We have been called to and are being called by a new or different paradigm of the sacred that is making fundamental demands on our personhood and view of self, God, and the world. These individuals are following a spiritual journey in the desert — to a desert spirituality — outside the bounds of time and place to come face-to-face with what moves them most deeply and opens their bodies and souls to glimpse a new unveiling of the sacred.
