Wild Church Online
Community is one of the essential aspects for Wild Church but sometimes we just can’t all be together.
Joining one of our online gatherings is a wonderful option for many folks and it brings together our diverse and spread out communities.
We love seeing folks from all over join our Wild Church online gatherings
and we hope to see you soon!
Join us for Wild Spaces
A monthly 30 minute spiritual practice to keep you grounded and growing! Join us online for a lectio divina practice using some of our favourite wild poems. Lectio divina means "divine reading" and refers to a contemplative, meditative style of reading a text, with space to reflect on the words, images and thoughts that arise as we listen.
Join us May 9th, 7:00pm for our last Wild Spaces until the fall. We want to give you time to play outside over the spring and summer months!

From the flyleaf if Collisions of Earth and Sky
Research indicates that spending time in a natural setting provides a plethora of benefits, from lower blood pressure to increased immunity to an enhanced sense of well-being and happiness....Being connected to nature helps us be more fully human and better planetary citizens. [This book] is an invitation to live in a way that is attuned to nature, paying attention to what's going on inside ourselves and in the larger collective...A collection of reflections, poetry, and invitations to discovery, Collisions of Earth and Sky calls you to celebrate what it is to embrace wildness as an integral part of being fully alive.
