RavenCircle's Earth Lodge

The Earth Lodge vision is to create an empty space in which people may retreat from distractions of the world and get back in touch with stillness. Participants emerge with a greater understanding of and connection to awareness within and outside of themselves. Earth Lodge holds to no singular religion, path or expression of the spiritual while maintaining respect for all religions and spiritual beliefs. The Earth Lodge aspires to create an environment where all are free to speak their hearts and minds as well as feelings and experiences when they deem appropriate. The Earth Lodge respects the boundaries of individual experiences within the lodge with mindfully honoring what has been shared as sacred. The Lodge encourages respect of other people's words through the experience of a sacred community.

"You must understand that knowledge cannot be turned into words. That knowledge is there for everyone. It is there to be felt, to be used, but not to be explained. One can come into it by changing levels of awareness, therefore, heightened awareness is an entrance. But even the entrance cannot be explained. One can only make use of it.” ~ Carlos Castaneda
