Welcome to the Church of the Earth
The Church of the Earth has been hosting rituals and social gatherings for the followers of Earth-based spiritual paths since 1999. Our rituals are always open to the respectful public.
If you are an eclectic solitary, a druid with an active grove, or just “Spiritual”, with no path other than the one you are finding as you go, the Church of the Earth may be a place where you can find friends, joining a community that agrees on these four basic tenets:
I believe every person’s religious belief is correct, for them.
The Earth is my Mother; I cherish and protect Her in all things.
I learn from the past and from my elders as I create my own future.
I, and I alone, am accountable for my actions.
How do I get involved?
Gatherings
We have many gatherings every month, including morning circles, full moon rituals, Sabbats, classes, and social gatherings. We use Meetup to maintain a calendar and allow everyone to RSVP so leaders can plan events and supplies.
