About the Solutions

Overview

Vision quest is a rites of passage usually undertooken by native americans ­ and
brought into a modern context. It is a very powerfull time for people to prepare for
transistion (or confirmation), go out into solitude & wilderness and then come back into
a community to share their gifts. Usually it is hosted by experienced guides or elders
and in its full length it consists of 4 days preperation, 4 days/nights of solo­time in
nature and 4 days of integration. But the basic flow and the methods (nature walks,
mirroring, 4 shields and council) can also be used for shorter setting. The basic idea ist
to support people to become more fully who they are at this very moment ­ and listen
to the deeper part of themself by beeing on a personal quest in nature.

The challenge

Life changes, times of transition and deep personal inquiry are fundamental parts of
our life ­ and very often not undertaken consciously or facilitated. People are often
ready for transition but lack good support or even the consciousness that rites of
passages can be done: so they are not aware of parts that they could let go, the
deeper wished that flows under the daily life and the new parts of the self that is
arrising. We are missing times for personal and professinal changes.
