📣 June Community Action 📣 This month we are going to Practice Story Stewardship! Brene Brown says, "Story stewardship means honoring the sacred nature of story—the ones we share and the ones we hear—and knowing that we’ve been entrusted with something valuable or that we have something valuable that we should treat with respect and care. We are good stewards of the stories we tell by trusting them to people who have earned the right to hear them, and telling them only when we are ready. We are good stewards of the stories we hear by listening, being curious, affirming, and believing people when they tell us how they experienced something."
🌈 This PRIDE month we're honoring stories and holding space for each other to share our own. Stories are one of the most powerful tools we have as humans! Use your story for good, knowing when you share you make waves of sacred inspiration. 🌊

Technical difficulties means there's no new Pod in the Wild this week. 😣 But we can share the beautiful poem/story we read in the comments. How wonderful it is to be human and to make meaning of all we experience. Lean into the stories that surround you and you'll meet the Divine! ✨ What stories do you cherish? What tales have helped you understand who you are?

The Solstice is Coming!! 🌞 We can't wait to honor and celebrate the longest day of the year this Sunday, June 21 starting at 4pm at Sky Lake in Windsor. We'll have our regular Sunday worship circle and then stick around to watch the sun go down. We'll provide the burgers and hot dogs. Bring a side, dessert, or drink to share. We'll share games, music, crafts, and all the summer fun. 🌅 Soak up every minute of the longest day as we celebrate in community.

"All the ancient religions agreed that the world was sung, spoken and chanted into being. And so as humans, if you’re wondering, 'Why am I here?' Well, the original instructions are there. They tell us that one of our roles as humans is that we are creating and we create through our voice, through our song, through our words, through our stories." -Leah Lamb
This week we're embracing the stories that give us meaning. 📖 May you be open to the stories that surround you! ✨

🫛New on Pod in the Wild 🫛 Our Storied Life 📖 “Story was more crucial to our evolution than our opposable thumbs because all opposable thumbs did was let us hang on. It was story that told us what to hang on to.” -Lisa Cron
This month we're talking Stories and in honor of our 5th Anniversary we shared our stories of Church in the Wild and together sewed a quilt of beloved community. Take a listen and share your story in the comments! (links in bio/comments)

Patchwork Heart by John Roedel

vulnerability doesn’t mean telling
others what happened to us from
across a cafe table or from behind a
microphone
and then going home from the
experience feeling just as alone as
you did before
vulnerability means allowing your
human heart blanket to get sewn to
other heart blankets
it’s about connection
we don’t share for status / we do it for synergy
we don’t confess for clout / we do it to build community
we tell our tale / to invite others
to tell theirs
it’s the sacred cycle / of storytelling
we gather in a circle of trust and
say “here is my journey”
then we listen to
the other journeys
that are shared
we take space
then we give space
we pour
then we absorb
we speak
then we listen
we are storytellers
then we are witnesses
vulnerability isn’t just about
grave digging in our past
to expose our skeletons
it’s about sewing quilts
here is my patch
here is your patch
here is their patch
here is us
here is our story
