Life After, Unfiltered: Dare to Sing, Speak, and Rise

You didn’t come here for safe. You came for movement. Here’s your weekly nudge.

This week’s Wild Goose Experiences are here to stir the pot and strip away the niceties. Let’s get raw, real, and a little reckless.

Life After… (Fill in the Blank) (Danae Casteel)
Life after church. Life after faith. Life after addiction. Life after all the things you thought you couldn’t survive. Danae Casteel opens the door to a no-BS conversation on what it really means to keep going when the world you built your life on crumbles. You won’t just sit and listen—you’ll dig into your own story, sift through the rubble, and find the pieces worth holding onto.

Is the Darkness Necessary? (Larry Dickinson)
Maybe the chaos is necessary. Maybe the world has to burn before it can be rebuilt. Dr. Larry Dickinson doesn’t sugarcoat the darkness—he holds it up to the light. In this roundtable, you’re invited to speak the ‘unthinkable’ out loud. Question the narratives. Dissect the mess. Say the thing you’ve been too scared to say. No apologies. No holding back.

Singing Ourselves Home (Naomi Griffin Self)
Got a voice? You’re in. Naomi Griffin Self leads a raw, reckless singing circle where even the ‘I don’t sing’ folks are welcome. Here, you don’t just sing—you howl, wail, and belt it out until your bones vibrate and your soul remembers what it’s like to feel free. No sheet music. No pressure. Just your voice, your breath, and the sound of a hundred other brave, untamed voices singing you home.

You weren’t built to stay small. You were built to break open, shatter, and come back louder. Let’s go.
