Held at stunningly beautiful wilderness sites in California and Utah, our Wilderness Quest is a life-changing journey. This trip is a chance to slow down and let nature work her magic upon you. It is a deep voyage into the mysteries of Life and the unfolding of one’s soul. It is a journey made through solitude in the wilderness, ceremony, fasting and communion with a small group of fellow questers and guides. Other parts of the journey include: poetry and storytelling; creative expression and movement; earth-based wisdom teachings; and wilderness survival and minimum impact camping skills. Each participant comes with his or her own intentions and hopes for the quest. Some come to mark a point of life transition. Others to find their way back to what holds joy, meaning and aliveness for them. For many people the trip is a time to open to what they are deeply yearning for in their life, a surrender to that more essential part of oneself that can only be touched or awakened by contact with what is larger, wilder and deeper than us. (Review comments and creative expressions of past questers on our Accolades and Expressions pages.) “A reverence for life is a reverence for wildness –a reverence for life beyond your control.” In this contemporary version of an ancient ceremony, each quester must step into the unknown, into the great wilderness, to make their own terms with life, with past decisions and with the vast unpredictability of the future. Letting the outer wilderness be a mirror for the mysteries of being human in this modern age, each quester receives their own teachings for how to live with the particular challenges, gifts and situations that destiny has handed them. Inevitably, when we walk into the wilderness with our hearts open, Nature responds to our needs and longing with her own mysterious, generous gifts that can then guide us on our way in the days and months ahead. "I can say in no uncertain terms that this experience has changed my life in profound and lasting ways." "Wilderness Reflections operates in partnership with the Inyo National Forest, and Sequoia-Kings Canyon and Death Valley National Parks to provide equal opportunity recreational services." |
