Ways to Tend the Wild Heart: Exploring Christianity through an Animist Lens

with Lindsay Sudeikis

January 22, 2022

9-12 Pacific

12-3 Eastern

5-8 pm Ireland/UK time

Program Description

We will come together to orient within the wild hearts of Jesus and Mary of Nazareth. We will immerse ourselves in an ancient mystic Love and contemplate the “living stones” and “life-giving water” through an animist lens. Animism experiences the world and all of its elements and creatures as pulsing with aliveness. It calls us into a deep and intimate relationality with all of creation. 
 
Our time will include simple ritual, diving into content, embodied practice, and discussion. Please bring a journal, something to write with, a glass of water and a candle to our shared time. These two elements, life-giving water and the fire of divine love will help to hold our virtual ritual container with one another across the ethers of Zoom!
 

The retreat will be recorded for those who pre-register but are unable to attend at the scheduled time.
