Sacred Earth, Holy Connection: A Wild Church Experience
With Wild Church BC
July 8 - 12, 2024
M-F 9:45 am – 12:15 pm
Wild Church is a movement of people across the world who are deepening their relationship with the Holy by connecting more deeply with the natural world. In this new expression of church, Mystery is experienced, not explained. Creation holds the wisdom of Creator, and Wild Church invites us to pause and pay attention with all our senses, while encouraging us to begin to see the land and her more than human occupants as neighbours, and to help change the perspective from “this land belongs to us” to “we belong with this land.”
Come, dance in the forest and play in the field with Wild Church this summer!
But ask the animals and they will teach you; the birds of the air and they will tell you;
ask the plants of the earth and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you… (Job 12:7-8)
Join us as we seek the wisdom of these more than human teachers, learning to pay attention to the wisdom of Creator planted all around us.
Our time together will include a time of centering, readings from a variety of authors, and a time for quiet reflection on the land, followed by a time of sharing our experiences with one another. We will celebrate the interconnectedness of all life, recognize the holiness in our more than human neighbours, and seek to connect more deeply with Great Mystery.
