TV Vicar Leads Desert Retreats



on 2012/2/6 18:40:00 (72 reads)

A new desert retreat with ‘Extreme Pilgrim’ Peter Owen Jones in the Sinai wilderness offers the chance to get a different perspective.

Peter Owen Jones, who spent three and a half weeks living in a Sinai desert cave for the filming of BBC TV’s Extreme Pilgrim series, now offers a condensed eight-day taster of this remarkable, life-changing experience.

Jones will be running two eight-day retreats back to back in March, which are being facilitated by the Makhad Trust, a UK charity working to sustain the heritage and traditional way of life of the Sinai desert’s Bedouin tribes. Sixty percent of all proceeds from the retreat journeys will contribute directly to the local Bedouin economy.

Together, after experimenting with prototypes, they created the Ridan composter.

Capable of composting up to 400 litres of food waste a week, they have helped divert over 1,000 tonnes from landfill in two years, according to the company. They are proving popular with hotels, National Trust sites, prisons and even climbing centres.
