Vision Quest 2023 Catskill Mountains

Vision Quest- A Rite of Passage in Nature

The purpose of a Vision Quest is to pull away from the world and relax enough to self-reflect and see the real wonderful you and have time and space to explore to know you more and connect to nature, the land, and spiritual guides and teachers. You also connect with your soul-higher self to call for a vision for the rest of your life and hear your true self speak.

Are you moving through a significant change this year? Are you preparing for a new phase of your life or work? Come for a powerful weekend of ceremonies, journeys, transformation, and rebirth with Shaman Janet StraightArrow.

A person goes on a Vision Quest when ready to rebirth their life in a new way.?This rite of passage is a carefully developed retreat offering guidance and support to help you move through transition and new beginnings.???

Pause and get off the track of your life to go inside to discover new levels of your authentic voice, needs, and choices, accessing your inner wisdom as a gift you give yourself.?Feel clarity, life purpose, and joy as we break through illusions, fears, and ego. This is a gentle yet powerful life-changing weekend.

On May 1, we begin the journey with weekly emails to support your internal process as preparation. In addition, Janet is available for check-ins and private sessions to prepare for the weekend, helping you integrate the process before or after the weekend.

The physical retreat is held three days, Friday through Sunday, July 21-23, at our private retreat space at a farm in Accord, NY.?

Janet StraightArrow has led quests and Shamanic spiritual retreats for over twenty-two years in the northeast and mid-Atlantic?states.

After holding several primitive eight-day Vision Quest camping retreats on sacred land, Janet found that people needed a shorter experience and the opportunity for more comfort.?

She found a perfect location to offer camping and indoor sleeping space, keeping the quest's nature. We have used this space for six years with great appreciation and success.

Janet developed a way for the experience to be complete and powerful for everyone beginning with regular emails to help you prepare spiritually and personally. Please look at the testimonials below to understand others' experiences with Janet.?

The Vision Quest brings out my gifts and abilities and serves my life purpose to be a guide on your journey. People come from many traditions and walks of life and join a circle of Universal love and healing. Having fun is a bonus. Feeling safe is essential.?

You can explore Janet on her?website ?and ask me any questions in a discovery call. 973-647-2500?Email me.

This year we are limited to eight participants to allow more personal support.

I feel so blessed to have a safe container for the group on a private Farm in the lower Catskills in Accord, NY, near New Paltz and Woodstock, New York, north of Ellenville, just off Rt 209 and easy access to the New York Thruway.

This is well located for people in the Northeast and New England. We have beautiful,?safe woods to camp in with a flush toilet and hot outdoor shower. Close to the home base cabin. There are indoor beds with private spaces spread over two floors in a 2000 sq ft retreat house,e showers, and full baths for those who prefer their evenings inside.

We have a modern kitchen to prepare food with dining tables inside and outside to enjoy community meals. In addition, wee has a balance of private and community ceremonies and preparations throughout the weekend. In our quest space, we are close enough and far enough away from one another to have our own experiences.

The cost to participants is $ 800.00 as soon as possible. To ensure your space by May 1. Payment plans are available. Let's have an exploratory call to see if this is the correct place for you. Janet 973-647-2500?Email me.
