Gaia Speaks Priestess Training
Daughters of the Greening offers two courses in Sacred Ecology.
Gaia Speaks is a 16 month course divided into four levels. The
Journey Home is a four week introductory course to the Gaia
Speaks program.
What is Sacred Ecology? It is the study of nature and the world
around us from a spiritual perspective. When we see the Earth as
a living being, and we understand that this world that we see with
our eyes is not the only reality, then we are on the path of Sacred
Ecology. When we see all living things as sacred and realize that
we are neither above nor beneath any other living being, we are on
the path of Sacred Ecology. When we view the Earth as our
Mother and treat Her with respect and conscientiousness, we are
on the path of Sacred Ecology.
