A
Vision Quest in many Native American Cultures is for finding direction
and one’s purpose in life. As we go
through different cycles in our journey, we may be given or ask for a
Vision Quest for many purposes. For example:
- Transition from youth to
adulthood
- Transition
from adulthood into the elder years
- Spiritual
awakening - which assists understanding the
difference between living and being.

There
is no restriction to whom and when a person can experience a Vision
Quest. Whenever there is a turning point in one’s
life, a Vision Quest can help guide the way and also bring you your
Spirit Animal, Spirit Guides, or other Spiritual teachers.
A
vision is defined as “Something seen in a dream, trance, or
ecstasy, especially a supernatural appearance that conveys a
revelation.”
– Webster’s
Dictionary
You
may experience your vision
through any of the four senses:
- Clairvoyance
–
vision through your mind’s eye or dream state.
- Clairsentience
–
your sense perceptions.
- Clairaudience
–
through your hearing perceptions.
- Clair-cognizance
–
your sense of ‘knowingness.’
As
well, your vision may come to you in symbols, color, words, pictures
or a film like scene. These are all ways that our inner
wisdom can communicate to us. At times you may not be able to
fully comprehend what the messages are trying to reveal but through
practice you will build a strong relationship with your inner
wisdom. Journaling and practice help to enhance this
relationship.
A quest is defined as a search with the purpose to find
something. One who is on a Quest may seek to find an answer
or an object - through vision, sense, auditory perception, research,
and travel.
Below are a few more examples why one may choose to experience a Vision
Quest:
- to
find one’s own
strength
- to
receive guidance in a
particular situation
- to
learn the answer to a
specific question
- to
learn a truth to deal
with a certain situation or challenge
- to
discover one’s
Spirit - the True Self Within
- to
establish one’s
divine purpose here on Mother Earth
- to ask
for the gifts and tools
to be given for the healing of self and others.
A
Vision Quest may be to apprentice with a Shaman or Spiritual
Leader/Teacher to learn traditional ways as well as allowing their own
gifts to develop. All Vision Quests are carefully determined
by your intention and goals.
A Vision Quest may be experienced in a confined space (such as an
igloo, teepee or small space) or outside amongst the
wilderness. In nature, healing can be magnified.
This is because its easier to stay grounded, centered, still, clear and
focused.
Additionally, a Vision Quest can be offered in a group or individual
setting. They may last hours or days and include fasting,
silence, movement, meditations, walking, periods of isolation,
assignments and many other sacred ceremonies.
Persistence
and patience is
required. In attaining this state
inner growth can flourish. And after the journey has ended,
the healing and meaning of the vision can continue to unfold for days
or even weeks.
Our mission is to provide a safe & loving space for you to
explore your own Inner Self, connection to Source and Spiritual
growth.
"Ït
is through our healing transformation, both within
ourselves and with others, that we all can experience spiritual
enlightenment and move positively forward in our lives. This
