ECORAW TRIBAL GATHERING

 

August 27 to 31, 2003

Outside Eugene, OR

In The Woods, Off The Grid, On The Land

 

A 5 Day convergence of Earth-centered humans creating minimal impact,

indefinitely sustainable life beyond Taker/Dominator culture.

 

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!!!

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.

***This is an alcohol and cigarette free gathering.

*** All participants (even the well-known ones) are asked to pay the

donation and/or offer support.

***All learnings are a sharing process, usually in discussion circles,

counsel, participatory presentations, etc. We hope for the participation

of

all, even those listening. 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.

sell
