Group Overview: We are an earthen-based group with many mini-groups (congregations) as part of our whole. We follow and endorse nature spiritual paths and earth religions. We know all religious and spirit paths are sacred and hold it’s own form of divine truth. We accept all traditions, paths and religions. Earth spirituality and nature honoring will the foundation of all that is within the circle. Pagan, Aboriginal, Shamanic, Judeo-Christian, Self-designed structured spiritual paths are all welcome.
Each person builds the path they walk for themselves and the intention in which they are here for. We allow people to adjust and change many aspects of activities and events within the circle for themselves and the path they are on. So each year is usually different then the last. Members are allowed and encouraged to take that which is healthy for them and leave that which is not within the circle. We do have a few rules and some guidelines which all members, visitors, and friends of the circle are expected to follow.
We do not usually hold open events to the public. There are some which is open to those who are interested in our group, and several more which welcome friends of the circle. Family is welcome at most gatherings, as well as close friends. A very few may be member only and All Official gatherings will be all-age based. There maybe addition and optional or late night additions to gatherings which may be adult only.
Group Overview: We closed the last couple of years for re-organization and now looking to get recognized as a Religious Organization and get 501 status.
We are people who are motivated to the unity of diversity, people willing to help create a strong community within our circle, our cities, our state and beyond as we grow. Each one of our congregations, covens, and temples are individuals designed around the needs of the members and the foundation of the CES tradition. We do not follow any specific religious tradition unless states by the group, and each ritual is distinctively different because of our ever changing evolution as individuals and as groups.
We work usually as groups to create new, able ceremonies and rituals to share. We know each person is a high priestess or high priest of their own path. Each person bring a sense of knowledge, innocence and truth that is meant to be shared to only those they know are worthy of such connection. Our covens, circles, temples and groves are all based within the ideals of community of all. All practices are sacred, all understandings of the divine is sacred, and all energy we give to each is a sacred gift. Our goals are to be a group of support and guidance for those open paganism and earth-based spiritual practices, we do not teach new members how to follow our path, but we do show them how to follow their own paths. We believe all religious and spiritual paths of our members, friends and the community as a whole is sacred and worthy of the same respect as we show towards our own faith and practices.
* We strive to keep our Ancestral ways as true to core spirits, within the real world, dream world and mental world.
* We honor the right of other cultures and religions to their own spiritual traditions and customs.
* We strive to promote and preserve the integrity heritage, through the teaching of teacher to student or within a face to face group. We endorse use of music, mythology, dance, literature, art forms and traditional cultural social values.
* We practice a ancestral cultural way of being one with the earth and the energy of the earth. We prefer to call ‘earthen’ as opposed to ‘Pagan’ or 'Christians' or 'Heathens' or 'Jews'
* We believe our culture and community is a living, (constantly evolving) tradition the empowers the individualism and creates the tapestry of community through that effort.
* Our spiritual and religious practices are inseparable from our culture. There is no separation between the secular and the sacred. There is no one who can lead someone, but there are knowledge which can be shared to aid someone.
* We do not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender orientation, or race, religious practices, spiritual enlightenment, and welcome all who seek to reconnect with Earthens and the many paths which we weave through our lifetimes.
