SPIRITUAL COACHING, MENTORING & LEARNING FROM EACH OTHER
Our community offers a variety of educational opportunities, practices, and coaching services to help you identify what has HEART AND MEANING FOR YOU. Each of these is a doorway into our community and into your own heart. Some come and stay for a short while, others stay for longer wanting the full deal. Both are right and good.
At some of our offerings we pass the hat, at others we charge a fee. We have expenses. For those who have needs we have a sliding scale, volunteering, and scholarships. No one is turned away.
About Sacred Earth Alaska Learning & Creating Community
Our Mission
Our community, like the sacred Earth, is multicultural, multi-ethnic and deeply ecumenical. Our mission is
1. To reawaken our sense of the sacred within ourselves, within the earth and in this interconnected universe of cosmic wonder.
2. To make meaningful diverse community with those who realize caring about the earth and its life forms especially in this time of climate crisis is a spiritual practice.
3. To learn from the ancestral wisdom and join with other lovers of creation: scientists, teachers, mystics, artists, and activists who are doing the direct work in the arctic and the planet as an interdependent whole.
4.To restore with joy, struggle, creativity and gratitude, the balance within ourselves and in creation.
A Container for Transformation
Learning is not just the left brain stuff. Children know this.They are out there running and jumping, singing, dancing, playing, creating, imagining, listening and responding to their own hearts, bodies and minds, the whole earth, its creatures, and the stars. The goal of Sacred Earth Alaska is to remember that spirit within us and to keep that spirit of awe, wonder, and gratitude alive within us, and act from this deeper wisdom.
At Sacred Earth we are engaged in body, mind, and spirit practices as well as rational and intuitive study and expression. We also address the issues of climate adaptation and mitigation, looking for ways we can assist our planet. We offer creative opportunities for all of these. Sometimes we need specific interpersonal skills to move forward. We may need to increase our understanding of emotions, or our communication skills, or our stress management skills, etc. in order to enhance the journey. Life, love and inspiration happen in the present moment. How do we remain in the present moment to experience the gifts of where and who we are? Our study groups are designed to cultivate the natural ability to show up and be present to life, to ourselves, to each other, and to the Spirit of life. To these aims, we offer both online and in-person classes.
