Mission Statement
The Gaiafield Center for Subtle Activism (GCSA) is an action research center and networking hub based at the California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, USA to advance the study and practice of subtle activism. Subtle Activism is an activity of consciousness or spirit, such as prayer, meditation, or ecstatic dance, intended to support collective healing and social change.
The GCSA is the home of the Gaiafield Project, a sustainable program of subtle activism initiatives developed collaboratively by leaders in the field. The GCSA aims to connect people around the world through love, compassion, and awakened consciousness to support collective healing and positive social change.
