Vision Quest
Tuesday, May 25 - Sunday, May 30
This vision quest will be a special opportunity for deepening your connection with yourself, nature, and spirit. Although each person's experience is unique, we expect that you will have a renewed sense of purpose for your life, a reminder of your most important intimate relationships, and feel an overall clarity of mind, body, and spirit.
The primary activities will include a 2-night solo, meditation, ceremony, group inquiry and a sweat lodge. The solo is an integral part of the vision quest experience, lasting for two nights and three days, by allowing you to contemplate your life free from the distractions of others and the busyness of day to day life. Fasting during the solo is an option if you are interested. The quest will conclude with group sessions to help you deepen your understanding of the vision quest experience and integrate this learning into your daily life.
