The Earth Association
We are animists and dirt worshippers.
Our gods are among the more than human plants and animals.
The ancestors, the dance between chaos and order, and the great mystery is our divine source of all things.
We don’t claim to know anything, and we don’t ask you to either. The key that brings us together is our love and respect for Earth.
While Spirit is often found and celebrated through community, at the end of the day your relationship to Creation and the Great Mystery is a personal journey and is yours to uncover and to honor.
We invite all people to interpret spirituality in their own unique way.
PRAYER
All things can be done in prayer.
We believe that singing, creating art, farming, dancing, pooping, cooking, dreaming, building, writing, camping, stargazing, helping a friend, resting, playing in the dirt, being joyful, grieving, eating, most everything and anything can be an act of prayer.
We believe our divine purpose is to engage with the planet as a being of creativity and self-expression. That we are meant to garden, forage, and hunt. We are born to nourish the dirt and eat from the earth. Being born on Earth is an opportunity to experience all that life has to offer. The depth and the darkness.
The beauty and the chaos.
The magic and the mysteries.
Prayer, is what feels right to you.
TEMPLE OF WORSHIP
The good news is, you’re already at church. And you’re already an earthling.
There is no “joining” this church, and there is no boundary to our temple. No walls, no “one way” of prayer and worship. There is no boundary between you and God.
The whole earth is our sacred house of worship. The waterfalls, the libraries, the kitchens, the hearths, the farmers markets---These are our cathedrals.
We believe that if you walk in a good way, then you can carry that sense of magic and respect with you everywhere. Any moment where you embody and honor life, is a moment of prayer in a holy place.
You are already know the way. You were born an earthling.
