Institue for Cultural Awareness would like to start by thanking the contributors and sponsors of past events and programs, and offer deep appreciation for the support given. Last year ICA sponsored Bridging the Americas- Reuniting the Eagle and Condor Gathering in Peru. During this event, ICA's President, Adam Yellowbird committed to host the Return of the Ancestors Gathering in Northern Arizona in the Spring of 2009. This gathering will also host the 4th reunion of the Continental Council of Indigenous Elders and Spiritual Guides of the Americas, a Council formed by Mayan Elder Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj, "Wandering Wolf".
Since then, elders from South America have asked Institute for Cultural Awareness directors Adam Yellowbird and Carmen Gudin to be ambassadors from the North; the Land of the Eagle. ICA agreed to sponsor and help coordinate the Bridging the Americas: Coming Home, Reuniting the Eagle and Condor Gathering in Bolivia, September 17-21, 2008. This gathering is considered their 3rd Sacred Circle of Wisdom Elders of the World and will be hosted by the Kallawayas elders from the Charazani Valley in Bolivia.
On September 5, 2008, the ICA pilgrimage begins in Lima, Peru and travels to the Amazon jungle in Iquitos for sacred work with the Shipibo medicine people of that region. It then continues to Cuzco, Ollantaytambo, and Machu Picchu where a connection is made with elders Qenqo Harawi Qespe and Vidal Ayala Sinchez from the Cusco region. The pilgrimage will continue via airplane towards Lake Titicaca to visit sacred altars around the region. We are honored once again to work with our ground operator and Spiritual guide, Jorge Luis Delgado and his team. The pilgrimage continues on to the Villa Socco community, Uros Island, the Island of the Sun and the Island of the Moon. Thirty indigenous men and women from Villa Socco, including traditonal Aymara musicans, will blend with fifteen other native men and women from the Island of the Sun to join the pilgrimage as it continues on to the Charazani Valley in Bolivia for the heart of the trip; the elders gathering with Grandfathers and Grandmothers from various regions. For ICA this mission to Peru and Bolivia is essential and culminates to the Return of the Ancestors Gathering scheduled for April 18-28, 2009.
At this time, ICA has confirmed five grandmothers from the Americas to attend the elders gathering in Bolivia following a sacred pilgrimage throughout Peru. Grandmother Elizabeth Araujo from Guatemala, Grandmother Margarite and Laura Espinoza from Mexico, and Grandmother Delores Plunkett and Monica Marquez from Arizona.
