10-Day Vision Quest for Women A Rite of Passage in the California Desert The vision quest is an ancient rite of passage that provides an opportunity to step away from your busy life and slow down enough to hear the voice of the natural world. Each individual comes to this ceremony with a personal intention – a deliberate search for clarity associated with a specific life passage, a ceremonial marking of a significant time or event, or a quest for healing, balance, restoration, and/or connection with spirit and the natural world. The ten-day journey begins by living in community close to the earth, sharing your intention with others in a circle of deep listening, and participating in ceremonies that help strengthen, honor, and celebrate your life. We will sing, drum, and ask for wisdom and guidance from the natural world as each participant prepares for her four-day solo journey onto the earth. This traditional period of solitude, fasting, and exposure to the natural world is where you will face yourself, see your life reflected in the mirror of nature, and come to recognize and appreciate your own unique gifts. Following the four-day period of solitude, you will return to base camp to rejoin the others. We will then settle into two days of storytelling, where you’ll share the story of your journey and the guides will reflect and confirm the gifts you received during your time alone on the earth. We will continue to live together on the land as we prepare to bring the gifts of the vision quest back to our families, the larger community, and our daily lives.Sponsored by Wilderness Rites, LLC For information or to register, please contact: Susan Hagen – 209-745-9029 Skye Bailey – 415-246-6888 Click here for a pdf flyer of program description.
