The Calling.. Deep within your soul lies a fire that directs your passion and purpose. Often this flame lies quiet like the ancient whispers of smoldering embers; sometimes being directed by those internal voices that came from another time and place and do not belong to you. You reach out to your brothers and sisters and echo these words- "Who am I?"

"...a life changing opportunity to remember what in my life is sacred and the insights about what to do with that experience. I plan to offer the experience to my children as they come of age. I loved it." - Carpenter, age 40


The Vision Quest Ceremony..

is a powerful rite of passage for men and women answering the call of 'Who am I?' and for honoring life transitions, expansions, and/or crisis. You will experience village life, poetry, drumming, song and dance, the SweatLodge Ceremony, ecopsychology, journeying, dreaming, and ritual process healing. You will spend three days and three nights fasting in the wilderness connecting evermore with Spirit. You will be guided in understanding the nature of what lies ahead during this Vision Quest Ceremony, along with the various ceremonial aspects of the initiatory process. You will learn the necessary physical knowledge of wilderness safety. You will be prepared emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually to enter this phase of your initiation. After your Vision Quest Ceremony you will step back through the threshold circle to rejoin your village. Together we will sit in council sharing your stories and visions, unfolding and clarifying your experience with nature and Spirit. We will assist you in co-creating a personal myth of your threshold experience that reflects the gifts, and dreams you will carry home to your people.

Professional Training credit is available for those in the healing profession attending the 9 Day Healing Encampment with Vision Quest Ceremony experience. For details, click the link above.

Phase II: 9 Day Healing Encampment with 2-Days of Personal Medicine work and Vision Quest Ceremony is available for initiates who have attended the 9 or 11-Day Encampment before. For more information, click link above.

"The Vision Quest was the single most wonderful, most terrifying, most eye opening experience I've ever had in my life. I really started learning who I am and what my path looks like." - Librarian, age 33.
