Sacred Earth Alaska
a creation spirituality communityRe-membering
The modern world cast off the view of the earth as sacred, allowing a forgetfulness that has created an ecological crisis. But people often experience the wisdom of nature speaking to their souls. It is important to the earth itself and to our own health that we begin once again to listen and respond.
Recovering our Sacred Relationship
Where Land & People, Contemporary Science, Art & Spirit Come Together “The universe is a communion of subjects not a collection of objects …The ancient human-Earth relationship must be recovered in a new context, in its mystical as well as in its physical functioning. There is need for awareness that the mountains and rivers and all living things, the sky and its sun and moon and clouds all constitute a healing, sustaining sacred presence for humans which they need as much for their psychic integrity as for their physical nourishment.” ~ Thomas Berry
The Awareness of Heaven & Earth, Land & People, Art & Science Recovering Each Other
Re-awakening
To listen & respond to the scripture written in nature, in the aboriginal traditions, in the mystics of the world religions, in contemporary science, & in the wisdom of our ancestors, in the archetypal realms, and in our hearts; To respond once again by experiencing these enlivening natural relationships which give meaning within our lives.
Welcome to this statewide creation spirituality site for Alaskans who wish to renew our definitions of the sacred within ourselves, each other, the earth, and the universe itself; looking at creation as the ancestors of our many faiths once did, both theists and non-theists, as the first scripture, a sacred word given to us, a teaching to meditate on; listening and responding with what that means for us today. In this time of climate crisis and global warming how do we express this renewed relationship with the earth and all our relations in this beautiful arctic land on this beautiful planet.
Sacred Earth Alaska: A Learning & Creating Community
Sacred Earth Alaska is a local community that affiliates itself with Creation Spirituality Communities, a network of individuals and communities who experience our own spiritual paths in connection to the evolving paradigms of the earth and the universe.
Through study, community, and practice, Creation Spirituality Communities creates opportunities to deepen our compassion, justice, creativity, and vision for cultural transformation so that we all might experience our sacred connection to the Spirituality of Creation.
Explore your own heart, soul, spirit, life purpose and meaning, your values, your integrity, & creativity, your calling.
Learn the mystic wisdom stories, practices and rites of passage and rituals that the ancestors knew were important for your formation as a human being.
Learn about contemporary science, cosmogenesis and how it relates to the teachings & practices of the ancestors.
Explore where you are on your journey and the practical/ body/mind/spirit/ emotional skillsets that may be helpful for you at this time and moving forward.
Develop a practice that listens and responds to the communicating worlds within and without; and let your gifts and the needs of these worlds call you in creative passion to compassion & justice. What does that look like today for you?
Recovering a Sense of Wonder
“We will recover our sense of wonder and our sense of the sacred only if we appreciate the universe beyond ourselves as a revelatory experience of that numinous presence whence all things came into being.”
Thomas Berry
Becoming Cosmogenesis
“We have in a sense,
a new revelatory experience of the Divine
through our present understanding
of an unfolding universe,
a cosmogenesis rather than a cosmos.
Thomas Berry
Creation Spirituality and Science
Science with its grounded approach to the material world, and its soaring ventures into the universe, comes together with Creation Spirituality with its focus on the creation mystics' ways of knowing. No longer do we have to decide between the two - science or spirituality. Enthralled with each other in a wild and wonderful dance, these lovers belong together.
Both the Alaskan group Pamyua and Alaskan composer John Luther Adams create beauty and show us the possibilities when we listen and respond to creation with creation itself.
Pamyua (bum-yo-ah) is a musical group that has gained worldwide recognition. Founded by Inuit Yup’ik African American brothers Phillip Kilirnguq Blanchett and Steven Qacungatarli Blanchett, the group produces music with traditional Yup’ik and African-American elements to create what they call “Inuit Soul.” They are also the group behind the theme song for the @PBSKIDS show, @MollyofDenali. They hope to bring awareness to Alaska Native and Indigenous cultures by bringing their music and dancing to the mainstream media and around the world. Ocean Prayer is a drumsong that pays respect to the ocean for sharing her many gifts.
