RECOVER YOUR
WILD HEART.

A four day retreat for men to 
rediscover who they truly are.

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 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.

“Amazing. Inspired by the men I was around to make war on evil—my own, then the world’s. To work in God's mighty strength, not only mine, to be the best. To live free. To take the adventure. to write a good story with my life. To pursue my wife. To cultivate her beauty. I only knew a few men well going into the retreat. Loved meeting new friends.”

We will be spending the weekend at Christwalk in the Valley Retreat Center. Christwalk in the Valley is a 55 acre Christian Retreat in the mountains of North Georgia near Tallulah Gorge State Park. It is nestled in a valley between 4 mount ranges. It is a place where you can retreat from the business of the world and experience the presence of the Lord through His creation.

Lodging is all inclusive cabin style, with linens and towels provided.  Free time is built into the retreat on Friday and Saturday afternoons. On-site and nearby activities are available including hiking up to Hemlock Falls, Miles Through Time Automotive Museum, Tallulah State Park, fishing, etc. You may want to bring a hammock or camp chair to find a spot for some alone time or to make new friendships. In the evenings we will have a campfire down by the dining hall.

This event is designed for men ages 18 and older. College students welcomed.

If you have a physical disability that limits your mobility, please contact us so we can make special arrangements for you.
