Wild of the Called Odyssey 2025
About the Odyssey:
"Wild of the Called," is an odyssey for those discerning their vocational future, set amidst the mystical landscapes of Cappadocia, Turkey. Journey into a land of enchanting cave dwellings and ancient underground cities, where the spiritual and architectural marvels inspire deep reflection. Experience the warmth and hospitality of the Turkish spiritual community, whose traditions offer rich insights and guidance. As we explore Cappadocia's unique culture, architecture, and history, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery, contemplating our next vocational steps and what we are being called to pursue. Join us on this transformative adventure, where the mystical allure of Cappadocia meets the profound quest for purpose and direction.
