What is Vision Quest?
Vision Quest is a simple, powerful ceremony of homecoming. You spend four days and nights in solitude, in the bush, without distractions. This is a process of detoxification from habits and thought patterns, from old ways of feeling and being. By moving through and past these patterns we can access a deeper clarity about who we are and why we are here. We can connect with our passion, our joy, with the things that nourish and move us.
Why do Vision Quest?
Have you been touched by those moments when everything lined up, and for a breath, or an hour, or a day, life revealed itself in all its magic, and everything felt perfect, all the way through? When everything flowed and you felt alive and connected and whole?
That experience of wholeness is our birthright. Most of us touch that place in fragments, and many describe it as a homecoming. Coming home to ourselves, who we really are, underneath the judgements and beliefs, the fears and wounds that keep us small, stuck and struggling.
Vision Quest is one of the purest, most powerful tools to help us move toward our true nature. It’s simply a time to make space, to finally stop running from ourselves, to let fall the shackles of our conditioning and truly allow ourselves to be.
Being with the truth of ourselves, all the gritty, gnarly, amazing, magnificent parts, is necessary for us to come home. In Vision Quest we learn to be present to all of ourselves, welcome every voice, say yes.
The location is pristine wilderness area, next to a river that comes straight out of the mountains.
This ceremony comes through the lineage of Lipan Apache Grandfather Stalking Wolf (thorough Tom Brown, Jr and Malcolm Ringwalt).
During this eight day program, Gina and Lee spend time preparing you for the Quest, and facilitate the processes that allow you to gain maximum benefit from your ceremony in nature. After the Quest there is time to integrate and rest, and you receive tools for understanding and processing the information you gleaned during your Quest.
