For info contact (718) 707-1405 or P.O. Box 25424, Eugene, OR, 97402 Eco- ecological; Earth-centered; indefinitely sustainable, minimal impact living; respecting all living beings both human and non-human; equal members of the Earth and Web of Life (rather than masters of). Raw- a natural, unadulterated, unprocessed state; an exceedingly health-giving and harmless way of eating and living, in harmony with the laws of Nature; eating the foods Mother Nature provides as she provides them (not a single species of any living being chooses to cook its food). Tribal- a social organization of hu! mans that has proven to work; not " civilization " ; a flock of geese, a pod of whales, a tribe of humans; a long-term interdependent grouping of humans which lives out a common cultural vision of humans. Gathering- a coming together of like minds; a convergence of hearts and souls; a respecting and a sharing. ______________________ ____ ______________ " This gathering is not about preserving the American way of life (or technological society, or " taker " culture, or civilization, or totalitarian agriculture). Its about actively and lovingly creating what will come after. " ~Rob Miller ______________________ ____ ______________ We invite you to spend 5 days on the land for a powerful gathering of Earth and Life conscious humans. Our goal is to bring together those who are dedicated to living as equal and vibrant members of the entire ! Community of Life in order to share information, inspire and support each other, and connect for future efforts. If you are sincerely interested in or actively involved in any of many of the following: culture change, permaculture, raw and living foods, deep ecology, tribalism, practical peace action, radical environmentalism, direct action, anti-globalisation, indigenous rights, rights of all living beings, ecological building, open and loving communication, simple need based living, bartering, gifting and non-money economy, foraging and wildcrafting, Nature Cure, fasting and vibrant health, walking, cycling and non-petroleum transportation, grounded conscious living, ecological living, getting beyond civilization, understanding humans as port of the web of life, or any other aspect of minimal impact, Earth-centered, indefinitely sustainable living. We invite you to participate in the first ECORAW TRIBAL GATHERING! As far ! as possible this gathering will be FREE: free of money, free of dogma and preaching, free of plastics (especially disposables), free of petroleum, free of substances and ways of being that discourage presentness, free of " taker " and " dominator " thinking, and simply FREE! We ask a minimum donation of only $60 per person to cover organizing and implementation expenses like infrastructure and clean up at the site, getting the word out about the event, transportation, etc. This is specifically an autonomous event beholden to no corporate or government funders. If you honestly can not afford the money but would like to attend, then offer SUPPORT: Time, Effort, Energy and Things. Many hands are needed before, during and after this event to make it successful. If you can donate more than $60, please do. It will be used wisely and prudently. We sincerely believe that this is a thrilling time to be alive. A change in humans' relations! hip with the Earth and all living beings must come soon, if for no other reason than because an unlimited growth economy is bound to fail on our planet of finite biomass and size. That change maybe years or decades away, but not likely centuries or millennia. In this time of transition we hope to bring together as many people as possible whose hearts nurture the light which illuminates civilizations gloom. We hope to see you at the ECORAW TRIBAL GATHERING. Wishing You Peace, Love and Joy!!!

" ~Daniel Quinn, The Story of B _________________ Things To Know: *** The Gathering will take place on a remote homestead in the Costal Range outside Eugene, OR. There will be meeting places for transportation to/from Eugene, OR. ***Nights are cool, mornings dewy, and days warm to hot. Skies are usually clear and cloudless, but one never knows. There is an abundance of shade trees, many ancients. ***The homestead is totally off the grid. No electricity is available. Cell phones are out of range. ***Camp sites are provided, but no accommodation. Bring sleeping gears, tents, etc. ***Utmost respect for this beautiful and diverse land is expected. PACK ITIN. PACK IT OUT. Absolutely no trash should be left behind. As far as possible, leave no footprints. Compost bins and humanure composting bucket toilets will be available. ***Food: This is a raw vegan gathering. We respect all dietary choices, but for environmental, health, sustainability, social, political and peace reasons this is a " raw " and " live " gathering. Communal meals will be raw, but dietary policing is highly discouraged. ***Bring enough food for yourself and to share. Cases are great (ex. A case of avocados, and another of seasonal fruit). Contact the Food Coordinator for suggestions if unsure. The land should have an abundance of berries, wild greens, and cultivated greens and vegetables from the garden, but don't count on it. Be prepared. ***Communal meals will be prepared in work parties. Help as much as possible. Please let us know if you can bring large serving and bowls, mixing bowls, etc. ***Bring you own bowls, ! plates, cups, utensils, and cloth napkins.

No ego-filled presentations. ***This is a living gathering. Many of the next day events will be organized in counsel the night before in addition to the scheduled events. There is no " one right way " for the Gathering to unfold. Plan on being flexible and leave any preconceptions at home. ***Take responsibility and expect to help. ***Artfulness and creativity in all aspects are highly encouraged. There will b! e music, dance, poetry and spoken word circles, and more. ***Expect to meet lots of like-minded folks.
