DayQuest

The DayQuest is the shortest form of our quest program, offering people a forum and training in turning to nature to seek insight, healing and renewal. It’s an opportunity to step out of your daily routine and into a world of peace, beauty and magic. The stones, a deer, or perhaps the gentle murmuring of a small stream will awaken you- guiding you back to yourself and to wisdom you need in your life. Although only a day in length, many people have been profoundly affected by their DayQuest.

"My DayQuest was once again a life changing event.  Each experience and event on this quest was like a gift bundle.  I am finding myself opening these bundles one at a time, holding and exploring each one.  Each bundle is like a chapter of a book."
– Julie W., 38, artist

We offer two different kinds of DayQuests, focusing either on earth-based wisdom teachings or on communing with nature through the expressive arts. It is a journey to a place far removed from your everyday life and consciousness, yet accessible to people not able to take more time away from their daily lives. Our DayQuests occur on wild lands within one hour of San Francisco and are also a good opportunity to explore the path of ceremonial seeking in nature without the rigors and commitment of a full Wilderness Quest.

"It was incredibly healing...More powerful than I could even convey...a very special place and moment in time for me."
– Claudia H., 34, therapist

"A gift of space for my spirit to fly.... I experienced Grace!Thank You!!"
– Debra F., 62, accountant

"I didn’t really expect the depth of feeling…and what really felt like the healing and resolution of lifelong scars. What’s up with that! I don’t think I ever in my life have felt completely “whole” or like I belonged…but lying there, with my head on the mossy rock, the lap of mother earth, at the foot of the mother tree, I really and truly felt it….. The sudden realization, not just intellectualization, was that I am already whole, with all of my good as well as broken parts. Nothing needs to change; nothing is deficient or less-than or inferior in the eyes of the natural world and mother earth (the only eyes that matter, surely, as they are the eyes of the universal spirit); I am whole already; I am complete."
– Shelley F., 42, graphic designer

"I can't say enough about how valuable and insightful Dave has been in terms of showing me how the wisdom of nature informs the natural rhythms of my life-- rhythms that are so easily obscured by time table and technology I surround myself with. Before you call the therapist or make a life altering decision go out into nature with Dave and learn what you already know. I promise you the insights of one day with Dave will last a lifetime."
– Russ B., 51, entrepreneur

In addition to our regularly scheduled DayQuests (see our calendar), we also regularly plan custom DayQuest programs for groups and guide one-on-one DayQuests for people wanting more individual attention. Please contact us for more information.
