Wild Christ at Kripalu...

“The small one builds cages for everyone they know. While the sage, who has to duck their head when the moon is low, keeps dropping keys all night long for the beautiful, rowdy prisoners.” -Hafiz

It’s time for the most popular global religion to acknowledge that it has become the Prodigal Son. That it has wondered off into the politics and madness of humanity and squandered its creative vitality. Our most awakened spiritual institutions have avoided workshops that touch upon Christ’s teachings, because the heartwood of Christianity has been used to build cages for centuries.

Join three artists and teachers Paul and Tim Frantzich and David Hawkinson, as they walk into the radiant wilderness of Christ using song, ritual, yoga and story. Open your hearts and minds as “The Firebird” (a folktale of Russia) is heard along side sacred biblical text. Let it speak with a new voice, free of judgment, free of rhetoric and the smell of mothballs. This is not your parent’s religion…it’s your life.

Christianity is asking us to let it rise, with all great religions, to the high road of The Heart.

“I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.” –Christ

Lets drop keys to the rowdy prisoners…all night long.

Price: $225.00

Wild Christ Conference Presenters

David Hawkinson
“When Hawk (David Hawkinson) presents sacred text it may well take on divine form, walk up to you and kiss you full on the lips or sock you in the mouth."
–Paul & Tim Frantzich

David Hawkinson is a revolutionary teacher who journeys into sacred text with over three decades of Midrashic (Rabbinic) interpretation as his guide. The electricity he carries into his workshops arcs between—and connects us to—sacred history and the human heart. An ordained minister in the Covenant Church, a scholar of Hebrew and Christian texts, and a Fellow in the American Association of Pastoral Councilors, David’s great loves are his family, the creaking of the rigging, the teachings of Martin Buber, and the rugged and ever-changing journey of the soul toward home.


The Brothers Frantzich (fran-zik)
“The Frantzich Brothers are crammed with spirit; their music flies everywhere.”
–Robert Bly

Tumbling pioneers in the revolution of Love, The Brothers Frantzich hold the true image of brothers in harmony up to the transcendent image of peaceful harmony between cultures and religions. The heart drenched music and style of the Brothers Frantzich bridges the gap between the thrill and sensuality of Saturday night and the sacred musings of Sunday morning. Their audience is vastly diverse and spans two continents. They sing in prisons, churches, center ice before NHL games, clubs and theaters of the mid-west, and poetry conferences in the woods of Maine and Minnesota with some of the finest poets and teachers in the world.
