Pascha's Gaia Wellness Center

    Pascha's off-the-grid solar powered sustainable home in Colorado. Features include solar electric, gray water, on-demand hot water, Earthship design and much more. Pascha, with much help, built this incredible home herself.

  Gaia Wellness Center sits quietly in the Rocky Mountains near Guffey, CO. A private, safe retreat space for all who seek to leave their "fast track" & rest & renew for awhile. Hike 28 acres of pristine land, walk the labrynth, meditate in the Spirit lodge, relax in the hot tub, enjoy the solitude, dream by a crackling bonfire. Yoga, dance, music, massage, a library & great food are offered. Your donation helps further the work of the Center. For reservations or further information:

Pascha

    What a fantastic 3-day exploration with Pascha, womon of endless abilities, as we build on the concepts Erin introduced during the fantastic weekend Permaculture Exploration that started our Sustainability Intensive.

     Pascha has such a grasp of how sustainability is a worldview and way of life. We are conscious of our values and live them choicefully.

  Pascha    ….who is this womon?

Pascha is 67, living with herself  in Gaia (Goddess of the earth) an earthship which she built over a span of 10 years from ages 54-64.   Gaia is now functioning as theGaia Wellness Center, a space for retreatants to come for rest, renewal and time away from the fast track of life to search within.   It is remotely settled  in the center of 28 acres of pristine Rocky Mountain land, with a cabin and a lodge for private space,  a labyrinth, outdoor hot tub, spirit lodge and sacred fire circle.

     Pascha was married for 28 years, has 4 children and 7 grandchildren, and is now happily living a lesbian lifestyle.   She worked in a career of Medical Technology for 25 years and has enjoyed being a Massage Therapist for the past 20 years.

Her heart has a desire to speak to empowerment of wimmin.....how to turn our conditioning from inadequate to belief in ourselves;  from needing brute strength to using our intelligence and tools; from following the old traditional drummer to marching to our own rhythms and patterns.

 Her personal transformation as she  built for over 10 years is one she  enjoys sharing, as the  fearful Pascha who began the Gaia project is far different from the more empowered  Pascha of today.
