(What's this?)

These wiki pages are for all members of The Wooded Way to contribute their knowledge and wisdom in order to build a working encyclopaedic handbook of The Wooded Way as an ongoing reference tool. If you have specific knowledge on any field of significance to The Wooded Way, ranging from themes of sustainable living to health and spirituality, please feel free to add your own wiki sub-page that can then be linked to related terms, themes and topics from the main page.

THE WOODED WAY PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

Core Tenets:

The recognition that the Earth is a living, sentient being in her own right and that she is called GAIA, the Mother.

The recognition that GAIA is a part of the body, consciousness and nature of the Universal GOD, the Father.

The recognition that all life on Earth, including humankind, is symbiotically connected with unique roles to play as part of the singular oneness of Gaia.

The recognition that there is no unique divinity of Humankind over and above any other form of life on Earth.

The recognition that all life is sacred and that to unnecessarily harm other living things is also to harm the body of Gaia, and thus, our selves.

The recognition that all life on Earth needs air, water and nutrition in order to live and, as such, we must strive to maintain the basic building blocks of life in as clean and pure a state as possible.

The recognition that, currently, due largely to the unconscious activities of humankind over the ages, Gaia is in a state of dis-ease and requires our assistance to heal (and vice versa).

The recognition that the most healing power that exists is Love, and to love life is to heal Gaia (and our selves).

We recognise that our current way of living on Earth is unsustainable and that we need to re-address how we choose to live as part of the Gaian symbiosis.

We believe that a return to a Gaia conscious, community-orientated, extended family model whereby part-time resources and family responsibilities are shared, yet still hold respect for the need for personal space, is a far more sustainable way of living.

We believe that a 'Primalist' philosophy free from material and emotional excess is achievable.

We believe in adopting an approach to life based on sustainable technologies in everything from energy supply, to building, food and transport is also achievable.

It is our intent, over time, to build the first independent, 100% Gaia Conscious intentional community in Australia to function as a transparent, living example of a new way of thinking about lifestyle for others throughout the world to learn from (Long-term aim).

It is our intent to manifest a number of linked 'havens' (such as the current GAIA DREAMSPACE) on other sustainable communities and eco-villages throughout the world that resonate with The Wooded Way philosophy of life.

It is our intent to build a living, global Wooded Way network for all to learn from, and to build an encyclopaedia of shared knowledge and wisdom for future generations.
