Evie Pikler was born in Java, Indonesia to Eurasian Parents and migrated to Australia at 3 years of age. Coming from a famous musical family helped her to develop a professional singing career and years of international performances gave her direct experience with different cultures of the world. It was in Europe that Evie joined African-American singer, Paul Brembly and their daughter Jesse was born in Australia. Sharing a child whose ancestors lie in Europe , Asia , Africa and America as well as being born in Australia , affirmed Evie's life long dream of a One~World~family. "My ancestors are glad for my blessed visit to the sacred site, Stonehenge where I was invited. The Great Mystery brought Tklakaelel, Bert Gunn, Adi Vkara, Auntie Mary Duroux and me together leading the rainbow gathering from the ancient stones having paid respects to the spirits representing all nations. Africa, America, Europe, Asia and Australia - the four directions surround the centre. Black, Red ,White, Yellow and the oldest of nations containing all colours within - Brown. I am honoured to be invited to walk within a universal family." "The Four Directions are within my dreaming." | ||||||
