VISION QUEST

28 February - 7 March 2023

Venue

Koh Yaonoi, Southern Thailand

Vision Quest is an ancient Native American ceremony-based practice to help a person make a meaningful and significant life transition, facilitated by community and nature. People seek rites of passage in times of significant life transition or to complete earlier uncompleted life transitions. In many traditions the transition from adolescence to adulthood is an important time for initiation; adolescents need the chance to confirm their fitness and willingness to step towards adulthood; mid-life, marriage, divorce, loss, or simply a time of confusion and disillusionment are also common calls to a wilderness rite of passage. These practices facilitate ego-transcendence and an opening to spirit. In doing so, they also bring healing and renewed connections with lost or abandoned capacities for guidance, vitality, and joy. Their goals include bringing back one’s personal power, stability, energy, wisdom, or maturity that is expressed in service to others and to the Earth.
