“The new myth for our time comes
from the same source as dreams.
This must be to rediscover earth as sacred, as the source of life here and
now. As long as we conceive of divinity as outside or above us, there's
no way we can change our course. This is the excitement of our time, to
know that this is our birthright; if we don't discover it, we won't survive.
So whatever creativity you have, follow it!"
– Joan Marler, one of fifteen visionaries in Dancing
With Gaia |
Many adults cannot recall the feeling of lying
belly down on the earth, or harvesting plants as food. Many
of us also feel disconnected from our basic right to experience
joy in sexuality.
Earth energies,
sacred sexuality and the living earth as Gaia are deeply connected, and Dancing With Gaia shows how they
can be personally experienced.
At the
meeting place of these ideas is a profound insight on how we can shift
into Gaian consciousness. Filmmaker
Jo Carson traveled throughout Europe, the Mediterranean and the US, filming the
sacred sites of ancient earth-centered religions. She interviewed fifteen visionaries
who explain how to release the constrictions that keep us from experiencing the
earth as part of our own body, and give us tools to begin personally feeling
the life of the planet.
We need new
myths to live by, which include the experience of earth and
our bodies as sacred. As
Joan Marler says, "As long as we conceive of divinity as outside or above
us, there is no way we can change our course." But by honoring our
relations with each other, the earth and our own bodies, we can create a future of balance and beauty.
