Step Out of the Noise and Into a Calling That Has Been Waiting for You
There are moments when life becomes crowded with unanswered questions and unspoken desires. You sense a need for quiet, for direction, for a deeper encounter with the One who knows you fully. You feel the pull to step away from familiar patterns and into a place where you can hear clearly again. The ReCALL program was created for this very moment.
Set among the dolomites of northern Italy, ReCALL is a seven-day backpacking experience that blends rugged challenge with intentional spiritual formation. This is not a typical outdoor trip. It is a journey where solitude becomes a teacher, silence becomes a companion, and the wilderness becomes a place of healing, reflection, and renewed purpose.
For those who feel the desire to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover their calling, ReCALL offers the space and rhythm needed to meet God in a profoundly personal way.
A Wilderness Immersion Designed for Depth, Clarity, and Spiritual Renewal
ReCALL begins with movement. You step into the mountains and feel the terrain shaping the pace of your heart. The early days center on learning backcountry skills, building trust within your group, and preparing emotionally and spiritually for what lies ahead.
Then, the journey shifts inward. After establishing community, participants enter a period of extended solitude and silence. These days become an invitation to leave behind distractions, release old burdens, and discover the kind of clarity that only comes when the world grows quiet.
This is a week that reshapes your entire perspective. Through prayer, fasting, and personal reflection, participants begin to understand the deeper layers of identity, calling, and the work God is doing beneath the surface of everyday life.
Solitude and Silence That Renew the Soul
After the initial group-building phase, participants enter four days marked by solitude, reflection, and guided spiritual practices.
Silence That Makes Space for God
The quiet valleys and remote ridges provide an environment where the heart can finally breathe. Without distraction or noise, the mind settles, and space opens for honest prayer and deep listening.
A Three-Day Fast for Clarity and Breakthrough
Fasting has long been a practice for those seeking spiritual renewal. In ReCALL, this ancient discipline is woven into the journey in a safe, guided way. Participants discover how fasting clears the mind, awakens spiritual sensitivity, and opens pathways to emotional and relational healing.
Personal Reflection and Scripture Meditation
Each participant receives tools and scripture readings to anchor their time alone. These prompts guide reflection on identity, purpose, forgiveness, hope, and the next steps God may be inviting them to take.
Encountering the Creator in Creation
Every sunrise, every quiet moment by a stream, every star-filled night becomes a reminder that God speaks through His creation. Many participants describe their time in ReCALL as a turning point when they encountered the presence of God in a life-changing way.
Community That Supports and Strengthens You
Although much of ReCALL is spent alone, the program is built upon a foundation of community. The first two days focus on learning to trust one another, practicing vulnerability, and forming bonds that carry through the week.
Participants learn to encourage, support, and serve each other as they journey through the mountains. When the group returns from solitude, they share insights, struggles, and moments of clarity. These conversations become a sacred space for honesty, empathy, and collective growth. The community rhythm of ReCALL mirrors the balance of life: moments to walk alone and moments to walk together.
Physical Challenge That Builds Resilience and Inner Strength
The mountains ranges chosen for ReCALL are rugged and beautiful. Trails rise sharply and drop suddenly. Weather shifts without warning. Nights grow cold. Days stretch long. This environment shapes the heart as much as the body.
These challenges become metaphors for everyday life. As participants push through the physical demands of the journey, they discover a deeper strength they did not realize they carried.
