Accidental Gods

How does it feel to stand at the balance point between ancient Christian mysticism and the Druid's path of deep connection with the natural world?  What do we become if we marry the traditions of Christianity with the far older, land-based traditions of this land - and all lands?  In a living answer to these questions, Rev Sam Wernham founded the River Dart Wild Church and the Wild Monastics, as well as the Wild Spirit Community - all dedicated to a deep and sacred connection with the land.

"When do you feel most alive? When are you most open and connected with a deeper sense of being? When do you fall in love with life and want to turn towards the world with hope and care?

Perhaps, like us, your sacred ground is the earth under your feet… your sacred spaces are cathedrals of trees with branches filled with wind and rain, sunlight or stars… your baptismal pools are filled with deep brown river water or the wild and salty sea. Perhaps, like us, you yearn to share this… for spiritual community, for authentic meeting and deep silence with people and with all beings. So, welcome to wild church!"

In this podcast, we explore Sam's journey to the founding of the Wild Church and Wild Monastics - how these fulfil the need for deep connection, and where her spiritual activism has taken her since the pandemic began.

What is Accidental Gods ?

The old paradigm is breaking apart. The new one is still not fully shaped.

If we're going to emerge into a just, equitable - and above all regenerative - system, we need to meet the people who are already living, working, thinking and believing at the leading edge of inter-becoming transformation.
Accidental Gods exists to bring these voices to the world so that we can all step forward into a future we'd be proud to leave to the generations that come after us.
We have the choice now - we can choose to transform…or we can face the chaos of a failing system.
Our Choice. Our Chance. Our Future.
