Weaving Earth’s Wisdom Through Art & Action

As a decentralized, member-run 508c1a, we catalyze global cultural transformation by harmonizing humanity with nature through conscious art, community events, and regenerative design.

In 2025, our Tirta Drums project removed 1,000 pounds of plastic from Bali’s ocean-bound waterways, empowered Indonesian artisans, and blessed sacred water sites with prayers for healing.

Each drum, handcrafted with natural indigo dye, funds 50 pounds of plastic removal through Sungai Watch.

Our Mission

Gaia Temple drives global cultural transformation by uniting humanity with nature through art, community collaboration, and conscious design, creating regenerative solutions and synergistic communities. Our transformative events and initiatives blend ancient wisdom with modern innovation to empower individuals and inspire a harmonious, interconnected world.

  • State Capitol Festival

    Gaia Temple produced “Harmonize Humanity”, a day long event, live from the capitol of Austin Texas on 2.22.22. The spirit was an unforgettable gathering of hope, love and inclusion. The festival launched off with an Unleash! dance party on the front lawn, followed by an EFT session of love and liberty on the steps of the capitol, then string quartet and opera in the rotunda followed by live music and speakers. This event was live streamed in collaboration with Unify as an international festival and included speakers and artists from around the world.

  • Bali Musical Theatre

    Elemental Mysteries is an ongoing event series which gathers performing artists to recreate the origin story of Gaia through the perspective of each element.

    Recently performed at the Dragon Tea Temple in Ubud, Bali, Elemental Mysteries is an interactive tea house experience with live music, storytelling, fire spinning, kundalini activation and a finale DJ set dance. This collaborative production is of the Goddess as each women channels the element which she most embodies.

  • DAO Incubator

    Gaia Temple members attended and supported the production of Dao Universe’s 2023 & 2024 incubator, based in Bali. This month long gathering unites social entrepreneurs, impact investors, light workers and new paradigm system designers. Together, we immerse in daily workshops taught by attendees, skill sharing and catalyzing rapid professional, personal and spiritual growth. This growing network of individuals and organizations supports the development of an international grid of light. To learn more about the upcoming gathering this December 2025, send us an email.

  • UPGames

    The UP Game Experience is an adventure of a lifetime designing thriving futures. It’s a convergence of leaders, change makers and visionaries. Our goal is to create a collaborative container to share visions and solutions remembered from the future. This gathering is an experiment in co-creation, trust, vision and belonging. There is no organising team as such behind this but rather a real time co-creation of magic by us for the planet. Gaia Temple is a collaborative partner, and is planning a Spring 2026 gathering in Hawaii. To learn more about this gathering, send us a message.

Our Vision

Gaia Temple unites futurists, artists, activists, social entrepreneurs, light workers, philanthropic donors and systems designers to collaborate on meaningful projects.

As projects build momentum, a percentage of proceeds are directed into a land stewardship fund that will be invested in the funding of a sacred site of land. This land will become a 7 Generation community where we come together to unwind, release and be free.

The intention for this land initiative is to serve as an incubator and production center for the arts, permaculture, world peace and education. We aim to bring the old in with the new, weaving diverse vision with communities around the globe.

Our London Climate Change Forum initiative planted 64,000 trees in Tanzania’s food forests, empowering locals with four-year training to sustain ecosystems, restore biodiversity, and combat food poverty with diverse species.

Partnering with Dollar Donation Club and Trees for the Future, this member-led project supports carbon sequestration, alternative livelihoods, and a seven-generation vision for thriving communities.

Why Art Matters

Artists have learned to explore, create and ask questions. They move beyond the edges of societal convention and press the seams of reality. They cultivate the courage it requires to share their inner world with others and dare to be different.

It’s this authenticity that emboldens all of us, viewer and artist alike.

Art creates a ripple effect of unlimited possibility. It is a gateway to deeper contemplation and emotional connection. Art speaks to a shared intuition and the unprocessed collective experience of humanity. Art serves as a permission slip for each one of us to remember who we are, and compels us to do it our own way.

Water Speaks

“Water Speaks” is a collaborative art piece filmed in Ubud, Bali. It honors the cultural heritage “Agama Tirta” which means “worship of water”. Bali is one of the last water worshiping cultures still intact today. There are more water temples across the island than there are family neighborhoods. 

True to their generous nature, the Balinese communities have opened their traditions and rituals with the local expat communities. As a result, we have experienced symbiosis and harmony with the elements and nature in a mystical and life changing way. We want to share this with others. 

Created in partnership with Earthen, this video is a call to action for people to reconnect to the Spirit of Water, and with the Spirit of the Earth as a living, sentient being. For us to raise our voices for the voiceless, for Mother Earth. To recognize our ability and responsibility to take action for the Waters, Listen Here.

“Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.”
