Bless the Mamas!
What better place to be than Gaia's Temple to worship the Divine Feminine on Mothers Day? Mothering is a verb and a Mother is anyone who has nurtured, supported and loved you into being. Join us as we gather to feel our gratitude for and bless the Mamas in our lives! Bring the women in your life who match this description so they can be properly honored. Ladies, come and get your rose!
Blessed Be,

Cease Fire!
Featuring Vocalist Nedra Gaskill, with Kathy Sestrap on Piano.
The element of Fire brings powerful transformation. Fire must be tended to keep it from growing dangerous. We already know how to fan the flames. Have we forgotten how to put them out? What does it take to cease fire?

Exalt the Women!

Regardless of their ethnicity, age, faith, looks, or economic status, women everywhere ought to be exalted. Especially on the weekend of International Women's Day! Join us as we consider how we uphold and empower the feminine when we offer up the ache of women to be healed!

A Great Transformation!
Featuring Aureole Lighten and Joe O'Malley, with Drummers Cynthia Ewers, Brooke Greiner, Sally Pendras, Susan MacKenzie and Kathy Sestrap on piano.
It’s common to enter a new year wanting to begin again. Sometimes all we need is a re-commitment to something already precious to our hearts and souls. Times like these, when the entire world is in agreement that a new year has begun, is when we can use the momentum of the collective and renew our commitment to the highest good of all. In other words, the perfect time for a great transformation.

The Soul of Winter
Winter's aesthetic may be stark but it is no less beautiful. The depth and quiet of this dark time brings necessary rest. When we hold the season with reverence for what it is, and not disparage it for what it isn't, we meet the soul of winter. Join us as we worship Her season of restoration as we prepare for Yule!

The Wisdom of the Crone!
Featuring Vocalist Aureole Lighten, with Kathy Sestrap on Piano.
The Crone aspect of the Goddess is one of the wisdom of lived experience. She is the wisdom keeper, the reliable truth teller, the compassionate presence. As the veil between the worlds grows thin in season, our worship turns toward the wisdom the Goddess as Elder and Guide.

A Necessary Change
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Featuring: Joyce Allison, and Kathy Sestrap on Piano
There is something particularly poignant about what the month of September brings. Continued harvest. A point of balance. A letting go. At the Autumnal Equinox we cross the threshold into the dark half of the year. This change is necessary for what we gather in season and also in what we release. As the nights begin to grow longer than the days, how might we reorient to this part of the life cycle spiritually? Join us for our 23th Anniversary service!

For The Sacred

Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Featuring: Chanteuse Celia, and Kathy Sestrap on Piano
When the grains are first harvested in season, we know it's time to take stock. Ensuring an abundant future means examining our present practices. How might these practices become devotional, soulful? What must we do, and what must we cease, for the sacred?
