A Vision Quest is a sacred ceremony
intended for those who are searching for greater clarity and focus
in their lives. It is an opportunity to celebrate life, to experience
a new depth of gratitude for the gifts each of us is given every
day. From another standpoint, it is a form of meditation and reflection
that can elicit deep and lasting change for those willing to explore
the pieces of their lives no longer working for them. Once widely
performed as a rite of passage by youngsters on the threshold
of adulthood, the Vision Quest comes to us from our indigenous
ancestors, and can help us understand our greater Truth or purpose
in life.
A Sweat Lodge ceremony and sage blessing purify
and prepare the Questers to enter their time of visioning. A Vision
Quest can be as short as one day or last for 3-4 days or longer.
This ceremony can be done with others or alone, and is usually
experienced without food or water.
