A Vajrayana-style deity practice inspired by Tara with a visualization and mantra of Gaia that dharma teacher, Cynthia Jurs received during intensive practice in retreat and has worked with privately for many years.
This unique new practice of Arya Gaia (formerly known as Tara Gaia) will be taught on Thur-Sun January 19-22 in an online retreat via Zoom. This very special retreat will include a transmission ceremony, teachings, group practice, and Q&A.
There will be 4 sessions, one two-hour session per day beginning at 4:00 pm Pacific/5:00 pm Mountain/7:00 pm Eastern/12:00 am GMT/8:00 am Jan.19-23 in W. Australia. This is a live retreat based on direct transmission. Full attendance is required. Recordings will not be available.
Once one has received the teachings, an ongoing monthly practice group can be joined to deepen one’s understanding and keep the practice alive. For those familiar with the Earth Treasure Vase Global Healing Meditation, the Arya Gaia practice can serve as a profound enhancement to this practice as well.
Introduction to Arya Gaia
This video, “Cultivating a Sacred Relationship with the Earth” is an interview between Cynthia Jurs and Vanessa Fourcaudot, the founder of a 5 day summit held in January 2022, The Call of Gaia ~ Heart-led Female Entrepreneurship in Service to Life.
In this beautiful conversation, conducted in English, Cynthia Jurs shares her story of bringing healing and protection to the Earth through the Earth Treasure Vases and how she formed a relationship to Gaia and is now teaching this new meditation on Arya Gaia to help us form our own connection to the Earth as sacred activists dedicated to restoring balance and harmony in our world. The recording includes an introduction to the visualization of Arya Gaia and a short meditation-recitation of her mantra.
Cynthia Jurs met her root teacher, Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh in the early 1980s, and in 1994 received his transmission of Dharmacharya, becoming a teacher in his tradition, the Order of Interbeing. In 1990 she traveled to a remote cave in Nepal to meet the 106-year-old Lama Kushok Mangden Rinpoche, from whom she received the practice of the Earth Treasure Vases. In 2018 she was recognized as Lama Sherab Zangmo at Tolu Tharling Gompa in Nepal by Ngawang Tsultrim Zangpo Rinpoche. Today, Cynthia is forging a new path of dharma in service to Gaia, deeply rooted in the feminine, honoring indigenous traditions, and teaching an embodied, engaged, sacred activism dedicated to global healing and collective awakening. Cynthia teaches meditations and leads pilgrimages and through her nonprofit, Alliance for the Earth, works with former combatants in Liberia to build peace through mindfulness. Cynthia lives at the base of the Sangre de Christo mountains in northern New Mexico where she is often found walking in the wilderness with her dog or gardening with husband.
