“A Vision Quest is an experience of deeper understanding of Nature and Spirit”

About Vision Quest Ireland - What is a Vision Quest?

A Vision Quest is an ancient shamanic tradition, most commonly associated with Native American cultures, although now practised all around the world. It is where people spend time in nature alone to seek answers from spirit, to heal, to find themselves and to recognise and embody their gifts for the benefit of community.

Sometimes vision quest ceremonies are called ‘rites of passage’, where they are used to help individuals prepare from moving from childhood to adulthood or through some other form of transition. In the modern world vision quests are invaluable to helping people in times of change. This can be people seeking answers in a crisis, or those seeking a deeper spiritual understanding or those in need of healing.

Vision quests take place in nature, when you are alone so spirit can show you what you need to see within yourself in order for you to heal or find the answers you are looking for.

"I would recommend Vision Quest Ireland to anyone who is drawn towards questing. Paul and Bernard held the space for us all night and did a great job facilitating one of the most profound experiences of my journey so far. Thanks guys!"

Three phases in a Vision Quest

1.	Severance / Departure: where we separate from our everyday lives and stalk awareness for our questing place
2.	Transition: where you spend time in nature alone fasting and being with the infinity of existence in the enchanted woods of Oranmore
3.	Re-incorporation: where you return bearing gifts of unknown things which helps to reveal your Sacred Dream and access the energy and determination to live it. This phase involves sharing our experiences in circle.

Benefits of Vision Quest

"The vision quest gave me the time I needed and deserved to connect with nature and myself at a deeper level. I truly wish to thank Paul and Bernard for holding space so beautifully, I felt completely safe and protected. Much love to ye both. And I send all my blessings with the vision quests."
