Take an intellectual journey that expands the biblical canon to include 150 fascinating ancient Jesus books discovered since the mid-1800s. We’ll learn how these uncovered texts connect when placed in the twenty-first century's life, love, violence, trauma, gender-bendedness, queered, and open-mindedness. Immerse yourself in the wonders of the past and explore how they can enhance your understanding of the present. This promises to be an eye-opening, enlightening experience that will inspire you to see the Bible in a broader, more inclusive light.

The polish, performance, and profit motive of sexuality in the marketplace is hardly an improvement over purity culture.</p> <p> Real role models are hard to find. Wise voices seem scarce. And we're not sure how to develop a more trusting relationship with ourselves! </p> <p> Whether queer or straight, kinky or vanilla, trans or cis or nonbinary, asexual or hypersexual, monogamous or polyamorous or still questioning, how can we discover, deepen, and celebrate who we are, in ways that are resonant with our deepest spiritual values, including Jesus’ call to love, justice, and abundant living? </p> <p>Wild Goose Festival is a space where people of diverse backgrounds bravely ask many of life’s most pressing questions, playing and listening to a symphony of responses. We offer a facilitated container leaning with curiosity, courage, and collaboration into specific questions with a cohort of people.</p> <p><em>Wisdom Camp: Sexuality</em> invites us to reflect on and activate our <em>own </em>sacred sexuality, moving out of the shadows and into joyful play.</p> | No | 5/23/23 | |||||||||||

Workshop leaders Brian McLaren, Kate Rademacher, and Brian Allain will shed light on the often confusing and opaque world of books. Brian McLaren will talk about the writing process … where inspiration comes from, how the writing process unfolds, how personality type and the writing process interact, and how the writing process can help you grow as a human being. Kate Rademacher will lead participants in several exercises and discussions to support a practice of discerning how and what and when we are being called to write next. As new or emerging writers, it has never been easier to create and share content with local, national, and/or global audiences. As such, the world has become a very noisy place. In fact, the World Health Organizations says we are living in an infodemic. As you determine what content you are being called to create and share, consider all the options. Often, an important first step for spiritual writers and other content creators is to become quiet and listen for where the Spirit is calling us next. Practices of contemplative prayer, silence, and discernment are more important than ever before. Brian Allain will lead the final portion of the workshop, focusing on business aspects of being a spiritual writer. We will discuss the importance of marketing, including your audience focus (who is the customer for your book), your elevator pitch (what benefits are you providing your audience), and marketing tactics (how to build a following for your work). We will also provide an overview of the spiritual publishing industry, discuss picking your path to getting published, and cover the pro’s and con’s of self publishing. | No | 05/19/23 | ||||||||||||

I thought that with thirty years of good science we could address these problems. I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed, and apathy, and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation.” — James Gustave Speth Do you ever feel powerless, despondent, or afraid when you think about the climate crisis? Do you sometimes feel numb when you see pictures of historic floods and droughts, storms and wildfires, tornados and heat waves? You’re not alone. Psychologists are beginning to recognize climate grief as a growing phenomena. As caring and compassionate people, this feeling of helplessness can lead to denial or depression or despair, especially when we understand that climate change hits poor and marginalized communities way harder than more privileged people groups. To say nothing of the one million species on the brink of extinction. These feelings may paralyze us and prevent us from taking action on behalf of the planet and vulnerable people. Or we may become propelled by anger or fear, both fully appropriate in the face of massive injustice and tragedy, but not sustainable. Thankfully, our diverse intergenerational “Beloved Community” can create a better way forward, riding on the wings of the Wild Goose — the Celtic symbol for the Holy Spirit. At its root, the climate crisis is a spiritual problem, based in greed and selfishness and “othering” of nations, populations, and Creation itself. As people empowered by the spirit, we must look within ourselves for the resources to engage climate injustice in a healthy way. You are invited to join one of the world’s foremost climate leaders, author and activist Bill McKibben and acclaimed author, activist, and public theologian Brian McLaren for a day of conversation, reflection, and prayer about climate justice. Leaders from marginalized frontline communities affected by climate disruption will help us learn, as we heal and discover hope in loving community. We’ll move through awareness and acceptance and into hopeful — even joyful — empowerment for action. Together we will heal our bodies, minds and spirits through contemplative prayer practices, gentle yoga, and a silent walk in the surrounding forest. Long-time environmental activists will lead us in imagining creative ways we can accept God’s call to care for each other and our planet. | Belinda - I would need an office chair to sit in (Back problems). | No | 5/10/23 | |||||||||||

