Full 4-day Vision Fast - contact us for more details
Wilderness rites of passage enable us to mark significant events and transitions in our lives and gain inspiration, insight and clarity for ourselves and our communities.
Stepping 'out of time' to be alone in the wild deepens our connection with the natural world, expanding and enriching our sense of self. Nature is the guide and the teacher, guiding us into conscious connection with the wisdom and healing energies of the land in the knowledge that human well-being is inseparable from the well-being of the Earth
A vision fast is a period of between 24 hours and 4 days and nights in a wild place in nature, usually without food, company and shelter. To prepare, we take time to reflect on our life as it has been, before setting a clear intention for the fast. Then we sever from our old life and community and step into the liminal space, the ceremony of the fast. On returning, there is a phase of incorporation with an opportunity to tell our story and have it mirrored before we return home to integrate the medicine of the fast into our life and community.
