What is Vision Quest?
Vision Quest is an ancient ceremony that organically weaves the human spirit back into the web of all living things.
Over four days and nights, questers are given a simple and profound invitation to be remembered in their true essence. Through the beauty and power of Wild Nature you are returned back to your innate belonging to life.
Our Vision Quests are proudly run within the Stalking Wolf Lineage. Stalking Wolf was a Lipan Apache, Native American wise man and visionary who passed down his knowledge and teachings of the Vision Quest to Tom Brown Jr and Malcolm Ringwalt and further to Katie Rydge and Sam Robertson (Nature Philosophy | Nature Connection & Survival Courses | NSW) and Steve McKenzie (Soulpaths) who have trained us and our team.
Vision Quest is a healing balm for our fractured culture. A sanctuary of solitude and a place in which we sacrifice all distractions to listen to what our hearts and souls are asking us to hear. This ceremony of purity and simplicity creates the space and stillness needed to allow the intelligence of Nature to walk us through a rite of passage into a journey of our own becoming. Illuminating our innermost essence and supporting us to walk in a purposeful way with ourselves, Vision Quest creates a wider ripple amoung our communities and on our unique pathway of service and kinship in the world.
“Nature is a profound teacher. You know the difference between a bird that comes into your area where you don't think much about it and a bird that speaks to you. You know it instinctively. Nature will try to contact you that way. Lightning, thunder, wind, birds, animals, plants. A leaf you may have looked at for two days will suddenly have tremendous significance for you. You'll know instinctively what it means. It moves your whole being.”
