Wilderness Wandering: A Retreat for Men

There are questions that can make or unmake a life, questions that have patiently waited for you, questions that have no right to go away.
February 28-March 1, 2014
Friday 6 pm - Saturday 4 pm
Still Point Mountain Retreat

"There are questions that can make or unmake a life, questions that have patiently waited for you, questions that have no right to go away." -- David Whyte, Sometimes

In the depths of winter's hibernation, are there questions waiting patiently for us to notice, hold, discern?

We invite you to join other men from our region for a "wilderness wandering" on February 28-March 1 at the Still Point Mountain Retreat at Rolling Ridge in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Let the natural world draw us into those spaces that are frozen in our consciousness.

We will begin with a shared evening meal between 6-7 pm on Friday night.

The time will include a series of individual and group interactions, wandering in the wilderness on Saturday, and conclude late Saturday afternoon with another communal meal.

The cost for the night will be $25 . Bring food for yourself and to share with others. The event is limited to 12 men, so be sure to sign up now!

For more details or to sign-up, contact Bill Casey via email (mailto:b13909@comcast.net">b13909@comcast.net) or phone (703.568.3438).

This event is sponsored by the Men As Learners and Elders -- DC Region
