Help us refine our vision. At a retreat on April 17, 2010, thirty-five Gaia House Interfaith Center volunteers gathered at First Presbyterian Church of Carbondale to re-envision the Center's future. For several years the concept of building Gaia House, an ecological residential college, captured our imaginations. Set-backs due to changes in the national economy led us to consider ways to incorporate the Gaia principles in our current facility.

Maurine Pyle led the retreat, which resulted in the following listed values that affirm the direction of Gaia House Interfaith Center. This forum is a place where you can read about and discuss these core values and assist us in making concrete actions to further our mission.
