Gaia is the ancestral mother of all life: the primal Mother Earth goddess. -Gaia is a name for the ancient earth goddess. "Goddess" Spirituality is the oldest known spirituality on the planet. It was a global experience regardless of the geographical barriers between peoples. -Gaia symbolizes the sacredness and inter-connectedness of all life and the earth as a breathing living organism. -The recognition and realization of the spirituality of the planet itself and Gaia, the earth Goddess, in our consciousness, results in our respect, honor and care of our planet. All matter is part of the mother. In fact the term "matter" means "mother". When this is understood, matter is treated in a manner which is in balance and harmony with all. In other words, nothing can be taken from the divine mother without an effect upon the balance. When we consider the divinity of the planet itself, we care for it's people, air, water, ground, plants and animals. A recognition of the spiritual essence of all is a great key to the transformation of the planet into a place for great living. Spirituality and technology will meet in harmony. 10) Keep programs will include... 11) Change date and number of Dauphin Island retreat to: March 4 - 10 2018. It will be our 15th annual retreat n Dauphin Island.
