Vision Quest Ceremony - Asheville: May 6-16, 2025
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 directed by those internal voices, not belonging to you, that came from another time and place. You reach out to your brothers and sisters and echo these words: WHO AM I?
Through an eco-spiritual process we will assist you in releasing repressed emotions and old belief patterns that no longer serve you. This will enable you to identify, with clear intention, the passage of your life that you are ready to mark as you enter the threshold phase of your initiation. It is here that we will guide you in embracing new ways of living, loving and learning.
Within this eleven day village encampment is the 4 day and night “threshold phase” of the rite of passage. The time at base camp both before and after is surrounded by deep connection and community in nature with a Council of Elders who have walked this path before you. They are committed to serving as your ceremonial midwifes as you navigate the territory of your own crossing.
Bring your camping gear and get yourself to the meeting spot - everything else is provided, including:
Three meals a day (except when you are fasting!)
Four day, four night vision quest ceremony
A beautiful private property to camp, roam and swim (depending on the location you choose)