We teach our bodies to be still and rest in God. We strengthen our hearts to be fully known by Love (not always an easy task). Finally, we teach our minds to relax. We need not control or fear anything. Instead, we release thoughts, sensations, or distractions that keep us from being in the moment. A beautiful time to be held gently by Spirit. Scientifically, CP can re-wire our neuropathways allowing us to become less anxious and more conscious to each moment. This is a wordless prayer for union with God. The first few minutes at the Wild Goose session will be about how to do Centering Prayer. Then we will do a 20-minute group sit. Alone or collectively, Centering Prayer is a daily reminder of being loved completely, full stop! It ignites our knowing God and intrinsically being fully known. | No | 16273 | 5/15/23 | ||||||||||

And while metaphor is all we ever get for the Mystery we call God, we have a big problem: our metaphors have gotten stuck. Due to a combination of tradition, sexism, power, and the limitations of language, our God-language and metaphors are almost exclusively masculine. This harms all of us, and it needs to change. Thinking of God in masculine terms has enormous implications for how children of all genders grow up. It has contributed to a world in which girls, women, and anyone not traditionally male-bodied remain marginalized and seen as less than. Plus, the feminine qualities in all genders are undervalued. Gender-neutral titles just don’t land in our bodies as neutral because of the thousands of years of patriarchal influence. Unless we explicitly use feminine pronouns and metaphors, the idea of the feminine as part of the divine image will remain unimaginable, and we will be limiting the ways in which the sacred mystery called God can interact in the world. Feminine God language is liberating for us all. Come experience the heart-expanding and liberating practice of God as Mama. . | Must be Friday -rm We'd love this in the Episcopal Tent but understand if this needs a larger venue. | Jen Knapp is joining this Experience so we'll need two mics and probably a third for her guitar. | No | 16471 | 5/15/23 | ||||||||

To put it differently, it’s an opportunity to move and dance freely in a space full of love and acceptance with God at its core. JoyDance begins slowly with a devotional inspired by the festival theme, Ignite. The devotional is accompanied by guided breathing and stretch appropriate for all bodies and abilities. Everyone is encouraged to follow the lead of their spirit and body as they move. As the tempo increases, the movement shifts from guided stretch to free-flowing dance, very broadly defined. Dance can be anything! We honor our bodies and the ways in which God’s Spirit is guiding us throughout the dance. We get to have the fun of co-creating in the space, allowing God’s spirit and the music to speak, and respond in whatever way feels best. This moving together in shared space opens spiritual opportunity for personal and collective transformation. Eventually, the music will slow along with the movement. We will settle the body with breath and stretch and then end the dance with a period of quiet meditation and relaxation. We rest and listen in this final act of receiving. | No | 16225 | 5/6/23 | ||||||||||

It is the well we gather around. As many people from marginalized identities can tell you, it can also be the source of trauma, heartache and isolation. Where tradition can be a source of great comfort and continuity, it can also become a way of seeking control at the expense of the people who have gathered in the space. Many communities struggle to create rituals that go beyond surface changes honor the bodies and identities in our communities. In Worship as Worldbuilding, we will explore tools for developing rituals that are informed by shared values, unique community needs and a vision for the future. Using tools they have developed for their own work, Cole guides participants through the concepts of intention, worldbuilding, witness and space as they relate to ritual.

