Gaia’s Blog: Seeds for a Resilient, Earth-Centered Future

The Sacred Land's Wisdom

Ancestral peoples believed that the land itself contained deep wisdom that could be accessed and passed on by respectful, attentive human beings.

I’m working on perfecting my listening skills, and I hope you are too!

This is the worst thirst, and it can’t be quenched any other way than to leave your allegiance to the human-centered world and come back to Gaia. [Read more…] about Our Thirst for Gaia
