About Us
Connecting you with Mother Earth & All Our Relatives
The mission of Church & Community of The Earth is to co-create, evolve, and promote a grounded wisdom based on indigenous traditions and values.
This is to encourage understanding of the basic unity of our Worldwide community and our intimate connection and interdependence with all creation and our Mother Earth.
Together, we are on a spiritual journey. When you become a member of Church and Community of the Earth, you make a commitment to protect the earth and all our relatives.
Our cathedrals are within the sacred groves of the giant trees ~ oak, cedar, ash, redwood ~ that give us breath under the open sky.
Our prayers are for the pure waters of lake, stream, river that quench our ever-lasting thirst. We honor the gentle contours of hill and vale, and the majesty of Mother’s mountain breasts that feed our every need.
We congregate with our Ancestors, the Swimming, Flying, Walking, Standing, Stone, Star Beings and Creeping ones who are our brothers and sisters.
Since 2006, Church and Community of the Earth, a U.S. 501c3 NonProfit, has grown from a small community headquartered on Maui, Hawaii, to local and virtual online memberships with Worldwide Community in the United States, Canada, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Asia.
Each member, online and in each community, is committed to stewardship of Mother Earth.
