The Dance of Decluttering

The Dance of Decluttering

by Erik Assadourian | posted in: Gaian Practices and Rituals, Learning from Other Traditions | 1

Not as much a Two Step as a 28-step, at least for this “Chaotic Creative.”

With time on our hands and food scarcity looming in the near future, there’s no better time than to grow your own food.

Giving Thanks

by Erik Assadourian | posted in: Uncategorized | 4

This Thanksgiving, let us give thanks to Gaia for making this feast, and our lives possible. And to everyone who has brought joy–both to this day and to our lives. But let’s not do that passively. Our gratitude should be active, sharing these sentiments–and our good fortune–with others.

Returning to—and Tidying Up—the Fold

by Erik Assadourian | posted in: Uncategorized | 2

Can we, with the same joy as Marie Kondo convinces families to clean up the resultant mess of the consumer culture, persuade families to return to a Gaian way of being?

Do You Suffer from Floppy Fin Syndrome?

by Erik Assadourian | posted in: Gaian Practices and Rituals | 1

Orcas in captivity often have their dorsal fins flop over—most likely from their restricted movement. What bodily ailments do you suffer from due to your captivity in the consumer culture?

The Gaian Creed

“We believe that the Earth, Gaia, is a living being. That Gaia is at the same time composed of the vast diversity of life and is alive in Her own right. We understand that we depend completely and utterly on Gaia and are part of Gaia. We recognize that current human actions are fundamentally altering Gaia and that if pushed too far, Gaia will shift from Her current state to one inhospitable to humans and millions of other species. Therefore, we commit to living radically sustainable lives—even to an extent that it may alienate us from our kin, our communities, our cultures. We commit to sharing our philosophy and bringing others to understand and embrace their relationship with Gaia and help heal Gaia—and in the process, themselves, their families, and their communities.”
