There is a longing in every man for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. And there's a reason God put that longing in our hearts. Based on the masculine journey outlined in "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge, this weekend will be made up of teaching sessions led by Eldredge and his team via video, fun, restorative recreation, and great food and conversations in a safe place. Come away and do something good for your heart. Join us for four days that will change the rest of your days....
Retreat Info for Registrants
This weekend is set up like a personal journey you’ll take to “get your heart back” so you can begin living the life, as a man, that God designed you for. You won’t hear a typical “Here’s what a real man looks like…try harder!” kind of message. Instead you will hear what’s already true about you that Jesus came to RESTORE. With that said, come curious and hungry. As way of “priming the pump” I recommend watching the seven 18-20 videos (one a day?) found at https://wildatheart.org/wildatheart/#play between now and the retreat.

Phones - To maximize your experience, unplugging is HIGHLY recommended. It will make a huge difference in the man that returns home. Let your spouses and clients know ahead of time that you have been asked to leave your cell phone off for the retreat. Provide those who may need you this emergency number: 706-273-4025 (Tim Harrison cell)
Recreation options - There will be two afternoons of free time. Come prepared for basketball, volleyball, disc golf (bring your own discs), hiking, high ropes and zip-lining.
(To experience a zip-line canopy tour on Friday, make a reservation at boonescreekoutdoors.com for the 1:00 session. $99.00)
Check in will be open at 3:30 and our first meal together is at 6:00.
I am looking forward to this time with you very much and I’m very proud of you guys for the courage you are demonstrating by carving out this time.
See you soon.
