You have come to the website of the Goddess Association in Australia (GAIA Inc) an organisation dedicated to supporting the growth of the Goddess community in Australia. GAIA Inc is an incorporated, not-for-profit, membership organisation, which brings together a diverse range of women and men who are committed to bringing the Divine Feminine back to prominence in our society.

On this site you will find information that will assist you to connect with others who are on a similar journey, news about events and learning experiences, membership opportunities and benefits and updates about our annual conference.

We believe that the return of Goddess is crucial for the healing of our planet and we welcome your interest and involvement. We are committed to educating the wider community about Goddess, She of 10,000 names and faces who has be present in every culture since the beginning of time.

In October 2011 we held our sixth annual Australian Goddess Conference; a weekend of ceremony, ritual, storytelling, teaching, music, dance, workshops, creative play & festive feasting. All are our vehicles for healing of our communities and our Earth Mother. Preparations are already underway for next year's Conference, and we are always happy to receive your feedback and ideas.

In 2012 our theme for the Australian Goddess Conference is The TRANSFORMATION.

Call for Workshop Presentations for 2012 Australian Goddess Conference

GAIA Inc. is currently planning its annual conference to be held on the Gold Coast in October 2012. We are calling for proposals for workshops/ sessions on the theme of Transformation.

The conference provides a cauldron or a cocoon; a safe and sacred place in which transformation can occur in our selves, in our relationships with others and in our connection with community and the Earth. Transformation can be seen as:

the act or process of transforming.
the state of being transformed.
change in form, appearance, nature, or character.

Transformation is profound in its effect; greater than change it takes the component parts and turns them into a new creation. In the symbolism of the conference change results in a better caterpillar while transformation results in a butterfly.

We will have 8 long workshops of 2.5-3 hours each. Each of these will need to have the capacity of involving about 50 participants. There will also be shorter workshops of 1.5 hours, which will be called for at a later date and can have smaller groups.

In thinking about a possible presentation/workshop please consider the following areas:
Personal Transformation: How do we become all that we imagine we can be? How do we embrace wholeness?
Transformation in/through Relationship: How do our relationships transform us and how can we transform our relationships?
Community Transformation: How do we re-vision our communities to create the world we want for our children?
Deep Ecological Transformation: What is our role individually and collectively in changing the way the Earth is treated? What are our connections and relationships with Goddess?

By fully living our Goddess selves we bring a different energy to every aspect of our relationships - with ourselves, our work, friends and family and the world in which we live. By living with Goddess we become the change, the transformer and The Transformation.

The Committee is looking for workshops in each of these areas. Workshops can be in the form of learning circles, movement, music and dance, creativity, shared experience and scholarship.

Presenters will be offered a discounted rate for the conference. If you are interested please go to the GAIA Inc website and complete the proposal.
