Gaia&#8217s Temple

We carry the memories of our Ancestors in our DNA. What some of us have always felt as 'cellular memory'. Conscious of this, we can choose to halt dysfunctional patterns and thereby heal our Ancestors, ourselves and the world.

The Life Below

Myths have much to teach us about our world and ourselves. How do we integrate the wisdom from antiquity to healthily inform the present? What do Demeter, Persephone, Hades and Hecate have to tell us about balancing life's dramatic twists and turns?

How does the life below support the life above?

Mother Earth's love for us is unconditional. She provides everything: our food, our clothing, our shelter. She delights us with Her diverse beauty. As citizens of Gaia, how can we best serve our precious planet that serves us so completely?

These times require a well grounded courage. It is heart time. Time to locate the fire our hearts contain. In this season of retrograde planets and eclipses, we will look above and see how it relates to below.

The world needs loving and compassionate men in leadership. At this service, we examine the present cultural changes affecting us all, and honor the men in our lives who lead with the heart, act from the soul, and radiate the strength of generosity and graciousness.

The world needs strong and empowered women in leadership. Women need acknowledgement so they don't keep talking themselves out of their power. Women, you are invited to be honored at this service. Men, you are invited to honor the women. And Everyone In Between, you are invited for all the same reasons! Empowered women are the mothers of the future!

April brings our awareness to the state of our planet on Earth Day. The quality of humility asks us to cultivate a lack of false pride, to engage in reciprocity, to remember we are a part of something greater
and more important than we can ever be as individuals.

The fertility of Spring has us fully engaged with nature's elements that create our shared reality. No matter what your personal story is, the earth is beneath you, the air fills your lungs, fire keeps you warm, and water quenches your thirst. How much more fully would we engage, how much more care would we take, if we remember that we don't just use the elements, we are the elements?

The Irish Goddess Brigid inspires us to passionately forge our future. How do we work with Her fire without getting burned or burning out? Thankfully, She also gifts us with healing waters to temper our work and thereby strengthen.

Despite our differences, we share this life, this world, this time. As we move forward into our future, what might happen if we truly grasp that our world would be healthier if we remember we are in this together?
