This 4-day/night solo wilderness ceremony has roots in ancient tradition and meets one’s longing for deep connection with Self and the Natural World. Many find purpose, direction, healing, growth, self-understanding, depth of connection, resolution, peace and more. We offer you a vehicle through which you can bring yourself forth into greater belonging in the web of life.
Book a 6 or 12 session individual Mentoring program to deepen your pre-quest preparation and post-quest integration. Mentorships can greatly assist Questers both phases, even well before or after a quest.

A Vision Quest is an ancient, nature-based, fasting, solo ceremony, that provides us with the opportunity to be still… Still enough to hear the voice that is calling us onto our most visionary path. We walk into the arms of Mother Nature and into our sacred quest circle for four days and nights, prepared to fast all that is familiar, and leave everything behind, perhaps including how we have come to be. The quest supports a process of dying to the old story or way and birthing the new.
“I received the best gift imaginable when I went to an unknown place and spent 4 days with mother nature on a mountain side. It has changed my life completely and continues to have a beneficial effect everyday. I have found my purpose – after a lifetime of searching – and it is incredible to finally feel like I am meant to be here and do something useful to aid the planet and it’s inhabitants.”
“The great malady of the twentieth century, implicated in all our troubles and affecting us individually and socially, is ‘loss of soul.’ When soul is neglected, it doesn’t just go away; it appears symptomatically in obsessions, addictions, violence and loss of meaning. Our temptation is to isolate these symptoms or to try to eradicate them one by one; but the root problem is that we have lost our wisdom about the soul, even our interest in it.”
Thomas Moore, “Care of the Soul” preface
Walking this earth with your vision is your birth right. People come to quest to seek vision, to heal, to grow and more. The person who walks into quest and the person who walks out of quest are not the same…here are some of the reasons people feel the call to quest…
Generally offered by us twice/year, The Vision Quest is for those seeking profound depths of healing and awakening, wholeness, discovery of personal truth and identity, sovereignty, and empowerment at a soul level. This is a nature-based “ordeal” experience that helps the small self to die away unto the emergence of one’s authentic being, that is encoded with your original Knowing and heart’s Vision.
For the better part of two decades, SoulScapes Foundation’s transpersonal services have helped hundreds of people to meet their longing to access deeper levels of vision, purpose, wholeness embodiment, psycho-spiritual development, quality of life, and intimacy with the intelligences of soul and the natural world.
We provide deep listening to, curiosity for, and honouring of your evolutionary life journey. With relevance to the times we are in on the planet, we believe that you knowing who you really are, and what you are here to do, is a necessary contribution to our world.
First and foremost, there is that light, that key, that piece of myself that I did not know was missing, until I found it out there in nature, alone. I feel whole in a way I did not know was possible. There is a knowing that I am Gaia’s child. There is a recognising from deep within, I am connected to this earth and all her creatures, that I am a part of this all and that I deserve to be here, no more or no less as the tree or the butterfly. I deserve to be here! This is my healing…. I believe that our connection to earth and her creatures is our birthright….Alive in me is a deep soul connection to earth, that never can be undone; but alive in me is also great sadness, for what we have done to ourselves as humans and our connection to the great mother. So, while I am writing these words, there are tears streaming down my face….The part that became alive during the Quest insists, that I should not run away but bring healing and change…” And a year later…“..quest has been one of the most powerful experience for me and my internal world is completely changed…it truely is like I made a promise that would kill me to break …”
“If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
