Wild Church Description:

The Wild Church of Sacred Remembering is a nature-centered spiritual community rooted in the belief that much of what we seek is not something new to discover, but something ancient we are being invited to remember.We gather in relationship with the living world—among trees, beside water, around fire, beneath the changing sky—to remember that we belong to the Earth and to one another.Inspired by Celtic earth-based traditions and the wisdom of those who came before us, we honor the turning of the seasons, sacred thresholds, ancestors, grief, ceremony, story, and the more-than-human world. The land is not simply the place where our church happens. The land is teacher, sanctuary, and participant.Sacred remembering asks us to remember what modern life can make easy to forget: that we are part of nature rather than separate from it; that grief and love belong together; that our ancestors live forward through the ways we choose to live; and that tending our relationship with the Earth is also a way of tending our own souls.Our gatherings may include time in silence, wandering the land, fire and water ceremonies, drumming, storytelling, seasonal rituals, grief tending, ancestral practices, shared reflection, prayer, song, and simply sitting together in the presence of the living world.There is no single belief required here. We welcome mystery, questions, different spiritual paths, and those who may not have a name for what they believe.We come together to practice belonging rather than believing.To remember the sacredness of the Earth.To remember our ancestors and consider the ancestors we are becoming.To remember how to grieve together.To remember how to listen.To remember that humans are only one voice within a much larger community of life.And perhaps most importantly, to remember how to love this living world—and one another—well.Come as you are.Bring what you carry.The land will meet us there.
