About the Author: Gaia Farmhouse Retreat and B&B
This eco-spirituality retreat offers single guests or small groups a unique experience. The old Barry Homestead, surrounded by ancient precambrian hills, coniferous and deciduous forests, is located in the Algonquin Highlands. Here our guests can physically rest, play and celebrate life. On the paths, walkways, and cosmic labyrinth you can discover new perspectives to inspire you intellectually and spiritually. These lands will nurture your being and becoming.
Gaia farmhouse Retreat and B&B is dedicated to the health of your personal and planetary body, the evolution of consciousness, living within Earth's means, and contributing to a resilient future.
We offer unique experiences woven through with ecology, cosmology, spirituality, evolutionary consciousness and joy.
From grains, bread connects us to soil and a three billion year old process. Photosynthesis, first begun when ocean organisms, earth's first populations, with neither brains or bibles, learned how to create a chlorophyll molecule. Since then all biological life is able to trap, store, and convert sun's energy into food that sustains both the plant and that specie's place in the food chain. Like the elements connect Christians to the nourishing ways of Jesus, food unites us to our ecology and the life-sustaining ways of nature itself. Communion, it is not only a rite of Christianity, it is the evolutionary levan in the Earth story itself.
