Fran
brings a loving intensity to her vision guidance. I continue to feel
the container she put together over a year ago that allowed my fellow
questers and I to experience a delicate balance of safety and wild
wonder. Fran embodies the Spirit that beckons us to discover the lost
secrets of self-nurture and healing. I am deeply gratified that Fran
is in my life.

I’ve had the good fortune of being both a participant in one of Fran’s
Vision Quests and at another time apprenticed with her – both times
in Vermont. There is no one I would trust more than Fran to design
and structure a Vision Quest that allows one to explore the reconciliation
of the heart, soul, and mind. Few know how to ask the deepening questions,
and few have the courage to design an experience where those questions
are asked and received with such relief and encouragement.
Fran’s focus, much as Rumi's, is the integration of the inner and
the outer worlds through the venue of an enriching Vision Quest experience.
You will not leave this emersion into the natural world without the
reawakening of your soul.

I have spent four days in the woods alone before and have experienced
a deep sense of peace, but with Fran's guidance I was able to go deeper
without fear and to make contact with that which needed healing. The
vision fast I did with Fran lifted me out of a 10-month depression.
Fran is a strong and capable guide who inspires trust and faith as
well as a tender, loving, and supportive mid-wife to whatever needs
birthing. I wish that everyone who is struggling through a life transition
could participate in one of Fran's vision quests.
