Tioughnioga Church of the Wild

Tioughnioga Church of the Wild

Thousands of years before organized religion became a part of human existence, our ancient brothers and sisters were deeply connected to a Spirit ~ present in all Creation ~ that fed their bodies and souls.  Each gathering of the Tioughnioga Church of the Wild is an opportunity to reconnect in a deeply spiritual/Creation centered way to the wonder and awe and majesty present in our journey around the Sun.  We meet outside eight times a year ~ not to replace             organized religion ~ but simply to mark the                            ancient days celebrating Creation in                      our journey around the Sun.

Victoria Loorz ~ founder of the Church of the Wild* ~ began by imagining ways to reconnect with Nature by meeting outside without the walls that block out the rest of the world.  She remembers longing for a spiritual experience in a place where the divine mystery of Creation would be
experienced and not explained. The core of the Wild Church service is an invitation to gather outdoors allowing everyone to reconnect with the natural world at their own contemplative pace.  We offer and create spiritual practices that help each person to center, wander, reflect and share the wild and wonderful ways Creation can speak to our souls.
