"Caring for the Earth and each other because our lives depend on it."

Welcome!

Gaia Community is an earth-based, pagan Unitarian Universalist congregation meeting in Shawnee Mission, KS. We meet every Sunday at 4 p.m. Each week we present either a participatory pagan ritual, a discussion forum, or a class. We also offer drumming and dancing beginning at 3:30, and KidSpace, our children's program, during the service.

We welcome all who share our values and our commitments, regardless of age, race, color, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual or affectional orientation, or disability.

God Auction

The 2010 God Auction resulted in the choice of Quetzalcoatl as our new patron.

History

In 2003, Gaia Community experimented with a "Pagan Traditions of the World" format to our rituals, with several cycles of rituals from different traditions: British Traditional Wicca, Hellenic Paganism, Druidry, and Kemetic (Egyptian) Paganism, among others. The Egyptian Chapter introduced us to an ancient/modern concept of a "God Auction", whereby temples of a city would collect donations of food and goods to discern who would be the patron of the city. That temple (and its deity) was then given a place of prominence for the coming year, as well as having additional responsibilities to distribute that wealth and food to the needy.

New Member Classes

Gaia Community's New Member Classes are held in three independent sessions. The classes are held monthly on a rotating basis (with a break in the summer and December). In order to become a member, you must take all three sessions, but you can take them in any order you like.

History of the UUA and Gaia Community will be held in January, April, and September.
All About Gaia (Mostly) will be held in February, May, and October.
Mock Ritual for Business will be held in March, June, and November.

The final three new member classes of 2010 are as follows:
History of the UUA and Gaia Community: September 26
All About Gaia (Mostly): October 24
Mock Ritual for Business: November 14

Each class starts at 2 PM. Early 2011 classes will be scheduled in December of 2010.

If you would like to take the new member class, please contact Devin or Jamie at membership@gaiacommunity.org or simply look for them on Sunday!
