VISION QUESTS

Vision Quests are a soulful gift to self; a time for deep introspection into the heart of what matters most.  They connect you with the elements, the Worlds of Grandmother Earth, your Higher Self, and Spirit.  Vision Quests are meant to be challenging so that you connect with your inner will to find the power, clarity, and direction you are seeking.  The first ceremony is an intense 24 hour period of fasting, teachings, ceremony, and a night in your own medicine wheel in which you will look fearlessly at your patterns of life; the reality of your shadow self and beauty of your light/gifts/talents. What personal mythologies and beliefs are holding you back from engaging in life at its highest level?  This first Vision Quest will initiate you into the “Great Work”; the inner journey to heal oneself and find the warrior within. 

These time-tested ceremonies are part of the Sweet Medicine Sundance Path.  The ceremonies from the first 3 gateways of our tradition are open to all seekers and apprentices.  Ceremonies and vision quests are done in a specific order designed to support our growth.  Subsequent vision quests are longer and each has a different focus and intent.   For more information about the gateway process visit the Apprenticeship section in Shamanic Programs.

A Ceremonial Weekend at Spirit Canoe Lodge is scheduled once a year. Private groups or individuals may schedule as the calendar allows.  Contact Kelly for costs and more information.
