Why a wilderness fast?

Summer will come to a close and the earth will begin to still. Will you join the rhythms of the Earth as the equinox dawns upon us?  Come!  Come, sync your soul to shadow and light’s dance.  Three nights in the wilderness, three days fast. 

A small group of men will be led for this weekend wilderness fast on the Olympic Peninsula. Will you harvest the gifts of summer and as you prepare for fall? Come sit. Together. And alone. Among the trees and near the river. 

As wild as you want it to be…I found myself, lost by a river.  I went in thinking hunger and loneliness would be my challenges, but they paled to what was unearthed in me.
