SEMINARY OF THE WILD: Programs for Religious Professionals
The Seminary of the Wild is a nature-based program of encountering the wholeness, depth and mystery of one’s nature in the creation. Nearly all religious and spiritual teachers of wisdom found their call through a wander into the wild.
Come join us as we wander into the desert, the mountains, the forests, in search of a numinous encounter with Mystery.

Wild Christ, Wild Earth, Wild Self – At Ghost Ranch, NM
Two Dates:
JULY 28- AUGUST 2 with Guest Speakers: Michael Dowd and Brian Maclaren
OCTOBER 20-24 with Guest Speakers: Richard Rohr and Geneen Marie Haugen
This introduction to Seminary of the Wild offers an experiential, nature-based, journey of apprenticeship into the wild mysteries of the kingdom of God.
It’s an invitation into your own deeper participation in the restoration of the world, at a time when the old ways don’t resonate anymore. Created for those who long for a more soul-infused life and yearn to find ways to re-connect to the natural world as a person of faith during a time of deep cultural unraveling.
Finding a way forward for the Pilgrim, the Church, and the Culture will require that we live in alignment with the life-enhancing wisdom of Creation — the revelatory Book of Nature.
Seminary of the Wild supports that journey. We call it the Journey of the Wild Christ.
You will discover:
A re-enchantment of the natural world and a re-visioning of your deep belonging to this world by reconnecting with your senses, body, emotions, imagination directly with the land and creatures.
A re-wilding of the Christian story that begins with deconstructing processes of domestication, and distortions that have tamed and suppressed the earth-based vision of the Christ.
A re-claiming of your own wild, prophetic voice as a leader engaged in transforming culture during this age of ecological destruction and calling for reformation.
A re-membering yourself into a much larger Whole in a journey of wild discipleship, expanding your capacity to connect directly with the Holy and follow your unique calling as participant in a wild and beautiful story of inter-connection.
