Read what the most recent WilderneSS participants have to say about their five days of solitude in the desert of Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California.

The inaugural Joshua Tree excursion proved to be just as life changing as the Colorado mountain excursion has been since its inaugural trip in 2002. Check out what the participants had to say about their time in the desert.

Here are some pictures from the inaugural Joshua Tree Desert Excursion. The stark beauty and desolate nature of the desert environment made it an ideal location for a WilderneSS excursion. WilderneSS is excited about adding this new excursion as more participants can now experience the life transforming spiritual training that WilderneSS offers.
