community. Her passion for peace within humanity comes from her life experiences through adoption. This experience left her to uncover and come to a growing understanding of the core wound within all women and of humanity. This core wound of sex and sexuality is the root that ails all beings . Without uncovering and embracing core wounds we become warriors out to defend and destroy any and all who do not share our beliefs . It’s time to put down the swords with the knowledge that we are already free . The systems are broken , they do not require to be fixed . It’s time to experience liberation and create new ways of being that serve humanity and not the systems. Carla is constantly practicing the balance of creative ideas, passion in the heart and opening to the unfolding of experiences through LOVE

Baba Jubal Harris is a percussionist, drum maker, storyteller and teaching artist. My goal is to engage students and teachers in an artistic process that integrates the traditional arts with the core academic curriculum. During a recent Ohio Arts Council (OAC) Arts Learning residency at the Ohio School for the Blind, band and choir students in grades K-12 learned to play and sing African polyrhythms. History, geography, science, math and culinary arts were also integrated into their classroom curriculum. During another OAC residency at the Southern Ohio Museum and Cultural Center, fifth-grade students made drums and learned to perform as an ensemble that included, piano, Orff xylophone, vocals and percussion. I am a pioneer of African Centered Arts integration in American schools and my methodology allows collaboration to develop experiences that meet the Ohio Fine Arts Academic Content Standards for music grades K-12.This multiple intelligence approach is holistic and supports student creativity and achievement. Above all, my love of life and joy of sharing my many creative talents inspires students to learn.
I am a socially responsible artist rooted in the realization that life is a precious gift to be enjoyed and shared with reverence and respect. I strive to reflect the beauty and simplicity of nature in my art and music. My approach is harmonic and holistic. I dramatize African folktales because they are entertaining and, most importantly, they impart wisdom. My musical style employs the instruments of the full African orchestra, the song of the lead singer and chorus, hand clapping and dance that recreates a dramatic and mystical ritual saga. I make drums that are traditional and contemporary in style and construction technique. They are functional works of art. I currently perform with internationally acclaimed Kora player Alhaji Papa Susso from The Gambia, West Africa. I also perform with my ensemble "One World Rhythm" which includes musicians from West Africa, the Caribbean and the United States.

Leading our Drum Circle is Lawrence R Greene is the founder of Ugata: drum and dance. It was started as a way to connect Southern Ohio with Pan African culture. Ugata is the study of a set of rhythms from the African diaspora
Lawrence's incredible presentation on the West African Drumming tradition. He is keeping this long tradition alive and well. He delivers an amazing demonstration of his deep knowledge of these drums. It was so moving to hear his passion for music and personal stories about connecting to his African heritage. Here is a message from Lawrence Greene "I have been wanting to teach an African full moon rhythm and dance called Yankadi. It could be something people can learn and share when they come each time. I feel like we don't learn enough songs to take away. Little rituals that we can add to our lives from the people we gather with multiple times a year."
Anela’s
My name is Lelanya “Anela” Malulani Watson. My lineage comes from Hawaiian, Tahitian, European and African roots. I was raised on the island of O’ahu with an ancestral lineage stemming from, Tahiti, Ka’u on Moku ‘O Keawe (Hawai’i island) and Maui. These ancestral roots go back to generations of Kahuna Nui from both my grandfather (Hawaiian) and grandmother (Tahitian). I hold a strong lineage of wisdom that I receive through intuitive connection from my ancestors within the Spirit Realm.
In 2016 I experienced a profound spiritual awakening. It was then that I started the journey of self-reflection and intense inner healing. While diving deep into self, I gained a profound connection to God/Source/Creator and my own I Am Presence. My life’s purpose began to manifest and I started to re-awaken to my spiritual abilities. Over the years I learned various healing modalities and techniques through vibration, energy, sound, crystals and meditation. As I began to practice these modalities, I created a unfathomable connection to my ancestors and Star Lineage. I was taught ancient healing techniques that were being channel through me during each session I facilitated. After fully surrendering to the guidance and teachings, I created my own modality called Ho’ola Loa.
Today, I work in both the physical and quantum fields on multidimensional platforms. I support others in activating their dormant abilities within their Twelve 5th Dimensional Crystalline Solar Strands of DNA. I do this by being a vessel of Divine Light to help clear any distortions held for eons of time in all bodies.. (the physical, etheric, mental and emotional, casual and spiritual) created by old thought patterns and lower vibrational emotions. As a practitioner, it is my kuleana (responsibility) to be a vessel of Light, and do the work with the highest intent of Love.
In 2022, I left Hawai’i to venture out into the world on a personal “Vision Quest”. I sold my house and everything I owned, as I put complete trust in the Universe, and am now living in a mobile RV. During my travels, I have created a deeper relationship to my own Divinity and to Mother Earth and is learning how to merge it deep into my physical being. I have also been learning about different cultures, not only here in the United States, but in other countries, experiencing other indigenous cultures, and consciously blending them with my own. While traveling, I began doing grid work for the earth and assisting humanity in raising our collective consciousness as I am Divinely guided and assisted by my Star Lineage and the Heavenly Realms.
Hawaiian Bee, In Her words, “My name is ‘Be’Lynn Aquino Watson, born on the island of O’ahu. I am a daughter, sister, niece, auntie, mother, grandmother, a wife. “I am” a piece of a whole…that makes up “ONE”…from SOURCE. I am a creation who is navigating through this lifetime to remember my “true self” embodied in “Unconditional Love”. I am a student and teacher learning from all of my experiences and encounters to awaken me closer to who I AM. I AM one of you ALL that takes part in the healing process of ALL, the people, the land, the waters. I hold a piece as well as you all do to bring this healing to reality. My wife, Anela Malulani and I have a common purpose which is to help awaken those to follow their heart and activate places with love and light. We both made a leap of trust on this journey, traveling to different places in the world, to provide service to everyone and everything by raising our vibration and frequency of Unconditional Love.”
