Today's Entry: Treesong

Gaia House Interfaith Center is a community center that means many things to many people. For over half a century, this unique building has been a place to meet new people, share meals with friends and neighbors, get involved in environmental and social justice projects, and explore a wide variety of spiritual practices and philosophical teachings. There are many people and groups that call this place home, and many ways in which this Center serves the Southern Illinois community. However, Gaia House is on the verge of closing due to a lack of sufficient funding. Without your support, our doors will close sometime within the next month or two, and this community treasure will be lost forever.

NEWS AROUND THE CENTER

Gaia House Interfaith Center SignSpring has sprung and the old is quickly making way for the new. You may have noticed one of the biggest changes around Gaia House that happened in the last month: We have a new sign! Designed and illustrated by Gaia House regulars and funded in part by a grant from Carbondale Main Street, the new sign is an eye-catching blend of imagery and information. But what does it mean, and why did we choose the design that we did?
