  • Where The True Self Resides
    Mar 7 2025

    In this inspiring episode of Nature as Beloved, Nature as Self, we delve into an intricate exploration of the "True Self." Within the framework of Wilderness Christian Mysticism, this conversation seeks to illuminate the place where the True Self resides. Drawing from Christian, psychological, and interspiritual perspectives, we explore the profound differences between the false, superficial self—shaped by societal expectations—and the beautiful, interconnected essence of the True Self that yearns to be expressed. Vivid metaphors like the canyon, abyss, spark, and sphere help illuminate this journey, offering fresh ways to visualize and engage with our inner landscape. Through personal reflections and mystical insights, this episode provides practical insights for connecting with the place where the True Self resides.

  • Reclaiming Christ as Belonging to the World
    Dec 6 2024

    From the perspective of Wilderness Christian Mysticism, Christ is not confined to one group, religion, or interpretation. In this episode, we tackle harmful ideas that have distorted Christ’s essence and message, such as exclusionary doctrines and narrow interpretations. And in doing so, we reclaim a Christ who stands with the marginalized, uplifts the oppressed, and calls us to radical love and compassion. Further, we explore how Christian spirituality connects with LGBTQ+ experiences and what it means to transcend gendered views of divinity. Join us as we peel back the layers to rediscover Christ as a universal presence—an open embrace for everyone, everywhere. - - - 🌲 Help us grow!
