Drawing from cross-cultural approaches to nature based rites of passage, these quests include group preparation meetings during the month prior to the journey time, solo time fasting in nature, and guided integration of the experience. These are not light weekend workshops, but involve a deep commitment and a willingness to face the sometimes uncomfortable journey towards one's deepest truths. They have the potential to foster healing, vision, and empowerment. They inevitably strengthen us in bringing meaning and awareness of the sacred into all aspects of life.

A Solo Rite of Passage in the Wild

OPEN TO DEEP COMMUNION WITH MOTHER EARTH

This experience offers an opportunity to explore the deepest question; that you have about yourself as a human being. "Who am I?", "What am doing here?" In the way of ancient rites of passage, we enter into the inner and outer landscape of Nature for guidance and healing. Each individual brings his or her own intentions to this process, which may address:

* healing past traumas or wounds
* marking life transitions
* envisioning direction for the future

Earth Quests include careful, guided preparation with a group, 2-4 days of solo time in the wild and sensitive support for re-entry and integration. We honor the need for both community relatedness and solitude.
