Looking For Board Members
Interested in becoming a part of our team?
Since its inception in 2003, the Centre for Earth and Spirit Society (CESS) has been
offering life-affirming programs that inspire consciousness for human responsibility to
the Earth. The CESS is a non-profit organization with charitable status whose mission is to offer sacred spaces for cultivating meaningful conversation, contemplation, and
community. Through world-view shifting action, we co-create opportunities to deepen
relationships and reciprocity with the Earth and all beings.
Our offerings currently focus on embodied eco-spirituality, end-of-life, and somatic wellbeing. Our experienced facilitators host regular weekly and monthly programs (online and in person), contributing to expanding intergenerational and cross-cultural
communities of care. Future areas of interest include land and place-based experiences and natural burials.
