Sacred Journey of Unity: Eagle Meets Condor Indigenous Chiefs and Elders of Canada Journey to Peru
Sacred Journey of Unity: Eagle Meets Condor
An Inspiring Conversation Led by Marc Caron
Step into a story of healing, connection, and spiritual awakening. Marc Caron hosts an extraordinary dialogue with the Indigenous Chiefs and Elders of Canada as they prepare for a pilgrimage to Peru—a historic meeting of wisdom keepers from the North and South. This journey embodies the ancient prophecy of the Eagle and Condor, symbolizing unity between the Indigenous peoples of the Americas.
About the Journey
Ten distinguished Chief-Elders and Sacred Pipe Carriers from across Canada will travel to Peru to:
- Share their sacred pipes and traditional medicine offerings.
- Seek permission through ceremony to bring Grandmother Ayahuasca’s healing wisdom to their communities.
- Build spiritual bridges between Indigenous traditions of the North and South.
- Establish the All Nations Accord, a sacred commitment to preserve and share ancient knowledge for the healing of humanity.
This unprecedented gathering faced unexpected challenges, including the closure of a critical funding platform. While $30,000 had been raised, the total budget of $70,000 is essential to support travel, ceremonial needs, and local arrangements.
