increasingly being lived at high velocity and with greater amounts of clutter. But if we can somehow slow down and strip away that clutter, we can focus on what really matters. That, in part, is what a wilderness retreat can do.<\/p><p>The discipline of wilderness is a metaphor for a spiritual journey. Just as wilderness offered revelations to the early Desert Christians, so wilderness hones crucial spiritual skills for us: paying attention, traveling light, practicing silence, exercising wonder, and slowing down.\u00a0 Through these practices, the wilderness itself becomes another way of knowing God in ever deeper ways. As Aslan urged at the end of the Narnia tales, \u201cFarther up and further in.\u201d<\/p><p>We will explore the convictions of the early Desert Christians such as:<\/p><ul><li>There are no easy routes to self-realization; it begins, ironically, with self-abandonment.<\/li><li>The spiritual life thrives on the margins of society, in solitude framed by community.<\/li><li>Desire and relinquishment are a recurring pattern in wilderness experience.<\/li><li>Failure and making mistakes don\u2019t hinder spiritual growth; they occasion it.<\/li><li>The body, when disciplined, becomes an important teacher of spiritual insight.<\/li><li>Wilderness breeds a lifestyle of resistance, cultural critique, and cantankerous honesty.<\/li><\/ul><p>A Rewilding the Heart Retreat will take you deep into the Bob Marshall Wilderness or Mission Mountain Wilderness of western Montana.\u00a0 Together we\u2019ll explore the landscape known as \u201cthe last best place\u201d and \u201cthe valley of the hush\u201d while enjoying the comforts of a cozy cabin.<\/p><p>We begin with dinner on Monday night and conclude by noon on Friday.\u00a0 The cost of the retreat:\u00a0 $595.00 (single), $495.00 (couple\u2019s price\/person) which covers lodging, meals and materials.\u00a0 This is a 5-day retreat.\u00a0 Space is limited so please register soon if interested.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0970d47 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-815 elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"0970d47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/peacefulpause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/App-Wilderness-2024.docx\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-file-download\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Apply<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d28e1f elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"9d28e1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/paypal.me\/peacefulpauseMT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-paypal\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Pay for Retreat<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1fee428\" data-id=\"1fee428\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-9119101 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9119101\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;,&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;],&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:160,&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:100,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f908237\" data-id=\"f908237\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a6e35c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8a6e35c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
