Welcome!
Gaia Community is an earth-based, pagan Unitarian Universalist congregation meeting in Shawnee Mission, KS. We meet every Sunday at 4 p.m. Each week we present either a participatory pagan ritual, a discussion forum, or a class. We also offer KidSpace, our children's program, during the service.
We welcome all who share our values and our commitments, regardless of age, race, color, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual or affectional orientation, or disability.
Above you see the food and goods donated to Harvesters by our community at 2011's God Auction. The total weight was recorded as 1,033 pounds! That's enough to provide 795 meals!

High Holiday: Imbolc (2012)
Sat, 12/10/2011 - 6:59pm — Jamie PetersWinter has been an odd season this year - late in coming, lacking in that glistening white snow that we associate with the season. But beneath the surface, the world waits and readies itself for its next adventure. With that in mind, we invite you to Imbolc as Gaia Community prepares for its own next adventure: moving! Whether we move with SMUUCH to their new home or to someplace else 'on our own', we are getting ready for changes. The last of winter, the earliest of spring, Imbolc is a time to get ready, gather your resources, and spring forth!
Special Ritual for Business (with tour beforehand)
Thu, 01/19/2012 - 9:29pm — webmasterGaia Community has an opportunity to become part-owner of a green, progressive community center in the urban core! The current owner of the property at 4327 Troost Ave wishes to form an LLC partnership among like-minded groups, and members of the Site Committee have been talking with her for several months. At the January 2012 Ritual for Business it was decided that we had enough information to go forward with a proposal to use our New Home Fund to purchase a 25% stake in the "Ubuntu Village" Limited Liability Corporation, which would run both 4327 Troost and 4329 Troost.
