Can we, with the same joy as Marie Kondo convinces families to clean up the resultant mess of the consumer culture, persuade families to return to a Gaian way of being?

Waves, Waterfalls and Our Eventual Return to Gaia

by Erik Assadourian | posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Death is our inevitable return to Gaia. And as it is inevitable it should not be feared. Rather our focus should be on how we live our lives.

The Gaian Creed

“We believe that the Earth, Gaia, is a living being. That Gaia is at the same time composed of the vast diversity of life and is alive in Her own right. We understand that we depend completely and utterly on Gaia and are part of Gaia. We recognize that current human actions are fundamentally altering Gaia and that if pushed too far, Gaia will shift from Her current state to one inhospitable to humans and millions of other species. Therefore, we commit to living radically sustainable lives—even to an extent that it may alienate us from our kin, our communities, our cultures. We commit to sharing our philosophy and bringing others to understand and embrace their relationship with Gaia and help heal Gaia—and in the process, themselves, their families, and their communities.”
