Vision Quest - an Ancient Rite of Passage
Information coming soon
Vision Quest
A sacred ceremony - it feels like dying and passing through or being reborn. It is an intensely personal journey to self knowledge carried out in the wilderness.
Imagine your life has brought you to the courageous decision to experience a vision or fasting quest in the solitude of the wilderness. Given our cultural bias against such hardships, your decision would no doubt be a heroic one. But it is important to realise that wilderness plant diets fasts have actually been a part of human culture for many thousands of years and that untold numbers of people have vision quested as a means of celebrating or confirming a life passage, a time of change.
Our society in the West and indeed globally have less and less natural and nurturing Rites of Passage, certainly few supported by a caring community.
As I mentioned in my brief introduction, I had reached a place where I could discover no way through the many issues which had come to a head in my life at that time. Instinctively I reached out for a means beyond that offered by the fabric of the culture here in Ireland. A call for help like this never goes unanswered. It took me on a completely different journey, a path of the heart.
As a result I now offer you the opportunity to call 'time out' and to take yourself to one of the few wilderness regions still existing on our planet, the magnificent Amazonian Rainforest, to go on a Vision Quest for you and all of those you will touch by how you live your life.
