Inspiration & Description

The Quest is a universal expression of the human longing to come face to face with the Self, and to align with the true potential of the soul. Expressed in ancient wisdom traditions around the globe, people have been returning, alone, to the land for eons to received soul reflection, clarity, direction and vision.


The universe is an animate intelligence, a dance of soul and spirit. Every aspect of Nature is soul, has soul, is an expression and a reflection of soul. When we journey alone into a space of communion with nature and open to the total interconnectivity and intersubjectivity of the universe, we receive true reflections of our own highest gifts and knowing. In receiving such Vision, we are empowered to return to the world to give the one gift only we can give.


This is the invitation we offer you.


ASK, LISTEN, SURRENDER, RECEIVE, INTUIT, KNOW.

YOUR SOUL AND THE WORLD ARE ONE.


Details

VISION is open to the general public. It is also one of three core modules of the Dancing Freedom Facilitator Training Series. Applicants must be ready for a true dive into emptiness and for immersion wilderness experience. We will spend two days together, laying a fertile ground for consciousness through community ritual, dance, fire circle and body purification. Then, each participant will spend four days and three nights solo fasting, praying and listening in the wilderness. On the sixth day, we regather to harvest and reflect the wisdom each of our journeys has gifted.


Note: this is not a "Native American" Vision Quest. It is a "New Earth" Vision Quest held in the intelligence of universal pattern and the light of Source. Samantha claims to no particular lineage in the calling to facilitate this experience. Rather, she shares from what she has facilitated and experienced in herself as she has listened to her soul's call to return to the wilderness. Additionally, this offering is influenced and inspired by Lakota, Ojibway and Huna lineages, and the work of Bill Plotkin.
