About Us
“College students should feel that they are participating in one of the most significant ventures ever to take place in the entire history of the planet.” ~ Thomas Berry
The Gaia Community College exists to inspire movement towards the reintegration of our species within the greater community of life and the furthering of conscious planetary evolution. We are inspired by the writings of Thomas Berry, Brian Swimme, Eckhart Tolle, the art of Alex Grey, the online Global MindShift project, the Gaia (formerly Zaadz) community, and many others who have offered powerful visions towards our potential both as a species and as a planetary awareness. It is our express mission to playfully highlight these and other sustainable thoughtforms through this website. We are also home to the “Ignorant or Elegant?” test, which we encourage you to find out more about and implement in your daily life.
We encourage you to support The Gaia Community College by learning the Great Story and telling it. What is the Great Story you ask? It is the telling of our creation story with the understanding and insights we’ve earned scientifically but told poetically through the heart. It is the act of giving meaning to science, and thereby activating the greater realm of what science truly has to offer.
You can also spread the word by linking to us (please!), RSS subscribing to our pages, social bookmarking us, giving us Shout Outs! wherever you go, and the wearing and display of G.C.C. apparel. Together we can envision our way towards a healthier community. Together we will Birth the New Earth!
“To learn how to live graciously together would make us worthy of this unique, beautiful, blue planet that evolved in its present splendor over some billions of years, a planet that we should give over to our children with the assurance that this great community of the living will lavish upon them the care that it has bestowed so abundantly upon ourselves. ” ~ Thomas Berry
The Gaia Community College was conceived and created during the summer of 2007 by sonic storyteller Eric Geoffrey as a facet of his VoxGaia project and as a contribution to the ever deepening awakening of our planet earth.
