Wild Church
Sacred Echoes of Nature – Wild Church practices Sacred ceremonies that faciliate open and clear communication and connection with Mother Earth and all her children. We will greet and introduce each other and then move into some grounding movements. This will allow us to open to Spirit as we read poems and offer a land acknowledgment. It will then be the time to solo wander for 30 minutes, time to commune with the Natural World, inside and out.
After the wander we will share thoughts, emotions, feelings and lessons learned while on the wander. All are given a time to speak or not. All speaking is from the heart as we listen from our hearts. Then it is CommuniTEA time where we share Mother Earths bounty in treats and tea. A Wild Church may last up to 1.5 hours, Bring clothing to match the seasons, a foldable chair and liquid to hydrate.
