Facilitating Artistic and Ecological Action Locally (Español)

Gaia University is thrilled to announce the launch of a new degree pathway offered in partnership with the City Repair Project in Portland, Oregon. The City Repair pathway will be open to both Masters and Bachelors Associates. City Repair members will serve as specialist advisors for Associates, and will be intensively involved in the first orientation for the program, which takes place in Portland in May, 2010.

Participants from Five Continents in Attendance (Español)

The first Gaia University orientation in the Virgin Islands came to a close December 13th. It was the largest and most diverse group of new Associates thus far, with people from five continents in attendance, ranging in age from their late teens to mid-sixties.

The orientation took place at the Virgin Islands Sustainable Farms Institute (VISFI), located on the island of St. Croix. VISFI is currently in development to become one of an ever-growing number of linked Gaia University Regional Centers. VISFI’s founder, Ben Jones, graduated from the Gaia U OLE (Organizing Learning for EcoSocial Regeneration) pathway this October.

Incredible Growth and Redirection (Espanol)

2009 has been a year of incredible growth and new direction for Gaia University and its Associates.

Early in the year, twenty-five Associates and organizers came together at the Huehuecoytl Ecovillage in Mexico to share their goals and dreams for the project and strategize about ways to bring them to fruition. We are happy to announce that many of the visions that sprung from this gather-in have been manifested, including the creation of this monthly newsletter, which is meant to inform, inspire and connect the Gaia U network as well as bring news of Gaia U activities and developments to the public at large.
