Gaia United is a community based organization, created with the intention of uniting, first and foremost; local communities, with opportunities to expand into wider community bases.
Our main audience is the youth (aged 16 and under) but we also welcome ALL members of the community, both young and old. Our aim is to build connections within the community in order to build; strong, healthy, long-lasting relationships between all members and to teach appreciation of our Mother Earth and all inhabitants. We intend to accomplish our mission by means of creativity, mindfulness, self-sustainability, equality and of course LOVE. Love being at the core of our mission. Love for one another, Love for nature, LOVE FOR LIFE.
Our intention is to create a 'Safe Haven' for the youth, a place they can go to and be themselves completely, where they will have necessary support to explore their own abilities in their own time, without fear of judgement or discrimination, where they can meet and interact with a diverse range of other cultures with the potential to learn from each other in the process.
This will be done by means of:
• Creating indoor and outdoor spaces specifically for this purpose.
• Organizing workshops - art, music, horticulture, self-awareness, self-sustainability, and more.
• Organizing community 'Clean up/resurrection' projects involving both youth and adult members of the community.
• Providing the necessary support required in order to assist all members on the journey of 'finding their place in society', for them to be able to explore the many different options available before deciding on their chosen paths.
• Involving all members in decision making, project funding/fundraising etc.
Giving them a sense of their own responsibility as part of a team, which in turn will also gain them experience in team building progressively building a society that can consider how their actions can affect not only themselves but the wider community.
