One can still drink from the lakes, and moose, beaver, otter, loon, and eagle abound. Leaf bearing trees meet towering pines in this land of the Cambrian Shield, where the night skies are often lit by the Northern Lights. One gets the feeling here that the lake represents a source place of life, and that here one can stand in the place of the 'sacred'. The Temagami Vision Quest lasts a full eight days giving time for a deepening connection to psyche, nature and community. Daily, small dream groups are led by Jungian Analysts to interpret dreams and process experiences evoked by the program.
Large groups provide time for reflection and sharing in community.
Exploration of the traditions of shamanism, rites of passage and story telling aid in the discovery of personal myths. The week focuses on the rituals of the sweat lodge and the vision quest itself- a solo of two nights and two days. There is also time for an afternoon canoe trip to get a feel of travel in the North, as well as free time for swimming and relaxation. We find the experience at Temagami to be truly life changing. It is our belief that the adventure of the soul is the adventure of our time and is thus reflected in every aspect of the program.
