InnerFire

Commit to a sacred adventure, sacrificing what is familiar in order to step into the mysterious realm where wildness meets, reflects and communicates with your essential self.

You will know when it's time to go out into the wilderness to meet your Self in the sanctity of the wild. To listen to the silence, to embrace the inner voices, and to receive nature's reflection. Come and celebrate the gift of life. Renew and refresh in a land of pristine wilderness, supported by a community of fellow questers.

This journey is for those who are marking a transition, or who wish to spend time in nature receiving her reflection and guidance. We include ceremony, creative processes, sharing life stories, fire circles, and a time of solitude. Participants stay in private spaces during the preparation and integration time. You will structure your alone time to fit your individual physical [including dietary], emotional and spiritual considerations.

We offer the space for you to travel with others, a space that will become an intimate circle to support your intent and to hold the significance of what you will experience. The Quest begins when you make the commitment to participate. This is often 3-6 months before the actual journey. Commitment transforms a promise into reality. It is the power to change the face of things. That's why writing a Letter of Intent is an important step in this journey.

Forces will have been set in motion beyond the reckoning of the senses. Sequences of events from the corners of the world will draw gradually together, and miracles of coincidence will bring the inevitable to pass. [Joseph Campbell]

We will discuss the details regarding preparation: safety concerns and procedures; equipment you will take with you; local flora, fauna and weather patterns; practices and ceremonies that may contribute to your experience; and participate in Councils - open heartfelt expression and attentive listening.

As with any story, there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. The SEVERANCE stage is about creating sacred space together. We will participate in a fire ceremony of purification, a time to honour the past and open to the journey of the quest.

Through a series of creative processes and councils, personal stories are shared, and intentions are honed for entering into the time of solitude which follows. You will structure your alone time to fit your individual physical [including dietary], emotional and spiritual considerations.

Then you will go to your chosen wilderness site - the THRESHOLD period. Those of us who serve as guides on this quest will be at base camp supporting you with our energy and prayers. You will return at dawn, and join once again with your fellow questers to begin the final phase of this journey.

INCORPORATION is a time of ceremony, celebration and even more reflection where there will be a circle to speak of your alone time and to honour one another's stories. This last stage is designed to help integrate your experience and prepare you for your return to your everyday life, perhaps the greatest challenge of all!

We offer vision quests of varying lengths - from 5-day to 11-day, including 24hours or 3 nights alone in the wilderness.

All participants are required to complete a detailed questionnaire and be interviewed in preparation for a journey.
