VISION QUEST
Who am I?
Why have I come here?
Who did I come here to be?
What will I leave behind once I'm gone?
The vision quest is a critical rite of passage in our human evolution. When we "cry for a vision", we are saying that we are ready to take resposibility for our life and how we plan to live it. There is a realization that in order for life to feel richer, fuller and more meaningful, we must seek out the vision of who we came here to be. This impulse is fueled by our souls desire to experience growth, expansion and evolution. Once these awaken within us, it changes our perspective on what we value in our lives, enabling us to find a deeper meaning and purpose. Some things will drop away from our lives and new things will move in. Resisting these changes results in energy loss and dis-ease within. The longer we persist in this resistance, the more time and energy we waste on not moving and growing. This becomes painful and can eventually lead to sickness and illness in the body.
A vision quest is a sacred journey beyond the reality we have come to perceive and understand about our lives, into our vision of our true potential. It takes courage to examine and let go of one's beliefs and a leap of faith to accept the truth of who we really are. It's not enough to just find one's vision, it must be lived and experienced, otherwise it becomes a fantasy of wishful hoping.
Sacred Journeys offers Vision Quests that run for three days and two nights, where you are given the opportunity to spend time on the land, connecting to different aspects of yourself, participating in sweat lodges and having the safe container in which to find the vision you seek.
