The Journey
The inner process of the Vision Quest begins
with the decision to make thejourney. In the days
prior to the solo time, there are individual meetings
with Rob to ensure that the quester's main purpose
and issues are close to the surface, ready to
take to the mountain. Instruction is given for
desert safety and appreciation and there are teachings
about the Sacred Wheel of Life and its application
to the quest. Questers are encouraged to use their
journals to deepen their experience. Time is allowed
for exploration and enjoyment of the desert.
Vision Questers find a special power place for
their three days of solitary time, fasting and
opening to a visionsong and dance. Each quester
weaves their own mythic journey and shares it
in a circle.
Care is given to the reincorporation process so
that the gifts received on the mountain are available
and useful after the quester re-enters the everyday
world.
Questers come from all walks of life and backgrounds,young
and old alike, at all stages of physical ability.
The quest provides a perfect backdrop for people
to explore their inner landscapes, as well as
their relationship to the wilderness.
Vision Questing is a vehicle for discovering
and trusting the inner authority that is so often
lost in the process of socialisation. It is designed
so that each quester can find their own edge and
push it, returning to their lives with a more
expanded and confident sense of self. |
