The Church of the Eagle and the Condor (CEC) is a multicultural spiritual community based in Phoenix, Arizona. We come together in fellowship and are dedicated to the reunification of humanity in fulfillment of the ancient Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor. We believe that in times of great struggle, people can work together again to re-establish equilibrium with our Earth and kin. Our beliefs are founded on combining the strengths of Indigenous and non-Indigenous ways to improve holistic health, well-being, and connection to the Creator. We welcome members from diverse backgrounds and work towards our own spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental healing to better serve the common good. We pray to remember that we are inextricably linked and are called to be good stewards of the Earth so our children and their children can live in health, happiness, and harmony for many generations to come.
Gathering of the Eagle and the Condor
Our Mission
The Church of the Eagle and the Condor’s mission is to promote the spiritual unity of all people with the Creator. We seek to serve the common good by providing ceremonial support and opportunities to enhance spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental well-being. We present programs, workshops, and research. We nurture medicinal, social, cultural, environmental, and spiritual causes.
Our Values
We value Ayni (a word in Quechua which means sacred reciprocity), sacred activism, and Hózhó (a word in Diné, an Indigenous language of Southwest United States, which means beauty, balance and harmony). We value cross-cultural friendships and diversity.
Ayni is a Quechua term that refers to sacred reciprocity, an ordering principle present in everything and everywhere. Ayni is restored through practicing gratitude and cultivating an awareness and appreciation for our connection with nature. Being humble and recognizing that nature is the giver of life but can also destroy, facilitates the flow of energy to avoid stagnation. The sacred act of giving and receiving (mutual aid) is a healing act that helps us become more aware of our present moment. We share our prayers and good faith through the gifts we exchange.
Sacred Activism inspires us to rectify the imbalances within our society with a counter movement and through our own spiritual practice, Society is in constant flux. Sacred activism is required to establish equality and harmony among all of our relations.
Hózhó is a Diné term that means beauty or balance. Hózhó is part of a much larger concept, "Sa’ah naaghai bik’eh Hózhóon"(SNBH). Translated as “there is a plan beyond old age of joy and happiness in the next world”. It is one of the twelve philosophical concepts to guide the Diné and the basis of the ancient traditional technologies of the Diné. The basis of this technology is the Spirit of our thoughts. Our thoughts have spirit and great power. Spiritual transformation provides the most impact to one's life. It is analogous to planting a seed that germinates and blooms, just as our awareness and knowledge. SNBH was a philosophy created by the Diyin Diné (the Holy Ones, a group of beings that includes deities and ancestors). SNBH is also the Creator or Universal Mind. The Hózhó philosophy emphasizes that humans are self- empowered through responsible thought, speech, and behavior. Transformative awakening and finding happiness in the next world occurs when we apply new skills to address the need to change, to deal with troublesome emotions, and work towards the deep healing needed to live a harmonious life. Therefore, our life goal is to live in “Hózhó”. With our thoughts we can manifest things into reality. SNBH encompasses two paradigms: the Beauty Way and the Protection Way, with Hózhó at the core.
