To answer the call of the Vision Quest is to embark on a sacred journey into the depths of our inner Spirit and into the heart of our Mother Earth. The power of the Vision Quest enables us to see our life clearly, to face fears, let go of
the past and find a new guiding vision for our life. As a rite-of-passage the Vision Quest addresses the need to let go of outmoded ways of being and open to new beginnings.


For thousands of years different forms of the Vision Quest have been practiced by various tribal cultures throughout the world. In modern society we have forgotten our inherent need to honor important times of change and renew our lives. The Vision Quest Wilderness Passage offers you this valuable opportunity.


There are numerous
reason why people embark on a Vision Quest. Among these are to mark a significant life passage, to heal and release past emotional wounds, to move through grief and loss, to celebrate the transition into marriage, to find work that has more fulfillment and meaning, to reconnect with the earth, and to discover a deeper meaning about one's contribution to the community of all Life.

  3. •A sweat lodge purification ceremony.

  4. •In depth individual and group support for focusing your intentions for the Quest.
