Ecotherapy Vision Quest

A vision quest is an ongoing search for the meaning and purpose of life. Ultimately it answers the questions... Who am I? What am I supposed to be doing here? What is my life purpose? Am I making a contribution or just getting in the way of what I'm called to do? This is a personal question, but also an existential question.

Ecotherapy Vision Quests offer participants an opportunity to push the boundaries of what they think they can do, and from within a Western context that is somewhat familiar. This event will include opportunities to participate in a 36 hour fast, combined with ritual ceremonies involving nature and the elements. The purpose is to contact the inner voice of awakening and spirituality and listen to its wisdom for your life.

This weekend will kick off with ceremonies on the Buddhist archetype of Green Tara. She is a powerful feminine energy that helps any being connect more with nature and encourages a fearlessness in life. A ceremonial wongkur celebration will kick off the weekend, involving chanting, visualizing, and 7 chakra stimulations. Previous experience with Buddhist archetypes in not required.

Elements of Ecotherapy involving nature and mindfulness will permeate the weekend. Much of the weekend will be in silence, although there will also be numerous group activities and sharing times. This is a great opportunity to travel deep into consciousness, but free of chemicals and substances.

Participants will be expected to bring their own camping gear, and a gear list will be provided to all registrants. Camping out under the stars in the Frontenac Provincial Park is a key component of the weekend. Permits will be taken care of for all participants. Meeting place will be 35 Kingsford Lake Dam Road, Westport.
