For millennia humans have entered the desert alone to seek guidance for their lives. In this mystic landscape you come in contact with the center of your own being, with your strength and fears, and open yourself to natural guidance and insight. While the central experience of the vision quest occurs in solitude, the quest leaders and your fellow questers form a community of support for you during the journey. The first three days are spent together at a base camp near an exquisite canyon, orienting to the land and learningpractices from different wisdom traditions to help deepen the experience of your quest. You then walk out alone to spend three days and nights in a place of power you have chosen.
Most participants choose to fast while on their solo, consuming only water.
The key is to leave behind all things which may distract you, allowing your inner life to open to the sacred rhythms of nature. Upon your return to base camp you engage in an essential re-entry process to better understand and integrate your solo experience. People of all ages, experience, and physical conditions have successfully participated in the desert vision quest. For serious physical limitations approval of leaders is required.
