Retreats and pilgrimages are becoming increasingly popular in today's modern, technological world. The Native Americans, though, have always known the value of withdrawing from everyday routine - and used a special ritual called the Vision Quest to do this. They fasted for four days and nights, alone, in a wilderness area - and used the visions and insights they received to understand themselves better and to reorient their lives. In this fascinating and helpful book, Denise Linn, international lecturer and healer, shows how we too can use this ritual for our own benefit, how to prepare for a Quest, what to do while on it, how to 'call for a vision' and how to integrate the experience into our daily lives.
