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, mult-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 multicultural 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 
substantial discount for participants who register prior to July 21, 
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.

Donations to enable us to bring indigenous leaders, youth and others 
with limited resources are particularly needed.
