Vision Quest
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:
As far as I am concerned, Headwaters Outdoor School is one of the top schools for wilderness education in the country. Headwaters is for everybody, and people go for a variety of reasons. Truth is, nobody is prepared for what they receive, or who they will be upon returning home. I have watched Headwaters help hundreds of suffering people, including myself. I came to headwaters as a very troubled youth. The time I spent in nature, in connection with the earth and the outstanding community there, helped guide me, lovingly, to the realization that I could change my ways, and become the best version of myself. It allowed me to reclaim the birthright to my life, and gave me a second chance. I highly recommend making a visit and finding whatever is there for you.
