The Society is founded on the principles of holding sacred the community; this is a fundamental concept in Animism, in which all community is of equal and respective status.
The Society is a non profit organisation committed to pastoral and tending work in and for all the communities we find ourselves in and are called to serve.
Those who walk the Animist Path have by that walking taken on the responsibility of tending the Earth and all the children of that earth family as their community.
The Constitution of the Society states amongst its responsibilities;
- To be a focus of the Universal Creator Spirit and Spirits, The Great Mystery and to ripple that compassionate energy, unity and healing outwards to the Sacred Earth, her children, to the Sacred Stars and the waiting Universe and to be a tending force for The Earth.
- To stand firm and provide a focus as spiritual warriors of love in times of despair or suffering as well as joy and celebration and to be agents of tending The Earth and all Her Children.
As part of these responsibilities, the Society donates and supports various organisations who take on that tending.
And maybe once in awhile we should pause and breathe our soul songs into that care we have given over the past years.
At any given moment we are both the children who need tending and the parents who tend.
From all the Society Gatherings and events, some small residue of monies is often left.
From those monies the Society maintains its commitments to community Gatherings & Conferences.
Along with that the Society provides for:
And as ongoing….
Sponsorship of our four children, Mory & Apolline in Mali, Shyamli in India and Prakash in Nepal through SOS Children’s Villages and the support of Bharatupur Village also in Nepal.
