We believe that restoring the connection between humans and the more-than-human world is key to sustaining wellbeing. We also believe that gathering in community provides mutual aid, support, challenge, and depth to this spiritual practice of restoration and healing.
Founded in 2023 in the spirit of the Church of the Wild, Hearth Cville invites all spiritually curious folks to join us for wanderings in nature year-round.
NEXT WANDERING: Winter Solstice, Sunday December 21, 2025, 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. at McIntire Park.
Directions: See pin here: https://goo.gl/maps/xHdo2k8gt9Ck1CLR7
Off 250 Bypass, turn into McIntire Park Drive and either 1) park near the YMCA and then walk to the picnic shelter on your right (facing the YMCA entrance) or 2) drive past the YMCA and park near the little league fields. Then walk a backtrack back to the picnic shelter.Bring your own seat and anything else you may need to be comfortable. We meet rain or shine.
We meet four times in a year, on the Equinoxes and Solstices to wander at various locations around Charlottesville, VA.
Wanderings start with informal conversation around candles or a fire. Facilitators then offer suggestions to guide folks into silence with one another and into communion with nature. We close with conversation and sharing in a variety of formats.
