Custom Quests

What is a Quest?

 

A quest is both an inner and an outer journey. It is the hero's adventure, where one sets out to ask a question or explore an area of life, looking perhaps for answers, direction or clarity.

The quest can be an opportunity to take time out from life to connect with Nature, your spiritual beliefs or to mark a significant event or life transition. Quests often take place in Nature where the trees, rocks, stones, weather and animals become our teachers.

To customize your own quest, I will meet with you individually to listen to your story and your needs at this time. Together, we will create a quest that matches who you are and where you are in your life right now.

 
 
 

"Your soul knows the geography of your destiny. Your soul alone has the map of your future, therefore you can trust this indirect, oblique side of yourself. If you do, it will take you where you need to go, but more important it will teach you a kindness of rhythm in your journey.”

|    John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

Program

I offer several types of quests to choose from.

Day Quests
A 6-to-8–hour medicine walk with the majority of the time spent walking and sitting in Nature. This includes a one-hour individual session before and after the solo time. Solo time is time spent alone in Nature to contemplate and reflect on one’s life. It is a time to fast from food, shelter and human contact, to eliminate distractions and listen deeply to the wisdom of Nature and your own soul. The amount of solo time varies and depends on your needs and availability. This can be helpful when a longer quest is not possible.

Mini Quest
A powerful intensive immersion in a 3-hour time period. The participant is guided with solo time, movement, art, guided imagery and discussion. This is a wonderful way to get a taste of a quest experience with a minimal time commitment.

 

 

Prepare for your journey

After we have a phone consultation or session to plan your custom quest, you will receive an equipment list and customized reflection questions that will help prepare you for your time in Nature. You will bring a small backpack, journal, pens, water bottle and appropriate attire for the weather.

"Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back. From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing that will never again let you linger in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment. The eternal makes you urgent. You are loath to let compromise or the threat of danger hold you back from striving toward the summit of fulfillment."

– John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
