“A
vision without a task remains a dream..
A task with out a vision is just a job.
A task with a vision can change the world."
From a church wall in Sussex England
Vision Quests foster a relationship with Earth, Spirit and Community that is based in gratitude and service. The individual's own spiritual journey is essential to the creation and nurturance of spiritual community that in turn supports the growth of the individual. This best occurs when the individual intention and gift meet the community need and future.

Reincorporation Support
The return to home, work and community often brings challenges.
We get caught up in our daily routines. Life events test our resolve. We
seem to forget what really happened out there. Renewal Fasts
are offered each year to return, to remember and to deepen commitments made
during the solo fast. Renewal programs are shorter in duration, from 3-5
days. Councils are held throughout the year for anyone
who has enacted a solo fast. At these gatherings we support each other’s
unfolding spiritual journey. Mentoring and Coaching
are offered for those who want individual support and guidance.
Day Walks offer a day in solitude, carrying a question or a yearning that is pressing in your life. Participants meet the evening before in a Council to clarify intention and receive instructions for the day walk including the option of fasting. The next day from dawn to dusk, people begin their walk in a natural setting, following the inclinations of their heart, the wanderings of their mind and the call of the land and it’s inhabitants. A story emerges in response to the question. A second Council is held either that evening or the next morning where the stories are heard and reflected back for meaning.
