## Resource

In this episode of The Holy Wild , Victoria Loorz speaks with her sister and co-author, Valerie Luna Serrels, about the transformative movement of Wild Church. Together they explore how sacred relationship with Earth is being rekindled through embodied spiritual practice, intentional community, and the reclamation of ancient ways of knowing. They reflect on the Field Guide to Church of the Wild , a book they co-wrote to support this growing network, and share insights into the shift from dominance to kinship as a core spiritual calling.
