Spirit Quests

2012 Spirit Quests
Spring Quests: May 25-27 (travel on May 24 and May 28)
Late Summer Quests August 30- September 2 (travel on Aug 29 and Sept 3)


This beautiful setting (near Goldendale WA) offers deep solitude, forest and meadow beauty on land held in trust by the Sacred Earth Foundation. “Questing,” is an opportunity to open yourself more fully to the magic, beauty and spiritual quality of the natural world. Quests are done in a personally chosen solo-camp in the back-country, where one sets up a “sacred space” and then spends 2-4 days alone, focusing on significant prayers and intentions. Before and after questing, we gather as a group for ceremony, to speak intentions, support each other, debrief, and feel our personal spiritual connections, nurtured and inspired by Mother Earth.

Intentions for Spirit Quests

  • To Cultivate a sense of spiritual connection with Mother Earth, a feeling of being “at home” outdoors
  • To Learn ways to quiet your mind and awaken your senses more fully
  • To Focus on prayers, intentions, and affirmations for your life
  • To Experience the profound quality of silence and solitude in nature.
  • To Open to messages and guidance from inner wisdom, spirit-guides, ancestors, and from the plants, animals, stones and all beings of this sacred earth.

    • Cost
    As usual, our fees are negotiable. If your heart is prompting you to join us for this experience, we will do our best to make it financially accessible for you.  Our suggested donation is $250. This includes Therese and Tere’s coaching and guidance regarding equipment and supplies, a meal to send you off on your Quest, cornbread and water during the Quest, and a meal when you return from your Quest.

    More about “Spirit Quest”

    In traditional Native American culture, Vision Quest includes setting up a sacred circle in the wilderness and spending a number of days in solitude and prayer in that sacred circle, fasting from food and water, opening to guidance from spirit, with only a blanket for protection. People in a ‘base camp’ prayerfully anchor the person and hold a supportive energetic container. The Spirit Quests that Therese offers are designed for those who would like a nurturing quest experience. Fasting is optional. People bring tent and sleeping bag, can have ample water and as much nibble-food as each person chooses to bring.
