We are so excited about Wild Church BC and the Wild Church Network hosting this Wild Church Network retreat June 13-16! This will be a space and a time to gather in-person to share, dream, co-create and co-learn, imagine, hope, make offerings to hold grief and joy and celebrate. This is a time for Sacred Conversations with one another, with the more-than-human kin, and with our soul.

The here are some of the highlights to peak your interest:

• Special guest and keynote speaker Victoria Loorz Author of Church Of the Wild and Founder of Centre for Wild Spirituality

• Conversation with Ideas: Workshops on a variety of topics offered by Wild Church leaders. A few ideas in the mix - The Book of Creation and Scripture, the Arts & Wild Church, Reconciliation and Appropriation, Celtic Spirituality, Shamanism and Wild Church, Restorative Justice with the Earth.

• Conversation with Groups: A different expression of  a Wild Church gathering will be offered daily

• Conversation through rituals, prayer, song

• Conversation with one another as relationships open 

• Conversation with silence and the more-than-human others at Five Oaks

About the Retreat Centre

Five Oaks Retreat Centre, Paris, ON, is an interfaith/intercultural spiritual center sitting on 116 acres of original territory of the Haudenosaunee Anishinaabe and Neutral people.  It sits on the confluence of two waterways, a sacred place for indigenous traditions. 

Forests and fields, river access, numerous walking trails, a labyrinth, and fire pits offer space for wanderings and gathering together. Accommodations are simple, ranging from camping sites to private rooms and everything in-between. 

Nourishing meals and snacks are included in the cost and vegetarian options are available.
