Mike Christie

A writer and convener focused on themes of spirituality, connection to place, finding levity and humor, and the miraculous woven within the common. Below are some of the outlets I have found for such things over the years.

All These Branches

A community that started out as as a progressive Christian church that has evolved over the 7 years I have pastored into an eco-spiritual, interfaith community. A lot of our focus is centered around our place within the Spokane River Watershed. Read more about it HERE.

Weekly meditation classes focused on finding wonder in the everyday.

Are We Seeing This?

Freeing the Firefly

A book I wrote at 22 (so take that for what it is worth!) that is more or less a journal of my journey leaving organized Christianity behind.

Hardwired4Security (No longer AFFILIATED, but supporter of the cause!)

Co-led groups, breath work events, and mens retreats focused on integrating the whole self.

"To confront a person with his own shadow is to show them their own light."
