The Vision Quest
AN ANCIENT RITE OF PASSAGE FOR MODERN TIMES
THE CALL
There comes a moment when the noise of the world grows too loud to hear yourself.
When achievement stops feeling like fulfillment, and the path forward no longer fits the person you’ve become.
The Vision Quest is a ceremony of stillness and courage — a return to the wild places, and to the truth waiting within you.
Over five or six days, we live close to the land.
Three of those days are spent alone — no phone, no food, no distractions. Just you, the elements, and what’s ready to be seen.
Before and after that time on the land, we gather in circle — to prepare, set intention, and integrate what emerges.
This is not a retreat.
It’s a rite of passage.
A threshold between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
Will you answer the call?
THE RHYTHM
Every Quest moves through an ancient rhythm: Severance. Threshold. Integration.
Severance is the release — the deliberate letting go of what no longer serves.
We begin by preparing body, mind, and spirit for ceremony.
You step away from your ordinary world, leaving behind roles, routines, and distractions.
This is where the noise starts to quiet.
Threshold is the crossing — three days and nights alone on the land.
Here, the wilderness becomes your mirror.
Without the usual comforts or identities, something deeper begins to speak.
This is the moment of encounter — between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
Integration is the return — the time to weave what you’ve seen into the fabric of daily life.
Through reflection, storytelling, and coaching, we anchor what was revealed so it doesn’t fade, but transforms how you live and lead.
Integration is also the act of bringing your vision back to your people — to lead, love, and serve from a place of clarity and truth.
The Quest is not just for you. It’s for everyone whose life you touch.
THE CIRCLE
Though each person quests alone, no one does this alone.
We enter as individuals, each carrying our own question, transition, or calling.
But as the days unfold, something ancient awakens — a circle forms.
Bound by silence, land, and shared intention, we become a community walking the same unseen edge.
The circle begins long before we step onto the land.
Through group and one-on-one preparation calls, we set intention, establish trust, and mark the moment when ordinary life starts to fall away.
Afterward, we gather again — to share stories, find meaning, and bring what was found back into the world.
The Quest begins and ends in community.
The circle is what holds it all.
THE PLACES
Each season, we gather in wild places that still hold silence — where the land itself becomes part of the ceremony.
The red rock canyons of Escalante, the high peaks of Colorado, the desert expanses of Baja — each landscape carries its own medicine.
The canyon teaches stillness and surrender.
The mountain calls forth strength and vision.
The desert reveals simplicity, truth, and space.
These are places that strip away pretense.
They remind us who we are beneath all the noise.
While these regions have become home for much of my work, we also travel to guide Quests in other sacred landscapes around the world — wherever the land calls and the intention is clear.
WHO IT'S FOR
The Vision Quest calls those who are standing at a turning point — founders, leaders, seekers, and anyone who senses that life is asking something more of them.
It’s for those navigating transition — between chapters, between identities, between who they’ve been and who they’re becoming.
For those who have achieved much, yet feel something essential is still missing.
For those ready to slow down, strip back the noise, and listen deeply for what’s next.
You don’t need experience in the outdoors.
You only need the willingness to meet yourself in truth — and the courage to answer what you find there.
THE COMMITMENT
A Vision Quest is not a casual experience — it’s a commitment to truth, simplicity, and the unknown.
Each Quest unfolds over six days:
one day of arrival and preparation,
three days and nights alone on the land,
and a day and a half of reflection and integration before return.
Yet the journey extends far beyond those six days. Each Quest is a multi-month guided experience that includes roughly ten hours of personal coaching and group sessions before and after — to prepare, set intention, and integrate what’s revealed.
Though you’ll spend three days alone, you’re always held in a safe and supported container. Our team maintains close oversight and safety protocols, ensuring you’re looked after at every step.
Pricing includes all food, lodging, group work, and coaching.
Investment: $4,000–$8,000 (tiered pricing and scholarships available).
You’re not joining an event.
You’re entering a ceremony — one that begins the moment you decide to answer the call.

THE INVITATION
If something in you feels ready, trust that.
The Quest begins long before you arrive.
It begins the moment you decide to listen.
“The most courageous thing we can do is slow down, listen deeply, and say yes to what’s true.”
