Sometimes you read a book that you wish you could discuss with others. There is a much richer engagement in the conversation around a book in community than reading such an excellent book alone.
As we begin to embark on summer, this book will be a beautiful companion as we enjoy nature around us. Victoria Loorz invites us through her book Church of the Wild, to engage the Sacred in nature. Her writing utilizes an ecospiritual lens through biblical narratives that invite us to a larger community of sacred companions. She shares her own journey of discovery God in the midst of nature and invites us to join her.
In my role as a spiritual director, I talk with many who experience God outdoors. Let's discover this journey together as we read this engaging book.

Kathi Gatlin founded Boldly Loved and co-founded the Companioning Center to bring together her two greatest passions: spiritual formation and teaching. In this, she utilizes her DMin. in Leadership and Spiritual Formation from Portland Seminary and her M.Ed. earned through George Fox University.
Her greatest joy is walking alongside others, individually and in groups, in their own spiritual journey, sharing ways of understanding God anew through contemplative prayer and teaching, and to see them grow in the depth of their own understanding of who God is and who they are in relationship with God.
