Meet the Gaia Team

Hello there lovely people! This is for our official "About" page for the Gaia Team. I'm thrilled to be serving you all and glad to tell you a bit more about me :)

Name: Jessica Farley

Title: Evolutionary Connector

What's your role at Gaia Community?

I wear many hats here at Gaia and I love them all. On the Membership Actualization Team (MAT) I serve as a community organizer and have spearheaded our offline grassroots events. I work with our Ambassador program and maintain communications with members who have volunteered their time and energy to spread the word and share the love of Gaia. I also manage our scholarship program (did ya know we give away four scholarships per year? Check out the info here!) I am our event coordinator and planner for trade-shows and festivals and I have helped coordinate our print marketing materials. I am part of our Business Development team and have been working on product development and marketing for Gaia Pro with the rest of our amazing Pro team. Finally, I have spent time nurturing and supporting our partnership and marketing efforts. (That’s why my title is a little unconventional; it covers all of that!)

I’ve been with this community since day one (as a member, but started working (officially) shortly thereafter). And, I’m proud to be here and see how things have blossomed and grown. Some of my projects are more new to me than others, but you can be sure, they will become robust and expand as we all move forward.

What do you most enjoy doing (or what are your greatest passions)?

I love gaining wisdom, growing, working to break through delusion and overcome obstacles. I strive to express my immense love and passion for helping people with clarity and purpose. I am happiest and most fulfilled when I can help someone grow.

I love a lot about life! I seek meaning in all that I do, and often I find it by hugging, teaching, cooking & sharing delicious, artistic vegan food, analyzing literature and film, laughing with my friends and my beau, meeting new people & fuzzy creatures, listening to others talk about their dreams, learning to see more deeply into myself and the human experience, hanging out in the sunshine and going to the theater ;)

What's your favorite thing about our community?

It’s our potential to make a beautiful and positive impact on the world created by the passion of the people here, all of the members and the Team. I appreciate the depth, sincerity, and profound good will of so many at Gaia (& Gaiam). I believe we have the opportunity to create so much together. We have already done a great deal by maintaining this exceptional community and we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg. I am very excited about what is in store.

What do you love about working here?

I love the purpose driving this company and this community and working with people such brilliant, incredible human beings. I love the creativity and collaborative spirit of our work. I love that we can all contribute (including the members) and make a big difference. It’s amazing that everyone on the Team (and all those I’ve met in the community) care so much about doing the right thing, serving and being authentic. Aren't they cool?!?! Aren't YOU!?!?

I am very very grateful.

Meet the rest of the Gaia Team!
