There are over 40 000 accounts of mystics going into the wilderness.  Why?  Why has the mystic and the natural world been intertwined with symbolic meaning and the path of awakening to a different way of perceiving life since the beginning of human experience? I go into the wilderness alone for 40 days and 40 nights to try and answer that question from inside that experience.

My hope is to explore the archetype of the mystic in nature
How my consciousness changes outside the structures of modern life
Explore the dynamics of solitude and what it means to be wild
