CALL OF THE CONDOR:  VISION COUNCIL FOR BIOREGIONAL ACTION
SEPT 22-29, 2003
SACRED VALLEY, QOSCO, PERU
http://www.lacaravana.org/condor

Dear Friends and Allies of the Earth,

Responding to the Call Of The Condor, representatives from 
environmental, spiritual, indigenous, and peace movements from the 
Americas, will gather together to hold a Vision Council for 
Bioregional Action during the week of September 22nd-29th 2003, with 
an Equinox ceremony at Machu Picchu on Sept 21, 2003, led by 
spiritual leaders of many traditions.

In one of the most magical sites on the continent, in the Sacred 
Valley of the Incas, Qosqo, Peru, approximately 1000 representatives 
will gather to form a week-long Eco-Peace Village, demonstrating 
sustainable living on the Earth and sharing workshops, plenaries, 
multi-cultural activities and ceremonies.

The Condor calls to all people of good will and high vision: 
ecologists, traditional indigenous elders, healers, spiritual 
teachers, artists, nomads, social activists and peace walkers.

On Sept 21 we will celebrate the Equinox at Machu Picchu, coming 
together in the temples of priestesses and healers, and charging 
ourselves with sacred energy to guide our vision for the coming 
Council.

Activities will start at dawn, with yoga, exercises, martial arts, 
salutations to the Sun or Taita Inti, followed, by meetings of the 
General Council, specific interest Councils, community work, courses 
and workshops, indigenous ceremonies, and ceremonies from other 
traditions. We will end the day with evening story telling, drumming 
around the fire and multi-cultural activities.

Workshop topics typically include: ecology, art and culture, health 
and nutrition, spirituality, indigenous traditions, education, 
permaculture, ecovillage design, eco-feminism, alternative economics, 
consensus decision making, political action, women's/men's issues 
among others. Through their Councils, any participant may offer a 
workshop.

Space is limited and early registration is recommended.  There is a 
discount for participants who register prior to August 15, 2003. 
Registrations may be paid by credit card, direct deposit or check.

Please help us get out the word:
We ask for your help in getting out the word by sending this call to 
your address book and publicizing the gathering through your relevant 
newsletters, mailing lists, websites, e-groups, etc.

with limited resources are particularly needed.
