Wild Spirit

Why? Because we want to. Because we are people who feel happiest, most alive, most able to engage with the divine as we understand it, in the open air. Because we have a lot more questions than answers and would like to explore them together with other like-minded people. Because we look at the world and see wonders.

We began to do this, then heard of a movement called Forest Church. We are not the same, but this edited extract from the vision statement on their  website makes sense to us.

“For many the spiritual journey is most easily followed in nature; along the shore, through the forest, over the mountain – as well as in the garden and the park. Markers along the journey include moments of captured wonder: the perfect sunset, a sacred place, the sound of a waterfall or the taste of freshly harvested produce shared with friends. It feels natural to give thanks or say ‘wow’ and somehow find that the experience includes something of the divine.”

You can read the full version here, and the website is well worth a look.

So that’s why. Come here to find out how.
