Four days alone in nature, a fast from all things familiar, an ancient rite of passage, a sacred ceremony of transformation and healing like no other. The Vision Quest is as old as human societies and has been used by indigenous peoples and mystical societies all over the world. The Vision Quest is universal because it is so simple and it works.
“You come face to face with yourself, and get to know more deeply who you are (and who you are not). With all distractions and the noise of daily life removed, and the voices of those around you silenced, you are more able to hear the whisperings of your soul reminding you why you came here in this life. 4 days and 4 nights — just you alone with the Creator.” ~Malcolm Ringwalt (theonenessquest.com).
Find joy in living a life of purpose and meaning; discover the judgements and beliefs that limit you, and explore the freedom, beauty and creativity that spring from the core of who you are and your communion with Nature and the Mystery that surrounds and dwells within you.
The teachings we are passing along are from the Lipan Apache elder and shaman, Stalking Wolf, who after 60 years of wandering and learning from spiritual people of many different faiths, distilled them down to the essentials, free of attachment to any particular culture or religious tradition, and therefore available to all.
