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

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