Welcome to spirituallywired

We are an emerging group of families and younger adults wanting to connect with others in a non-church kind of way. We think that spirituality is kind of cool. It helps with our everyday living. It grounds us in values and gives perspective on our place in the world. We don't mind questions. Questions get to the meaning of life. We like the stuff that comes out of the Christian tradition and aren't so keen on towing the line to some words we don't understand. We like to be inclusive, we think we can learn from other faith traditions and believe that what we do is more important than what we say we believe. Let's walk the walk! So, does this interest you? Want to be a part of things?

This fall, we are going to get together in homes and in parks and in other places - to sing, discuss, play and pray. Imagine growing together and learning about the sacred with our children or with our grandparents. Imagine meeting new friends. Check the blog for more details.

That's all!! .... for now!
