If we were to take our CRISPR (Clipper of Religion Inspired Systems Producing eco-Renaissance) to snip the best bits of religions to build a new philosophical system, what elements would we harvest?

Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis

In the beginning, religion evolved as land-based. Then missionary religions came to dominate. Could Gaianism be the bridge between these two paths—the next step in religion’s evolution?

Unceded Territories and Untreated Wounds

by Erik Assadourian | posted in: Gaian Practices and Rituals, Learning from Other Traditions, Understanding Gaia | 0

What if we started every public gathering with this simple mantra? “Before we begin, let us acknowledge that we are on the infected, lesioned, and festering skin of Gaia.”

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.”
