What is a Wilderness Fast?

Wilderness fasting is a contemplative practice.  It is one way to enter into time and space with Mystery immersed in the more than human world. 

Often practitioners have meaningful experiences with their own levels of consciousness and a deeper awakening to the natural world.   

The wilderness fast was a soul-full way to mark the equinox and turn toward the season of darkness. I carried many treasures out of that river valley, including a deeper connection with myself, my ancestors, and the men who entered with me. I often return to my place by the river in my mind and find it speaking still.
