Welcome! Are you new to the Gaia Mandala? Please go HERE to let us know which of our new offerings, practices, pilgrimages or groups you are interested in! To learn more about our ongoing practices and offerings—read on!
Like the Earth Treasure Vases, we too are holy vessels filled with prayers and offerings. The Gaia Mandala Global Healing Community is here to support and encourage us to participate in the renewal of life on Earth.
From our deepest heart of hearts arise the ways that we are each called to turn our prayers for the Earth into action. Our group meditations, courses, retreats and pilgrimages are all opportunities to access your personal calling, go more deeply into practices of sacred activism and follow the path of collective awakening.
Here are our current offerings:

Leadership Program for Aspiring Change-Makers
A program for young adults between age 23 and 35
Becoming Earth Treasure Vase Stewards with Pilgrimage to Nepal
In June of this year, we will begin a very special hybrid program (online and in-person) in which a small group of young adults, ages 23 to 35, will be invited to cross the threshold into the adventure of a lifetime. The aim of this program is to empower one another to step more fully into our authentic life path, to cultivate a stronger sense of belonging to community (human and earth), to grow our resiliency and capacity to meet the myriad challenges of our times, and to discover and deepen our commitment to a path in service to life. In order to facilitate this process of growth and maturation, each participant will have the opportunity to craft and steward an Earth Treasure Vase, dedicated to a cause they care deeply about.
EARTH TREASURE VASE FULL MOON GLOBAL HEALING MEDITATION
Every full moon our global family gathers via Zoom for a guided meditation to direct our prayers and intentions towards the healing of the Earth. The Earth Treasure Vases being planted by our global community in 70 locations around the planet, filled with the prayers and offerings of thousands, have now formed a living mandala of powerful healing intentions.
When we concentrate on sending our love and prayers out wherever it is needed in whatever form is needed, we are taking the first step in participating in the restoration of our world. This is medicine for our times. The meditation includes an invocation of all the Earth Treasure Vase locations around the planet as a way to keep our prayers alive, energize the global mandala of 70 locations and embrace Gaia with our loving care and attention. At the end of the meditation we open an Earth Treasure Vase that serves as a receptacle for all of our prayers and intentions for the Earth. This vase will eventually be buried in a location as yet to be determined. This monthly meditation ceremony will renew your sense of purpose as we face global challenges together.
SUBLIME MOTHER GAIA TRANSMISSION & TEACHINGS
A Vajrayana-style deity practice inspired by Tara with a visualization of Gaia and a recitation of her mantra that our founder, Cynthia Jurs, received during intensive practice in retreat and has worked with privately for many years and is bringing forward now at this time of planetary unraveling and evolutionary change.
SUBLIME MOTHER GAIA RETREAT
The retreat includes a transmission ceremony, teachings, group practice, and Q&A. Once one has received the teachings, an ongoing monthly practice group can be joined to deepen one’s understanding and keep the practice alive.
