Wild Journey

August 13, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join us in returning to nature as spiritual practice! We will meet at Laguna Uplands Preserve in Sebastopol. Please bring a chair or blanket to sit on. We will have a 13×13 tent for some shade, but please bring water and sun protection. Children are welcome to participate as much or as little as they like.

Wild Journey is an emerging community of those who are returning to nature as spiritual practice and desire to include both the human and non-human world. Wild Journey is Christ-centered AND welcoming to all spiritual paths. We meet in various locations within the Laguna de Santa Rosa watershed rain or shine.

“I longed for church to be a place where Mystery is experienced not explained.” – Victoria Loorz, Church of the Wild

 

There are 4 movements within our time together:

Gathering & Grounding: Welcome, Greeting the land and each other, Grounding practice

Reading & Reflection: Poems, Seasonal thoughts & ponderings

Wandering & Wondering: aprox 20 minutes to encounter nature and listen deeply

Sharing & Sending: return to the circle to share and close with a blessing

 

You are also invited to linger in community afterwards. Bring a lunch and stay awhile for deeper conversation.

Bring a chair or blanket, dress in layers and comfortable shoes. You may want a journal to record your thoughts.

 

If you would like to join us, please reach out to [email protected] to be added to a mailing list that will receive the next meeting dates and locations.

Wild Journey is an expression of the God in Nature Pathway of Journey Center Santa Rosa and is a part of Wild Church Network.
