The first session will be around 7 PM on Thursday night, May 11, 2023. Note that this is winter, so it’ll be dark by this time, and obviously colder than summer. Feel free to come earlier, set up, and have a meal before we get under way. There will definitely be someone there from midday onwards.
PLEASE NOTE
- We’re not asking for any registration fees for this BASIC. If you want to give something, please consider visiting https://mywildatheart.force.com/commerce/s/donate and supporting the ministry that makes these retreats possible.
- If you want to eat, you’ll have to bring your own food.
- If you want to sleep away from bugs and out of the cold, you’ll have to bring your own tent.
- If you don’t want to sleep on the ground or in a car, you’ll have to bring a mattress and/or sleeping bag.
- This is my list of things to bring. You don’t have to bring everything that’s on the list, and you might want to bring something different, but it serves as a pretty good guide.
- I strongly recommend you bring something to sit on. Camp chairs are good.
- It’s worth drawing up a meal plan (what you’re going to eat, and when) to make sure that you have a reasonably balanced, reasonable amount of food.
- It’s worth bringing earplugs, because not all men sleep silently.
- If there are items you can’t get, talk to me, and we’ll work something out. I have spares of most things.
- There will be a fire, and there is a barbecue plate available.
- We’re next to the Hawkesbury River, and apparently the fishing is good.

A FINAL POINT
I’d encourage you go through the Daily Prayer, well, daily. Not as a liturgy, but so that you can get a feel for where you might need to concentrate prayer.
