The Gospel of Direct Experience

At the Edge of Collapse and Connection: Victoria Loorz on Wild Spirituality


Listen Later

Jeff and Michael sit down with Victoria Loorz, author of Church of the Wild, founder of the Center for Wild Spirituality, and co-founder of the Wild Church Network, for a conversation about finding the sacred beyond church walls. They talk about the experience of hearing God beneath an oak tree, encounters with owls and vultures, and why wilderness has always been the place where spiritual transformation begins.

Together they explore what it means to face ecological and institutional collapse without turning away—to grieve, to stay connected, and to treat even loss as part of the holy cycle of life, death, and renewal.

You can learn more about Victoria at her website or by listening to her podcast, The Holy Wild with Victoria Loorz.
