Welcome to the new Site!

Welcome to Gaia Community's new home on the web. We've added a lot of information about the community: who we are, what we do, and how to get involved with all of our various services and activities. We've also added a news feed below, so you can see what's happening soon right from the front page of the website.

So welcome, have a look around, and let us know if we can do anything to make your experience better!

Excellence in Ritual

Excellence in Ritual is Gaia Community's public ritual training course; classes meet once a week for eight weeks, culminating in a ritual performed for and by the class. Students then participate in a ritual internship for several weeks, participating in regular Sunday services, and finally present a ritual on their own for the entire congregation.

The next Excellence in Ritual class starts the second week of January, 2009. Fees for this participatory training are $35 for members, $50 for non-members.

Workshop: Ritual Consciousness and Altered States

Mon, 12/15/2008 - 1:46pm — Kimberly

In many traditions, the ritual space is a place and time outside of the boundaries of everyday life. In this space, magic can happen, transformations can be made, and the gods speak clearly to those who listen. Practitioners of ritual arts create this space to their own design through force of will and tricks of mind and body that subtly alter their realities. This workshop will explore the process of coming to a state of "ritual consciousness", ways to achieve gnosis or enter non-ordinary reality in a ritual setting, and techniques for grounding and returning to the everyday world.
