"How do we lead a contemplative life? Feels like the essential question.

Teaching practices is where you have to start, but how they become fully integrated into all aspects of people's lives and ways of working is the real challenge.

I think the response to that challenge, of which I just have a glimmer, is the next big frontier."

Wilderness DreamQuest - With Chandler and Krystyna. Mindful of each cloud, grain of sand or cactus spine, you can allow yourself to go inward and recognize your own gifts and beauty. It is a time and an opportunity to listen with all your senses to your inner voices, sharpened by the simplicity of the wilderness, and the awesome beauty of the universe.
A journey of awareness, via the wilderness and group community, each quester will look inward and outward at the paths already traveled, the ones currently being experienced, and the dreams lost and found along the way. It is a journey to reawaken the dreams within and plant seeds for their fruition. By exposing yourself to the natural beauty and lessons of the wilderness, you’ll find new excitement about your own talents, current desires & previous dreams seeking to be remembered and fulfilled.
