Colette Eaton

Colette Eaton is a Portland-based writer and a spiritual contemplative whose work has appeared in Ekstasis, Mockingbird, Faith+Lead, and others. Colette writes Courage & Candor, a regular Substack newsletter exploring evolving faith, contemplation, and the Wild Church movement. She holds a bachelor of Bible and Theology and a Masters of Divinity from Multnomah Seminary in Portland, OR. 

Colette writes to encourage deconstructing Christians to remain resilient as they explore to widen their faith and attempt to engage in spiritual community. 

She first began writing as a way to process her own evolving faith, her frustrations with church ministry as a woman, and finding the Wild Church movement.

Colette is currently a pastor of Wild Chuch of Portland, an eco-spiritual community based on the Christ tradition that meets once a month in a city park. She is most excited to see this new expression of the church that is diverse, inclusive, and deeply cares for God’s creation.
