The primary purpose of the GAIA Learning Center is to educate and train men and women to become Priestesses and Priests in the areas of Art, Healing, Ecology and Ministry.  The GAIA Learning Center is also available to those individuals not seeking a ministerial credential but would like to pursue a path of life-enhancement and self-improvement.  We also offer Certification in various disciplines after completion of required work.

The GAIA Learning Center bases its curriculum on a matrix of studies which includes but is not limited to:  metaphysical studies, nature-based ideologies (including shamanism), world religions and interfaith studies, a vast array of healing modalities, environmentalism and religious responsibility, and a wide spectrum of art exploring the connection between creativity, healing and spiritual expression.  We recognize that education and learning is a living expression and is constantly evolving and changing. Therefore, our commitment is to make the learning experience at the GAIA Learning Center a living, breathing tradition which questions, expands, contracts, and evolves with time.

[Metaphysics is a belief system which covers a broad spectrum of ideas and concepts  and now encompasses many fields of interest  such as: philosophy, religion, spirituality, parapsychology, mysticism, yoga, ESP,  dreams, Jungian psychology, astrology, meditation, self-help studies, positive thinking, holistic healing, life after death, reincarnation, etc.  Many of these “disciplines” are ancient and share a common thread with earth-based religions.]
