Wild Earth Spiritual Community
FORMERLY CHURCH OF THE WILD DC-MD-VA
We seek to live in deeper relationship with Earth, Divine Presence and each other. We gather twice monthly in sacred, natural woodlands in the Metro DC area. We are a diverse, inclusive and inter-spiritual community. Our gatherings combine contemplative spiritual practices with songs and chants, drumming, silent wandering and fellowship. Our practices enhance and grow our commitment to Earth and Her Beings, informing the work we do individually and collectively in the outer world.
​
We are a member of the Wild Church Network.
Upcoming Gatherings

DATE CHANGE:
Council of All Beings on April 6th
is a community ritual of empathy and connection begun by wise elders Joanna Macy and John Seed. This approximately two-hour ritual consists of a gathering where we speak on behalf of the non-human world and receive their gifts for continued healing and protection of our planet. Participants come dressed (loosely or not so loosely) as an animal or plant who is suffering because of climate change. Speaking for that being, in that being’s voice, we shift from an egocentric to an ecocentric perspective, often leading us to creative knowing and reconnection.
