Gaea is the ancient Greek name for Mother
Earth. Gaea Retreat is a 168 acre property just about 40 minutes from the Kansas City Area. Formerly a church camp,
it is now a Non-Denominational Retreat for camping, day use, and conferences for individuals and groups of a wide
variety of spiritual and religious beliefs and philosophies.
Gaea includes a 12 acre lake with a sand swimming area. There are many areas for tent camping, sports, and other
outdoor activities. |

Buildings include a large open pavilion with stage and folding chairs, an air-conditioned
meeting hall, a dining hall and kitchen, and nine cabins. Flush facilities and heated showers are available. The
cabins are equipped with bunk beds, and one cabin, for special health needs, is air-conditioned.
Gardens and secluded areas provide quiet places for meditation or simple relaxation
There is plenty of wooded area to explore and hiking and biking trails are maintained. It is an absolutely amazing
place. |

There are these wonderful places hidden away at Gaea...places with names like the
Pixie Sticks, the Fairy Gate, Hearn's Hollow, Venus Sanctuary, Elysium, Davawood, Blood Trail, and Memorial Grove.
Where else will you find a stone alter surrounded by a magical circle of stones on the shore of a crisp clean lake?
Where else will you find a gate to the fairy world, where you can leave sweets and shiny trinkets to please (or
possibly appease) the mysterious fairies or alfs that frequent the nearby woods? |

Much of the information for this page came from the Gaea Retreat webpage
and the Friends
of Gaea Yahoo Group.
We're looking forward to holding Lightning Across the Plains at Gaea Retreat. And looking forward to gathering
with Tru heathens in our Region. Even though we've only reserved a portion of Gaea for our gathering, all of Gaea
will be yours to explore.
