Episode 49 - Church of the Wild

This is a conversation about discovering sacredness and deconstructing empire.

Church of the Wild brings nature, spirituality, and reverence together, regardless of specific religion. But many of us, despite feeling a spirituality in nature, are out of practice with prayer and have lost sacredness in our daily lives. 

This episode of Reseed is a conversation about how to find sacredness, and how doing so is a rejection of empire building, patriarchy, and violence. As sacred creatures, humans can build refugia: havens of growth in the midst of unstable terrain.

Guest Victoria Loorz is a wild church pastor, an eco-spiritual director and co-founder of several transformation-focused organizations focused on the integration of nature and spirituality. After twenty years as a pastor of indoor churches, she launched the first Church of the Wild, and is the author of Church of the Wild: How Nature Invites Us into the Sacred. 

Listen to hear more about how—at a moment where almost nothing is sacred—to find sacredness in our lives and in our wild world.
