Unlock your full potential using the healing power of nature. 

 

The Golden Shadow Vision Quest is a calling from the Creator. This calling comes from the deepest parts of your unconscious that long to be discovered. Removing yourself from all distractions, being immersed in nature, releases the layers of cultural and social conditioning, and brings you closer to your hidden truths. During the Quest, the heart expands, and the realms of purity open so that the Quester and is able to listen for guidance, inspiration, and self-reflection that is so crucial to the spiritual journey. 

 

The Golden Shadow Vision Quest can be 1-3 days. In the traditional 4-day Vision Quest, designed by Grandfather Stalking Wolf, there is plenty of time to dive into the mind, body, and heart to explore the vast mysteries of life. Questers return to their roots, become one with wild nature, and open to the realms of spiritual guidance and the Creator. 

 

Melanie Ryan was trained as a Vision Quest Protector by Malcolm Ringwalt of the Tracker School, founded by Tom Brown Jr. and Grandfather Stalking Wolf of the Lipan Apache lineage. Grandfather Stalking Wolf felt that the Vision Quest was the most important practice you could do and said it should be done many times throughout life. Each Quest reveals its own seeds that will blossom, helping you gain the clarity you need to reach your truth and potential.
