Wild at Heart Retreat

Join men in your community for an event featuring video sessions and content based on John Eldredge’s best-selling book Wild At Heart.

A Wild At Heart Retreat (formerly BASIC) isn't just another men's retreat. That's the last thing anybody needs. The reason most messages for men ultimately fail is simple: they ignore what is deep and true to a man's heart and try to shape him up through various forms of pressure.

Not this. This event is an honest, no-BS trek into the deep passions and desires of a man's heart, the healing of the wounds he's taken in this battle, the realm of fatherhood and sex and God and calling—life as it was meant to be lived.

For over two decades, Wild At Heart retreats, featuring John and his team in-person, have taken place in remote locations around the world. Previously, only individuals who could afford and manage the travel had access to these impactful gatherings. Today, this transformative event is accessible to men everywhere by empowering local hosts in facilitating this life-changing journey for the men in their communities. Wild At Heart Retreats package all video sessions from the live events, along with resources designed to support local hosts.

Through the sessions, times of quiet reflection, movies, adventures and downtime, you will discover something profound about the heart of God and the heart he gave you as a man. Those who come say it is one of the greatest weekends of their entire life. Now It’s your turn.
