Hear the calling

Find rest in wilderness

Heal in community

We believe that we are called to offer friendship and fellowship to each other. We believe that in true friendship we can locate and look at the things in our life that make it difficult to find rest.

On our retreats we explore ways to be participants in our own healing journey. We set aside time each day to ask questions and learn to listen and look for the answers. We believe in and follow Jesus but we don’t expect for you to. It’s not our agenda to have you agree to anything during your time with us.

We just hope that you’d remain open to hear our experiences and let us show your our perspectives.

Hey y’all I’m Benjamin. The guy behind W&F Outfitters. I’ve been a touring guitarist for about 20 years now. For the last decade I’ve been playing christian music and probably have played on something you’ve heard.

My story, like so many of yours, has many chapters and many layers. From growing up in the church, to running away from it all and losing myself in drug addiction and alcoholism. Some years ago I met a guy who believed in me. He offered me his friendship.

Through that friendship I came to believe that Jesus was worth getting to know. After following Jesus I learned that I was still dealing with a lot of inner pain and shame. It’s hard to live the life I lived and not have some major regrets. Shattered dreams and shattered relationships were a part of my story of following Him.

But friendship after friendship I began to learn that He’s not like I thought He was. It just takes time, space, and intentionality to walk from shame to freedom. From brokenness to wholeness.

I’d love to spend some time with you and swap stories. I’d love to share with you what I’ve learned from folks much wiser than I. I’d love to help you become who you are meant to be. Wild. And Free.

Thank you @of_the_field, @isaacneale, @wildlifephotogmedia, and @dw.outdoorphoto for your amazing pictures and belief in what we do!!!!
