The Gaia Network is a Children of Gaia Kinfolk fellowship with the state purpose of keeping track of and organize their tribe.
Overview[]
Started by a group of Children of Gaia Kinfolk, the Gaia Network and the Gaia Youth Network comprise the largest Kinfolk network to date, a position it has held for over 30 years. The organization’s stated purpose is to keep track of the Children’s Kinfolk and Garou around the world, formulate policies and serve as an advisory body to all Children of Gaia septs. Kinfolk hold most of the staff positions, with a few Garou regulars helping the organizational effort.
While the Children of Gaia do not enjoy a reputation as the most organized group, the Kinfolk of the Gaia Network hope to corral the energy of the tribe’s many Kinfolk by enabling Kin and Garou to locate one another and to work together. It serves as an action organization, a way for Kinfolk and Garou singles to meet one another, and a way to encourage camaraderie within a group already known for its social outreach capacity.
The Gaia Network has recently opened communications with the Locksmiths, seeking a closer relationship, perhaps even a merger of the two groups. While Children of Gaia and the Glass Walkers may not seem likely partners, both groups believe in moving forward with the times. Some Children want to take advantage of new technology by using the expertise of the Locksmiths, while some Locksmiths want to learn some of the Children’s social ease with various elements of society. Other members of both Kinfolk groups remain adamantly opposed to anything more than careful cooperation.
While the Network accepts members on their own say-so, a number of members feel that younger Kinfolk trust too readily and fear that the organization may eventually become a liability to Kinfolk and Garou everywhere.
