Our Rule of Life
Gardening
We garden because humans were first placed in the Garden to be co-gardeners with God. We garden in order to connect and live as instruments of life and solidarity with a natural world facing ecological collapse and extinction. We garden as a way to redeem and repair human destruction. Gardening forms us into grounded caretakers who are connected to the world around us.
Prayer
We communicate and relate to God in prayer in order to align ourselves with God’s heart and will for our world and to receive support and resources in accordance to our needs. We pray because we believe that God is always near to us (Psalm 139:7) and we pray so that we are formed into people who are known to be immersed in constant divine conversation.
Play
Project: The Solarpunk Game
We “play” because we have a well-placed hope in God’s creative Spirit and inexhaustible imagination. We are marked by joy in our engagement and outlook on life, the future, and our fellow players journeying with us on our quests.
Playing is an organizing means for Solarpunk Christian community’s existence.
We are developing three games! The Solarpunk Game: Rule of Life, The Polycrisis Situation Expansion pack, and the Solarpunk Game Boardgame. Coming Soon!
Fellowship
We are in fellowship with each other as well as with our neighboring communities because our work is communal in nature. We cannot face The Polycrisis alone. We confess our need for each other and that our best selves are drawn out and put into action when we are in the flow and mix of a healthy, beloved community that is centering God.
Sabbath
We practice a weekly rhythm of rest so as to embody our trust and dependence on God’s care. We observe Sabbath so as to affirm that all salvation and provision ultimately depend upon God. By taking a day of rest and worship, we protect against burnout, urgency, and the idolization of projects and work. We confess that we have limits and weaknesses and that we are not saviors. It is God who saves. God took a day to rest.