Each of us has inherent wisdom that holds what our souls long for, how we are called to be in service to the world and an inherent hunger to Return to Earth, our home, and in so doing, Return to one another. We are travelling together in a tenuous time, where we are experiencing a collective shift full of grief as planetary beings and habitats are jeopardized, perhaps beyond the tipping point. Earth is calling for humans to witness and respond. Ecospirituality invites horizontal transcendence and focusing first on how we engage before what we do, opening our hearts to authentic relationship, alleviating disconnection, and building a foundation for justice and healing generating praxis. This conversation is an invitation to explore our individual and shared manifestations of Ecospirituality. How are we awakening to our individual and shared purposes within the web of life? How are we fostering interconnection and harmony? How are we embodying a living relationship with Earth and creating space for others to discover theirs?

The grown-ups in the home are. Parents and caregivers have the opportunity to walk alongside kids and teens as they develop physically, emotionally, relationally, mentally, and spiritually. We can help cultivate spirituality and wonder in our families in a realistic way without the baggage that comes from harmful church experiences. This workshop provides a framework for meaning-making beyond the walls of the church through grounding rituals, milestones, and rites of passage as children grow. We’ll work together to identify a sustainable rhythm and even create a milestone celebration together! | 5/28 | |||||||||||||

Over the last few years more and more of us are discovering that the Prison Industrial Complex (including imprisonment, policing, and surveillance) is the wrong solution to social and economic problems. Our prison system is characterized by over-reliance on punishment, cruelty, and exploitation, and it preserves systemic inequalities and perpetuate cycles of poverty, trauma, and suffering. This system is fundamentally at odds with God's vision for the world. Our faith in a restorative God must empower us to fight for restorative justice. And at the same time, our rejection of a punitive God must empower us to fight against punitive justice. Ada Maria Isasi-Díaz, who popularized the phrase “kin-dom of God” said, “the unfolding of the kin-dom of God happens when instead of working to become part of structures of exclusion we struggle to do away with such structures.” In the kin-dom, every individual is valued and treated with dignity and respect, so let’s learn together how Prison Abolition can help us embody the kin-dom of God in the world. | 6/19 | |||||||||||||

Let Karl and Laura be your guide as they examine these questions and more! ● Is it okay to take some time off from religion and do this assessment? ● Are there things we can’t see because we’re too close? ● Where else can we find community? ● Is it possible to thrive outside of organized religion? ● If Jesus were physically here, would he go to church? | No | 15371 | 5/6/23 | ||||||||||

To go forward, we often need to look back. African proverbs are a gateway to wisdom that resonate with Judeo-Christian teachings. A legacy for all people, the proverbs of Africa and the African diaspora include rich variations of the Golden Rule, striking versions of loving one's enemies and welcoming the stranger, and stunning koans about losing your way to find your way. A new book compares proverbs from many cultures with Bible verses, affirming universal values such as compassion, forgiveness, patience, and repentance. They reflect a shared legacy and point us to a common destiny.

Is the Holy Spirit lighting a fire under you to do something about it? Join us for a demonstration of Guns to Gardens as skilled volunteers use a chop saw to dismantle an unwanted firearm and begin the process of turning it into a garden tool. Participate in a liturgy of healing. And learn about training opportunities for your congregation to become a “chop saw church” and help prevent gun violence in your community. Last year, in one year, nearly as many Americans were taken by gun violence as we lost in the entire Vietnam War. We need multiple ways to make a difference. In addition to education and advocacy, Guns to Gardens is a direct action that we can take in our own church settings. Every unwanted weapon that is dismantled by Guns to Gardens protects someone from gun suicide, family violence, unintentional shootings, or from being stolen and used in a mass shooting or other gun violence.

The U.S. is facing an unprecedented epidemic of censorship against books with LGBTQ and anti-racism content in libraries, schools, and churches. Censorship can strip away a person’s history, experience, and identity, and close the doors and windows that encourage living our authentic lives. My calling is to ignite a passion for the freedom to read. The only epiphany I’ve had (a literal “light from God” moment) was to go to library school. This part of my story covers two decades when I moved from being a very unlikely graduate student who had lost faith in about everything, to supporting librarians and educators through my work with a national non-profit, and doing it with an enduring faith. Attendees will learn about challenges to materials and explore ways to address censorship issues, and how to ignite a movement in their community.

