The wilderness
is a place beyond borders, off the map, outside the influence of
systems that dominate, domesticate, and oppress. For ages the
wilderness has been a place of refuge, retreat, and renewal for
human beings. It has also been a place of abundance, of timely
gifts and surprising blessings, a place where people receive
visions of who and what they are meant to be.
The Wilderness
Way Community seeks to be “wilderness” for those who struggle
under the burdens of human-made systems, who seek another way than
the way of domination and subjugation, revolution and reaction. We
are a group of about 15 adults and kids sharing a common life
through practicing “wilderness ways”. Some of us are followers
of Jesus’ way of life, suffering love, and nonviolence; others
come from other traditions, or no
tradition at all. We are all responsible for what we believe and
how we behave toward one another, with the intention of welcoming
all who desire to travel with us and a “well-leave” for those
who are moving on to other ventures.
