Wendy Janzen
Wendy Janzen grew up in the Canadian prairies where the vast skies and wide view of the horizon shaped her spiritual landscape and understanding of God as a spacious and open Presence. She has always loved all things outdoors - hiking, camping, canoeing, snow shoeing, gardening, campfires, stargazing - and has sought to add depth to time spent in creation through nurturing spiritual practices in nature.
Wendy’s passion for the natural world led her to start two emerging, experimental, outdoor faith communities - Burning Bush Forest Church in 2016, and more recently, Wilmot Forest Church. Connected to that she is one of the co-founders and leaders in the Wild Church Network. She is a spiritual director, public speaker, retreat leader, innovator, poet, and an ordained minister in the Mennonite Church with 22 years of pastoral experience. She also works part time with Mennonite Central Committee Ontario in their Indigenous Neighbours Program.
Wendy lives in the Grand River Watershed on the Haldimand Tract (in Kitchener) with her husband Chip, two sons, and a friendly orange tabby cat.”
