Philosophy

GAYA recognizes the Earth as intelligent consciousness; a sacred living being that is vibrant, responsive, and interactive. GAYA believes that in order for humanity to not only survive but to evolve, we need to reclaim our profound and inherent relationship within the complexities of the natural world.

GAYA recognizes that every culture has a wisdom and knowledge that compliments the whole of humanity. Bound within Indigenous cosmologies are expansive pathways that illuminate the beauty and intelligence of the natural world, as well as practical ecological knowledge that can be blended with the ethical and sustainable sciences of today.

GAYA respects youth as sources of vision, creative intelligence, and a vital part of our communities. GAYA serves the desire of young people to creatively express their individual talents, to be empowered to direct their personal future, participate more fully in the co-creation of our global society, and create more profound and meaningful experiences in their lives.

GAYA recognizes and serves the understanding that we as individuals have tremendous power in influencing the world around us. Through our thoughts, intentions, choices, and actions we have the power to revision, remake, and rebalance our world-- to live a beautiful existence.
