A Call to Solitude

I recently returned from southern Chile. On a small, remote island, I built a shelter and lived alone for a year to experience the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual effects of deep wilderness solitude. Here through photographs, videos, and writings we can explore this living alone together.

Solitude is sometimes dark and difficult, but there is deep joy abiding in the flickering stillness. Moments when, as unexpected gift, boundaries and buffers dissolve and All is, as it always was, sacred and alive. Solitude can remind us there is no true freedom except through surrendering to our own lives just as they are - here and now in each moment.
