Why do I need BASIC?

A man needs a deeper understanding of why these longings govern him—and why God made him just like that. And he needs a deeper understanding of why women long to be fought for, to be swept up into adventure, and to be the beauty.

What if? What if those deep desires in our hearts are telling us the truth, revealing to us the lives we were meant to live? God gave us eyes so that we might see; he gave us ears that we might hear; he gave us wills that we might choose; and he gave us hearts that we might live. The way we handle the heart is everything. A man must know he is powerful; he must know he has what it takes.

This is not a retreat about the “seven things a man ought to do to be a nicer guy.” It is a four-day quest into the recovery of a man’s masculine soul, the release of a man’s heart—his passions and his true nature—all given him by God. It’s an invitation to rush the fields at Bannockburn, to go West, to leap from the falls and save the beauty. For if a man is going to know who he truly is as a man, if he is going to find a life worth living, love a woman deeply, and not pass on his confusion to his children, he simply must get his heart back.

Join us virtually through Zoom from our Wildmen Outpost in Burlington, Vermont.  The BASIC is being broken up over 8-Weeks to allow for those who can’t take three full days for a traditional event.  We will meet on Thursday nights, beginning September 17, 2020, from 8:00 PM until approximately 10:00 PM.

This event is being facilitated by long-time Wildmen Ministry and Wild at Heart Ally Scott Ptak.  Scott has been walking in the Wild at Heart message for almost 20-years, has spoken at and facilitated a number of Boot Camps, Advanced Camps and Intensives and was a Pastor for 25-years.  He has a calling and a passion to go after the hearts of men.  We would love to have you join us…
