Spirit Quests

2012 Spirit Quests on Sacred Earth Foundation lands
Spring Quests: May 23-27
Late Summer Quests August 29- September 3

This beautiful setting (near Goldendale WA) offers deep solitude, forest and meadow beauty on land held in trust by the Sacred Earth Foundation. This is the site of our Sacred Earth Retreat.

Intentions for 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.
  • “Questing,” is an opportunity to open yourself more fully to the magic, beauty and spiritual quality of the natural world.  Bring yourself to this retreat for healing and renewal. We will co-create a sacred space together, supporting each other’s intentions to deepen personal spiritual connections, nurtured and inspired by Mother Earth. Spirit Quests are done in a personally chosen sacred spot where you can focus on significant prayers and intentions.

    Our base camp for this Retreat is Ekone Ranch, located on 1300 acres owned by the Sacred Earth Foundation. Overnight quests happen in the back-country. T

    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.
