Desert Trek 2010

Desert Trek was great. I really enjoyed the time to reflect and spend unhurried time talking and listening to God. It has been hard to replicate this in my life at home, especially as I have been sick. We were blessed by great weather. The camping, company and walking was fantastic.
In the end we had 27 participants, which was far beyond my expectations, and logistically much bigger than expected. I think that everything came together well though.
There were 3 themes to the trek; solitude, silence and prayer. Solitude being not retreating from life but connecting with God, silence as listening to God and prayer being praying from the heart. It has been a real highlight of the year so far. If we had 27 this year, how many will we have next year?
