Historically,
Gaia was the anci
ent Greek Goddess of Earth who, in Hesiod's Theogony of 700 BC, was the 'first to arise from chaos'. In the Homeric Hymn to Gaia of 500 BC, she was called 'Mother of all, the oldest one, the foundation'. Yet the term 'Gaia' is even older than Greece, coming from India a thousand years before. In Sanskrit, Gaya meant 'Moving Song' and, as the Gayatri Mantra, was the first hymn to arise from the original seed sound of Om. Gaia Pulses means that the Earth is alive! This is the only message. We choose to have a holistic vision of her as not dead, not governed by mechanistic laws, but rather animate, intelligent, purposeful - in a word, ensouled - a Zoon, a 'Living Being', as Plato called the Earth. By respecting the Earth we respect ourselves. By loving each other we become one. Covid Update/upgrade: We used to serve our wholesome meals daily at 'The Old Baths' in Hackney Wick but now we moved to 217 Ponsford street in Homerton.
