spiritual nourishment for collective liberation

enfleshed

companions individuals and communities in the long, loving labors of collective liberation through creative spiritual resources

enfleshed has roots in liberationist and theo-poetic Christianities and has grown in multiple directions since 2017. we continue to companion those on the fringes of Christianity while also cultivating and particiatping in sacred spaces outside of singular or static religious identities.

co-creating

words, spaces, practices and resources that sustain our spirits for the long-term. drawing on lineages of resistance and prophets of faith. re-threading a story of coalition, care, and the interdependence of all life. centering the wisdom of the fringes.

unlearning dominance

addressing theologies, practices and cultures of racism, transphobia, queerphobia, sexism, ableism, capitalism, colonialism, and everything that severs us from the earth and each other. practicing self-examination, accountability, and the commitment to “transforming ourselves to transform the world.” (Grace Lee Boggs)

Liturgy that Matters

lectionary cycle

worship prep companion

for eight years, we provided a full order of worship, three sermon commentaries (cosmic, structural, and inter/personal), and other elements to companion communities in making worship spaces radical spaces where ‘god’ means freedom, ‘god’ means liberation, ‘god’ is the practice of daily, ordinary shifts, divestments, and creative pursuits that embody the kindom-come.
