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:

Headwaters is a community in which service, integrity, and the value of hard work are taught by example in the everyday life of the camp. Headwaters is first and foremost a school of outdoor survival and primitive skills, but it is also a school of life. Over the years that Headwaters has been a part of my life, I have learned as much about how to live a fulfilling life that contributes to my community as I have about living off the land.I am profoundly grateful to Headwaters for helping me to become the person I am today.
