Much of the time will be taken up with preparation and integration. The true work of the Vision Quest awaits us when we return to our people.<\/p><p>Participation on a Vision Quest starts long before one walks into the wilderness of nature. The seeds of participation may have been planted long ago, in childhood, and your arrival may seem part of a process unfolding steadily and naturally. Or the decision may be sudden, a crisis of transition causing something long-hidden to burst forth with compelling force, a force one cannot deny or refuse. Or it may just seem \u2018the right time&#8217;, an affirmative way to answer a question, mark a change or renew the spirit. Whatever path brings you to this Vision Quest, whether you feel called or driven, participation brings one to a process that is solitary, unique and universal. Alone, in nature, we stand before our mother the earth; we stand before our gods and goddesses; we stand before ourselves.<\/p><p>We will do all we can to help you on your way, but the quest is yours and what comes will be uniquely your own. Often it takes many years to understand what happened, and what teachings have been shown to us.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3a30192\" data-id=\"3a30192\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-996fba4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"996fba4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58\" src=\"https:\/\/hartwell.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1394029058.png\" alt=\"1394029058\" width=\"289\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hartwell.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1394029058.png 289w, https:\/\/hartwell.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1394029058-200x300.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><\/span><\/strong><\/p><h3><strong>8 &#8211; 18 May 2026<\/strong><\/h3><h3><strong>&amp;<\/strong><\/h3><h3><strong>13 &#8211; 23 June 2026<\/strong><\/h3><p>We quest in Penwith in Cornwall, an area rich in ancient sacred sites, moorland, granite, within sight of the ocean \u00a0This is Annie&#8217;s homeland.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f1f08ce\" data-id=\"f1f08ce\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c326fbb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3c326fbb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>deepen, open to the natural world, to Spirit and to that inner wiser part of yourself that is generally lost under the rush of everyday life. For some people these Vision Quests have been full of revelation and intensity and change; for others, they have been a time of rest, a time to recharge, recover and luxuriate in the experience of being held by the earth herself.<\/p><p>During our time away we spend two days in preparation, giving teachings both spiritual and practical, getting to know the land, finding your place of power, letting go of your everyday world. You go out on the land alone, preferably fasting but with plenty to drink and a tent for shelter. The days of reintegration are important: each story is witnessed and teaching is given to help illuminate the visions, dreams and signs that have come.<\/p><p>This is a powerful ceremony so we encourage people to make up their minds for it as soon as possible so that they have a good preparation time before they arrive at the site.<\/p><p>I aim to send out about four to five people.<\/p><p><strong>As this is very much a personal ceremony, I suggest that if you&#8217;re interested, you\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hartwell.me\/index.php\/contact\/\">contact us<\/a>\u00a0to talk around it.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vision Quests 2026 There will be 2 quests in Cornwall:8 &#8211; 18 May &amp; 13 &#8211; 23 June 2026 Since time immemorial people have gone to the wilderness to seek guidance and renewal, to let their old selves and old lives die and to find the conditions where spirit may be rekindled and reborn within [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-53","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hartwell.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hartwell.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hartwell.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hartwell.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hartwell.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/hartwell.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77851,"href":"https:\/\/hartwell.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53\/revisions\/77851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hartwell.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
