Wild Church Denver is on pause for now. Why? I (Kelly) have joined UU Ministry for Earth as the Co-Director, focused on programs. I plan to focus my energy there, and hope you'll join in for Monthly Spiritual Gatherings and other events held there. 

Also, please join me on Wednesday mornings for meditation that is led using guided imagery, nature and energy work. Sign up here.

Here are the tenets of Wild Church Denver, which I'll be carrying on in these other ways. 

​Restore your connection to the web of life and deepen your spirituality - outdoors and in community. 
​Come to remember that we are nature.  We don't live on the land, we live with it. We can be in direct relationship with more-than-human life; a relationship of love.  If Spirit infuses and animates all of nature, when we connect with nature, we connect with Spirit. We defend what we love. So this kind of spirituality leads us to collective liberation of the earth and all the people who are historically marginalized and most impacted by climate change. Our ancestors knew all  about this. Come deepen your indigenous way of knowing. 
We will co-create with each other and the land using this general flow:
  • Create a sacred circle together while we engage all our senses
  • Honor your ancestors
  • Tune into place - acknowledge creatures, directions, elements, and ancestors of the land
  • Tune into time and season (see Wheel of the Year below)
  • Reading, short teaching or guided meditation
  • Contemplative activity - 30 minutes to connect with nature and Spirit
  • Conversation - an invitation to share 
  • Closing ritual with shared gratitude and blessings

Past topics include: 
  • Noticing the holy in the natural world and balancing masculine and feminine energies at the time of Beltane. Handout and photos.
  • Summer Solstice. Choosing joy over despair. Handout.
  • Asking a non-human being for perspective on the crises of our world. Handout.
  • Celebrating the harvest. What parts of your life are ripening? What would you like to finish and harvest? Handout and photos.​
  • Fall equinox. Handout.
  • The natural world shows us connection is the true source of joy.  Handout.
  • Honoring our ancestors. Handout.
