Dear Relative
ICCS (International Center for Cultural Studies) is organizing in Collaboration with World Congress of Ethnic religions (wcer.org) and The National Council of Elders Mayas, Xinca and Garifuna of Guatemala and many other organizations, the Third International Conference and Gathering of the Elders from 31st Jan to 5th Feb. 2009 at Nagpur, India. Our website www.iccsus.org will give you more info on our activities.
We invite your active participation and welcome co-sponsorship of your organization. The sponsorship is free of cost and the delegates of the organization will get the registration waived for the conference. Please ask your organization to send us a letter to that effect.
Our first conference was held at Mumbai, India, with the theme “Metakuye Oyasin-We are all related” in 2003 attended by delegates from more than 30 countries.
The second conference was in 2006 at Jaipur, India, with the theme “Spirituality Beyond Religions” attended by delegates from more than 40 countries.
Our third conference will be held in Nagpur, India, from 31st Jan to 5th Feb 2009, with the theme “Renaissance of the Ancient traditions: Challenges and Solutions”. We are expecting delegates from more than 50 countries attending this conference. All our conferences have been co-sponsored by many international and regional organizations including the World Congress of Ethnic Religions, Europe (www.wcer.org).
The conference will have ceremonies, paper presentations and workshops on related topics. We are planning pre- and post conference tours of India at very reasonable costs and invite you to take advantage of them.
We are also offering a small number of short term fellowships of 2-3 months duration before or after the conference for studying the Ancient Indian Traditions. Any one interested, please apply.
We invite you to actively participate in this conference and look forward to welcoming you as delegates in large numbers in Nagpur early next year.
With warm regards.
