What we’re about
Wellspring Spiritual Community is part of the Wild Church Network. While we are connected to the network, we are an interreligious and interfaith community that practices radical welcoming. Our core spiritual practice is sacred storytelling, and we also encourage a variety of other rituals that support spiritual growth, connection, and healing.
The information below is sourced directly from the Wild Church website; however, please note that Wellspring is an autonomous community.
We are also affiliated with The Current Spiritual Community, a fully online spiritual community.
A Movement is Emerging...From isolation to connection.From detachment to immersion.From dualism to interBeing.
In this age of mass extinctions, we feel compelled by love to invite people into intimate relationship with some of the most vulnerable victims of our destructive culture: the land, waters, and creatures with whom we share our homes.
New Wild Churches are emerging all the time, offering invitations to reconnect with the natural world. As kin. As sacred. As beloved co-participants in a larger story of grace and inter-being.
Wild Church gatherings offer opportunities for contemplation, grief and praise, movement and song, solo wandering and wondering, advocacy, ecological restoration and activism on behalf of and in collaboration with the beloved others in our watersheds.
The old paradigm of "nature as other" is shifting. Wild Churches don't just "meet outside," they gather to recognize and learn to participate in the kindred interconnection of all beings, elements, and places. It is a relationship, rooted in love, that the ancients desc
ribed as Logos.
