| For the first time in history, the integrity and coherency of the global ecology is being threatened; because of the environmental effects of human civilization, “ecocide” may be a possibility. Certainly, human civilization as we know it is in jeopardy and many millions of lives are at risk. Yet within us lies the power to redress this growing imbalance and to open new, positive possibilities for the future. This power resides in a Gaian consciousness.
Gaian consciousness emerges from the attunement of an individual’s own incarnational intelligence with the incarnational intelligence of the living planet itself, the world soul or Gaia. In this spiritual and energetic partnership and blending, an individual begins to think like a planet, feeling in himself or herself the life force of Gaia and a deeper connection with the world. From this comes a capacity to aid the world through techniques of subtle activism that use spiritual and subtle energies to complement outer, physical activism. Gaian consciousness also charges a person’s personal energy field and awareness so that he or she may contribute to the healing and wholeness of the planet through the ordinary actions of his or her daily life.
This program is a five-day face-to-face retreat held twice a year. It employs techniques of group initiation to seed the experience of a Gaian consciousness, which then may grow in unique ways within each individual in harmony with his or her life.
To qualify for this program, an individual needs to have read Subtle Worlds, by David Spangler, and taken the following self-study modules: The Incarnational Way, Energy Hygiene, and Subtle Activism.
