From Stardust, to all we know, the long journey through time has drawn us to here and now. Here in Gaia's arms as we continue the evolving journey.

This year at Free Activist Witch Camp, we weave the creation story of Gaia, one of many names given to the Earth Mother. Gaia is Earth, a whole and intricate living organism, at one time worshiped in all cultures, by all people. It is from Her that all life is birthed and to whom all life returns when it dies.

In times and places outside of the dominant culture, humanity lived in balance and harmony with Gaia, conscious of our deep interconnectedness with all living things.

Symptoms of imbalance, war, disconnection, and oppression haunt the land. Many believe that globally we are on the verge of collapse. There have been five recorded mass extinctions in Earth's story; we may be on the brink of the next. Culturally, systemically, communally, bodily what does this mean to us?

We come together with Gaia to celebrate and share the remembering of the ways we honor and love Mother Earth. Through Her, we return to our connectedness, with all life that is this planet. The microcosm of ourselves, our relationships, and our communities expands to include the macrocosm of Gaia. Together we walk a path back home.

May we find our place as we recognize ourselves as Gaia's cells working in harmony, whatever our unique calling may be, to restore balance.

Together at Free Activist Witch Camp, we weave ourselves into the Gaia Story, embracing our connections with the Earth Mother and each other.

Come home with us.
