Co-leaders: Mike Bodkin & Robert Boyle. See our Staff page.

Are you feeling a call to quest? To discover your wild soul? To be initiated as a man? If so, join us in a deep, challenging and transformative rite of passage over 10 days, including 4 days of solo time in nature. This ten-day program will begin at noon on Friday, April 6, 2012 and will end by noon on Sunday, April 15. The program will take place on sacred land in the Bellingen, NSW area, about 3 hours from Sydney. We'll spend the first 3 days in preparatory work.  Using Council to hold the group in a loving and conscious way, we'll introduce eco-spiritual tools such as the Medicine Wheel, present information about the environment and safety issues, and help the men to clarify and claim their purpose before the four-day solo begins. During the 3 days of incorporation time following the solo, we'll work with each man to distill the symbols and teachings from his individual story, in preparation for the return to the Vision Quest of Life.

We have been guiding men on initiatory journeys since 1988.  Here is what men have been saying about the Men's Vision Quest:

The Vision Quest experience has allowed me to access a deeper understanding of myself and how I am able to contribute to my own growth as a person and to the growth of those close to me. The time spent in the bush allowed me to connect with the earth and through that connection take me to a higher level of consciousness. The experience will have a lasting imprint on my being. Thank you to Mike and Rob for their insight and wisdom.

I was feeling a bit lost in my life. Even with all the activity such as work, family, friends and community interests. Something just wasn't quite right. After the quest, I feel settled within myself, my self-confidence has been restored and my love of life has been reaffirmed in a way that really means something to me. I highly recommend the experience to anyone who feels the call.

This was an outstanding experience that provided a much-needed crucible for some essential work--for me personally, and for this amazing circle of beautiful men.  I wholeheartedly recommend this Vision Quest experience to others, and want in fact to help in sharing the work.

One of the most profound, inspirational, and positively life-altering events ever! Mike and Munro are inspirational to others and will always remain an integral part of my life's journey with the work they have done.
