Gaia's Voices
In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between them, there are doors. – William Blake
That which blossomed forth as cosmic egg fifteen billion years ago now blossoms forth as oneself, as one’s family, as one’s community of living beings, as our blue planet, as our ocean of galaxy clusters. The same fecund source – then and now; the same numinous energy – then and now. – Brian Swimme

Featured Article: Creating an Economy for a living earth
Excerpt: When I think of Gaian Economics I think of way more than what is generally included under the subject of “economics”. I think of life, old growth forests, individual ancient trees I have relationships with. I think of “my” river, the Saco, skimming over the surface in a canoe, the water so crystal clear I can see all the pebbles and rocks, and waving grasses under the surface. I think of fighting Nestle/Poland Spring (now owned by Blue Triton) in my hometown of Fryeburg, working to counter their corporate lies and deliberate obfuscation of the facts of hydrology, aquifers, the relationship between groundwater and surface water. I think of the bees in my garden and how, year after year, their numbers decreased. I remember the bats.

What does it mean to live within the living Earth? Awakening to this awareness in these crucial times is essential, living within it is the only way forward. How does this translate? How does Earth speak to you?
Gaia’s Voices represents the current evolution of my work that began in the early 1980’s: “creating an economy for the Living Earth”, deepened by over 25 years of learning the ways of the plants, making herbal medicine and natural perfumes; and listening to the voices, paying attention, feeling the energy, and sitting with it. To learn. To integrate. To feel. And eventually to share the stories and messages as best I can.
Gaia’s Voices explores questions, and offers inspiration, ideas for action, and resources. Over the next few weeks and months, new content will be added. Come back frequently to see what’s new!
