To die in order to truly live: 4 days & 4 nights in nature

Seminar content

The vision quest begins with an end and ends with a beginning – the death of the old identity, the rebirth into a new phase of life…
Who am I? What do I want? What do I stand for? What gives my life meaning?

People have always been occupied with the big questions of life. And whenever we come to an end in our lives, these questions resurface. Because a fundamental wisdom knows about a new beginning that lies dormant within us and is longing for an appropriate ritual, in which the past is honored to open up for the new.

Times of inner transformation
The times of transformation are life's gift to us, to grow ever deeper into the person we are from the divine. However, in the reality of life, such times initially appear to us as irritations, and we no longer recognize ourselves in the world we have constructed. Yet life wants to carry us forward, to break through the too-small frame, even if it feels on the outside as if not a stone remains on another – our inner evolution knows the plan.

Seek within you, and you shall find everything, and rejoice when out there, as you may always call it, lies a nature that says yes and amen to everything you have found within yourself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

When we look into nature, it shows us beautiful images of transformation: The caterpillar that pupates and turns into a butterfly. The snake that sheds its skin. The inconspicuous seedling that contains the potential of the giant tree within it. The bud that becomes a blossom.

We cannot make transformation – it happens.
Therefore, images in nature with which we resonate can best reflect our inner transformation and show us helpful forms of change.
