Vision Quest

The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell, don’t go back to sleep

About this program

A Vision Quest is a time to spend alone in nature with no daily-life distractions. Like the Rumi poem “the breezes at dawn have secrets to tell, don’t go back to sleep,” the Vision Quest provides us an opportunity to awaken to our inner yearnings so we can learn to fulfill our basic nature rather than be in conflict.

This is a class for someone who is driven and wants to do a quest, and who is ready to commit 100% to doing one.

We divide our quest into three segments: 2 days preparing, 3 days questing and 2 days preparing to return home. On our extraordinary 72 acres in the Mt. Shasta area, the land bountiful with 3 creeks, pine, cedar, and fir forests and open meadows provides the tranquility essential for slowing the mind and body. This is a brief moment in time where you learn about external and internal nature. The Greek word for nature means birth and these 7 days will give birth to your essential self through questing, sweat lodge, journaling and eating organic rich foods. The quests will be led by Tim Corcoran and Steph Bogdanova.

Private vision quests offered. Call (530) 938-1304 with inquiries.

What people are saying:

My first class at Headwaters was the Boys Rites of Passage, where I found that I had the potential to be a much better version of myself than I had been. Through Headwaters and Tim's classes, I started to find that I had real potential, in a gorgeous and nurturing environment where I was trusted with responsibilities and learned what it meant to be a care taker of nature. I think what really drove home the lessons of Headwaters to me was that after the Boys Rites of Passage I was invited to stay for the whole summer for the apprentice program, where I got to take part in every class that summer.
