“Putting Church With The Wild Reframes It…” October 27, 2022
After experiencing burnout, a seminarian decides to recharge by centering nature in her sacred practices and rituals in Ojai, California.  Within six years Victoria Loorz's exploration and experimentation sparked a new movement – The Church of the Wild. Today over 100 local groups meet outdoors for church or what many simply call gatherings.  In this conversation, Loorz describes what holds the network together and how eco-spirituality offers enough commonality for people with different identities and beliefs.

Victoria Loorz, M.Div. "Wild church pastor," "eco-spiritual director," and co-founder of several transformation-focused organizations focused on integrating nature and spirituality.  She founded the Church of the Wild, in Ojai California, and the ecumenical Wild Church Network. Victoria is co-founder and director of Seminary of the Wild.
