Into the Wild~w/ Jody Grose & Donna Brickwood

This nature based program is centered around bringing awareness to both the inner and outer world. Our Native teachers taught us that the purpose of the vision quest was not so much for a vision, but rather to get to know your mind. For it is your mind that will mess you up. Into the wild – Quest offers men and women the opportunity to slow down enough and remove distractions in order to allow the mind to quiet bringing an awareness that opens the heart and mind, and the soul. By grounding ourselves where our truth and presence becomes our strength and power.
Be reducing the daily distractions awareness’s from inside and out can be heard. Perhaps a calling that you have denied or felt unable to muster the courage to pursue becomes clear and you embrace the voice to claim it!
This process begins with learning how to prepare our hearts, mind and bodies for this type of quest. Learning about the distinction between our wants and needs so that the desire for comfort doesn’t diminish that which you seek. We will then develop practices that support inner and outer awareness, while always being mindful of the “stories” we make up in our minds that interfere with reality. Although each person’s journey is individual, part of the outcome is in identifying and experiencing community. You will leave with a knowing of who is your community of support- this may include; specific people, animals, or spirits.
