Vision Quest 2024

Dear you, who feels drawn to Vision Quest …

We are entering the space of an ancient and timeless practice … meeting yourself undistractedly in, as and with nature … coming home … to yourself … to Earth … and maybe … to your place of belonging … recognizing, finding, being found by … experiencing what you’re there to experience … at this time of your life.

::

Questions can be:
What wants to be lived through me?
What needs to be lived through me, be embodied by me?
In this lifetime, during these times?
Is there a longing, an urgency?
A crisis a question?
Or maybe an inspired curiosity?
Or is something just “not quite right” in your life?
Or is there a call - to go on your Vision Quest without you consciously knowing what this call is all about?

These - and any other question that leads you here are valid. There is only your way of entering this - your intimate conversation with yourself, life, Earth and your place in the world.

::

What is the larger conversation that is going on between you, your life, all life and Earth? Who are you underneath? Underneath the layers put on through all sorts of influences? Do you know that you already belong? Do you know you make this world whole? And that first of all it is not about what you do … but that you are what you are … that you are who you are … as you are …

You are welcome and invited: to enter your circle.
You are welcome and invited: to enter your very unique conversation with yourself and life.

:::


What ever draws you to your quest site which is burial ground and birthing site at the same time … you can trust that call.

More practical details see below.

How does this Vision Quest look practically?

The heart of the experience is a four day and four night solo time. Within a 3 meter circle out in nature, in the forest. It’s an experience of fasting of almost all things familiar, including food, reading, writing. You’ll have a sleeping bag, a pad and a tarp, no tent. For two days, we will be together as a group to prepare you for your solo time and we will stay for another 2 days after your Vision Quest to support the first very precious hours and days of integration.

More support for your preparation

The journey has already begun, once you heard the call to Quest. Sometimes it takes years till the actual Vision Quest and sometimes the window closes again and life takes you in a different direction. Let’s say you’ve heard the call (in whatever form) and you would like to find out wether this is for you and wether our Team is the right Team for you.

The Team

Corinna Thiesen *1978 born in Lübeck, Germany

Wilderness Awareness Mentor (8 Shields). Working Occupational Therapist. Installation Artist. A Northern European Shaman. 

”I am grateful to welcome you on the lands and grounds in Brandenburg, near Gransee, 1,5 hours north of Berlin. I feel honored to stoke the fire and to hold the space for you while you do your „walkabout“. Alongside Susanne I will guide you along your journey and through the sweat logde ceremony.

I myself have done several vision quests, from 24 hours to 4 days and 4 nights. Some I did intentionally, some „came to me“. I know about different lineages and yet I was told to follow the lineage I am part of, naturally. So I will offer you the essence of what I have learned by human and most of all by nature. My inner fire burns for natural rhythms and circles, for the assisting the blooming of our individual gift for the world.

Together with others at `Wolf and Waldkauz` I offer nature-bonding wilderness awareness courses. I create initiations and ceremonies in life-changing situations. 
The land with its spirits welcomes you and is honores to hold your quest."

Mother of 2 boys, farmworker on an organic tumeric farm, co-founder of GreenWing Earthcrafts, partner in Soulrite Vision quests Australia

My journey took me to Australia about 20 years ago, and for a long time I had no idea why. Until I sat my first vision quest in 2017 in the Stalking Wolf lineage. My journey really started there, where I started to hear my soul for the first time in a conscious way and where I started to understand her language and how she communicates with me, and where I started to understand what my actual purpose is…..

I feel honoured to bring the gift of the vision quest in the Stalking Wolf lineage , with Susanne , Corinna and Jasmine to my country of origin, my home. I feel honoured to hold the space for people in my homeland, that was held for me here in Australia by other people. A space where I could touch my soul, where I remembered ….who I really am...at my core...and what my purpose and the purpose of humans here on this beautiful Earth actually is.

Vision quest for me is an unbelievable gift and opportunity, an ancient ceremony, where we can get in contact with the realm that is not visible in our mind focused society. Where we can remember our own power that was given to us at birth, that power that knows what is right for us. It’s our own compass that we remember, that guides us through our lives in a meaningful way, if we have learnt the language in which it speaks to us. And for me vision quest taught me how to listen…

I’m looking forward to this journey with you!
