Wild at Heart BASIC is not a retreat about the "seven things a man ought to do to be a nicer guy."   


It is an immersive journey to recover the masculine heart.  


Give yourself permission... to explore your deepest desires, to reawaken passion, and connect to the goodness and nobility of your heart.  


To know yourself... to find a life worth living, to love a woman deeply, and raise children well, you simply must get your heart back.  


Join us.

What you will experience...

"Written on every man's heart is a yearning for adventure, battle, and a beauty"

                                                                                                                                                                                         ~ John Eldredge

A man needs a deeper understanding of why these longings govern him—and why God made him just like that. These desires are good and natural and were placed in your heart by God.   And he needs a deeper understanding of why women long to be fought for, to be swept up into adventure, and to be the beauty.

 

What if? What if those deep desires in our hearts are telling us the truth, revealing to us the lives we were meant to live? God gave us eyes so that we might see; he gave us ears that we might hear; he gave us wills that we might choose; and he gave us hearts that we might live. The way we handle the heart is everything. A man must know he is powerful; he must know he has what it takes.

 

The story of Return To Glory / Wild at Heart boot camp is one of men encountering God and experiencing breakthrough, freedom, and strength restored.   This is not a retreat about the “seven things a man ought to do to be a nicer guy.” It is an immersive quest into the recovery of a man’s masculine soul, the release of a man’s heart—his passions and his true nature—all given him by God. It’s an invitation to rush the fields at Bannockburn, to go West, to leap from the falls and save the beauty. For if a man is going to know who he truly is as a man, if he is going to find a life worth living, love a woman deeply, and not pass on his confusion to his children, he simply must get his heart back. 


Return To Glory Basic is a collection of Wild at Heart Boot Camp videos from John Eldredge and his team. The content and presented materials are the exact same as a live Boot Camp experience, which have been restoring the hearts of men, in partnership with the Holy Spirit, since 2002.  The Return To Glory team will be supplementing these videos with live presentations as well, sharing their experiences from years of living in this message that we call "The Larger Story" which we started in 2008.   The Boot Camp is composed of video/live sessions, time alone with God, and play time, all to nourish our souls.  Our team will be sharing their stories live as part of the sessions,  and in optional breakout sessions addressing the key points of John's teaching.  


Speaking of "play time":  There will be long breaks on Friday and Saturday for adventure.  Anchored Camp offers all kinds of water adventures.  Laser tag!   We may have a guest helicoper on site with rides.    And of course we have campfires in the evening, where we gather to share our stories, bring our questions, and begin to form bands of brothers.  https://anchored.camp/
