WA Nature Quest

Every human being is capable of coming into profound appreciation of our inherent, fundamental interconnectedness and what that means for our role in this life. The Quest process initiates us into this way of being, rapidly removing layers that keep us in a perception of separateness and providing space for guidance and insight to be received.

The Quest process involves spending 4 days and nights in one sacred circle, fasting from all things familiar including food. You will go out with practices to cultivate presence, receptivity, universal energy and an open heart along with a beautiful directions ceremony. You don’t ‘do’ much at all, but a lot happens as your senses become more refined, the blockages to connection lift and you move towards your natural state. Of course nature is a great ally in this process, helping you become part of the team.

Often people come to quest work when they feel ready to move into the next phase of their lives. Sometimes this transition is voluntary, other times not. Various intents can be brought into the quest. Often (as with the traditional vision quest), the intent is to receive a vision or other form of guidance of the individual’s purpose in this lifetime and learn how to be in service. Sometimes it is to move through an experience and come back into harmony. Sometimes it is to experience deeper connection with inner and outer nature, or to utilise the time for deep prayer for Earth. Whatever the call, you cannot go wrong in honouring it.

It is of immeasurable value for people to come to know what is theirs to do, finding the inner strength and the support of Nature, and overcoming the doubts and wounds that present as obstacles. It is an honour to offer this work that truly is in service to the whole. 

“The ultimate aim of the quest must be neither release nor ecstasy for oneself, but the wisdom and power to serve others.”

3 nights together for preparation training – meditation and other awareness training, qi gong/energy cultivation and ceremonial practices, discussions around the campfire, walking the land and logistical preparation for the AllOne time.
4 nights AllOne time – in a small, personal campsite without interruption or distraction, just being with both inner and outer Nature, listening, offering, receiving, letting go, letting come.
Return from solo on the morning of the second last day to share with the group and prepare for reintegration.

Coming back into ‘normal’ life can feel very abrupt so I highly encourage everyone to honour the reintegration time and leave as much room as possible for self-care, love and inward reflection in the week or two following the Quest. More about that and the rest of the schedule in the registration pack. 

All meals (organic as much as possible and vegetarian) for the group time are included. We may share some food preparation and cleaning up duties together. Fasting is recommended for the solo time, for several reasons. If you wish to bring food on the solo it is the responsibility of the participant to provide food during this time. More details on fasting and preparation are sent upon registration.
