Vision Quests: A Life Changing New Trend
FAIRFAX, Calif.,
According to Catriona MacGregor, author of Healing the Heart of the World (http://www.naturalpathfinder.com) who is a Vision Quest leader and life coach, going out to nature to "find oneself" benefits people from all walks of life. Quest participants report benefits like stress reduction, gaining time to focus on the meaning of their life and their life goals.
"Going out into nature and quietly communing can bring tremendous inner balance and a greater appreciation for nature and oneself," says MacGregor.
All Quests consist of pre-quest training and preparation, followed by spending at least three days and nights alone in nature under the guidance of a Quest leader.
According to
Quests into nature remedy a growing societal problem recently termed "Nature-Deficit Syndrome" by Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Louv links a disconnection from nature with rising human health and well-being problems including stress, unhappiness, lack of creativity attention deficit syndrome.
Quests are unique opportunities to live life more fully. A Quest of any kind is a heroic journey. "It is a Right of Passage that encourages you to live life more courageously and genuinely," according to
MacGregor offers pre-planned group quests and also can create individual or group quest retreats to suit. Quests are offered throughout the year, including a Spring and Fall Quest in the largest wilderness are in northern California.
