...the divine and living Earth Jewel follows the Sun on the infinite spiral journey through space and time. Our own personal, familial, and societal health and well-being are intimately interconnected with and inextricably tied to the health of the divine chemistry and myriad systems of the sacred living Earth.

As the living systems. the fabric of Kannagara is under relentless attack by the forces of arrogance, greed and distortion to maintain the grounded positivity and big-hearted cheerfulness of Kannagara also naturally suffers. To realize our personal missions, we must be reinvigorated again and again so we may stand firmly on the living Earth, receiving vitality and inspiration to enter the current moment, the “middle of now” ― the pivotal point from which we can purify obstacles and effect real change. The mission of the Kannagara Earth Shinto Dojo is to faithfully and correctly conduct the core rituals of the ancient Shinto ―stimulating the KI of the Kannagara and also to support those seeking to come into conscious awareness of and relationship with the Divine and living Earth.
