Watch Our Story
OUR MISSION
We serve people seeking to deepen their spiritual understanding through direct study, ceremony, and pilgrimage rooted in Andean and Indigenous wisdom, so these vital traditions continue to thrive.
We envision a world made whole again, with Eagle and Condor flying together, and with head and heart reunited in harmonious balance.
OUR LIVING STRUCTURE
Eagle Condor Council is one 501(c)3 nonprofit, home to two co-equal initiatives: Yachay Studies and Golden Threads.
We think of these initiatives as two halves of one breath. Yachay Studies is the inhale, bringing wisdom in, and Golden Threads is the exhale, carrying reciprocity back out to the communities that have shared their wisdom with us. Each has its own story, its own leadership, and its own way of working, but both operate under one shared roof, and neither is complete without the other. In practice, this means every gift to ECC is tax deductible, regardless of what initiative it supports.
OUR PURPOSE
Eagle Condor Council exists to awaken ancient wisdom in modern times, creating pathways for learning, healing, and deep connection to the Earth.
Our unique contribution is to bridge indigenous and contemporary worldviews, making these teachings accessible while upholding the integrity and permission of those who carry them. We walk in sacred reciprocity, ensuring that the wisdom we receive is honored, shared, and given back in service.
Through our work, we invite people into a remembering—a way of life rooted in balance, reverence, and right relationship with all of creation.
OUR CORE VALUES
Shared Leadership & Collective Wisdom
We believe that true leadership is shared. By honoring the wisdom of many voices, we cultivate a community that values collaboration, mutual respect, and co-creation.
Sacred Reciprocity & Right Relationship
Our work is guided by ayni (sacred reciprocity)—ensuring that what we receive from these traditions is given back through ethical partnerships, fair-trade commerce, and direct support for indigenous communities.
Integrity & Ancestral Respect
We only share teachings that have been entrusted to us with explicit permission. We honor the elders and wisdom keepers who have guided our path, including the Elder’s Circle, named in honor of Jacqueline Redleaf, a revered Cherokee/Choctaw elder.
Diversity of Traditions & Practices
Our community is woven from many backgrounds and spiritual traditions. We celebrate the richness of these perspectives, recognizing that unity is strengthened through diversity.
Regenerative Stewardship & Partnership
We cultivate partnerships that are rooted in respect, sustainability, and reciprocity. With organizations like Golden Threads, led by elder Lea Motlow, we engage in eco-spiritual travel, fair-trade commerce, and collaborative projects that sustain both the land and the people who carry these traditions.
JOIN OUR COMMUNITY
If you feel called to reconnect with yourself, your community, and the Earth, we welcome you to join us on this journey. Together, we can embody the ancient wisdom that the world needs now more than ever.