This is not just the small/rural churches either, there are city churches who fly the same welcoming epitaph, who are purging members as well. The million-dollar question is, “How do we convince people to come back?” Could the answer be to ask them? Could the answer to be giving them a reason to? There is a lot of conversation to be had around being welcoming and inviting, and in our modern times it might be worthwhile to explore that thin line. Come on in, the water is fine is a chance to have that conversation, exploring the gap between welcome and invitation.

What do you long for? How do you seek it? What is it like when you get it…or you don’t? This workshop lasts 90+ minutes and consists of a series of relational “games” (interactive exercises) designed to extend your awareness beyond your usual confined perception, beyond the mechanical thinking and impulses that drive so many of our interpersonal moments. We will explore imagination, boundaries and authenticity in how we show up in the world. We will seek to become alive to the divine all around us, breathing through us, in us - some mystics even say, ‘as us.’ We will practice the loving presence of ourselves and of each other. Sometimes creating profound connection and accessing deep wisdom is as easy as looking just beneath the surface with whoever you are with. Come play with the simple and profound art of truly being with another, as you are. | per Aline | No | 17911 | 5/6/23 | |||||||||

On Friday morning we will immerse ourselves into the Parable of the Good Shepherd (Matthew 18:12-14, Luke 15:1-7, John 10, Psalm 23) and the Parable of the Mustard Seed (Matthew 24:32, Mark 4:30-32, Luke 13:18-19). *Godly Play is a unique approach to spiritual formation. It does not teach about knowing God. Instead, invitations are offered for meaning-making; for connecting with God, whom you already know. Through story, open ended wondering, and deep play, Godly Play supports: exploring existential limits, making meaning from spiritual experiences, coming close to the mystery of God. Children can stay for the full morning session, or be picked up during the natural break between sessions from 10:50-11:00. Upon registration each family is assigned a unique number, to be written on their wristbands, and ONLY adults with corresponding wristband numbers will be able to pick up designated children - wristbands MUST be worn by both caregivers and children in Children’s Tent programs, for ALL drop offs and pickups. All Children’s Team members are volunteers, all of whom have undergone a recent background check process, and are required to maintain at least two-deep leadership during all program related activity. | 6/26/23 | ||||||||||||

Through faith, we simply state that racism tells us a lie about who people really are. Racism says that some people are better than others based on the color of their skin, but through the radical equality of God we can remember the truth of our identity as children of God. The stories are part history, part faithful reflection, and part wondering to cover 500 years of the American story of racism. These stories separate the lies about ourselves, our neighbors, our world, and even our churches from the truth that we can envision through God.

Participants hold various roles: facilitator, scribe, space holders, and characters. During the practice we embody two different states of the system, the current stuck reality and the emerging future reality. After embodying the current state (Structure 1), participants are invited to use body mindfulness and spatial awareness to move to a new embodied form or shape, not based on preconceived notions, manipulation, or forced thinking, but simply moving. We take note of what shifts are happening and what is surfacing as we move to this second shape of an emerging future reality (Structure 2). We reflect on the two states (Structure 1 and 2) and the movement in between. Through reflection we gain insight into our system and future action. | No | 16597 | 5/6/23 | ||||||||||

Joyce McIntosh (who does happen to be a queer librarian, Christian, beer fan, and mom, sought a creative outlet during the pandemic after the monthly stand-up show she co-produced, Mother Cluckers Comedy, ceased hosting live shows. With a broad title, listeners of all backgrounds can find something to relate to in BBBQ episodes. For the past year Joyce has focused her energy on her day job, helping librarians and library educators navigate challenges to information and materials in public and school libraries and educating library staff and community members about intellectual freedom and censorship. At the Goose 2023 Joyce plans to reignite BBBQ with new episodes, potentially sharing the mic with: - An author whose titles have been challenged or who engages with topics of Christianity and sexuality in their work and/or - The people who bring us Beer & Hymns! If we do that, perhaps we’ll get some singing going for an intro.! Please join in on the fun! You can find episodes of Books, Bible, Beer & Queer on most platforms. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/books-bible-beer-and-queer/id1535891818 | Sounds awesome. Would love to welcome Joyce into the Goosecast Network! | No | 16237 | 5/6/23 | |||||||||
