Quest and Lineage

The Vision Quest – solitary introspection in nature – has been used for countless generations as a tool to “know thyself”. This self includes all levels of our experience, from the physical surface of life to the deepest core of Pure Consciousness, our True Source. The Quest is a profound tool for healing our darkness and distortions (judgements, beliefs, traumas, wounds) and awakening us to our True Spiritual Heart – the Divinity that we already are!

Vision Questing is perhaps best known today from the Peoples of American Indigenous Nations but questing is a universal human expression and examples can be found among religions, mystical traditions, and indigenous cultures worldwide. The Vision Quest reveals the Truth of Who we are and the path of service to humanity and Creation.

The Vision Quest we teach comes from Grandfather Stalking Wolf (Lipan) as passed down to Tom Brown, Jr., then to Malcolm Ringwalt and Karl “Bear” Povisils, and onto us. Grandfather’s Vision, in part, was to find the common spiritual truths among the world’s religions and cultures. As such, this Quest is not necessarily Lipan but, rather, a distillation of the core experience that is the Essence of a Vision Quest.

All facilitators have undertaken multiple quests and each brings a unique perspective to the experience; Questors are likely to find a supportive sounding board for questions and concerns.
