Schedule & Registration

Enrollment in a Vision Quest Program

Enrolling in a vision quest involves choosing a date or dates for participation, filling out the registration form, and placing a deposit to secure your space. Programs are kept small to guarantee personal attention and feedback (limited to a maximum of 8 participants) and are filled on a first-come, first served basis.

Registration, Costs, and Cancellations

The fee for a vision quest program is $800 if a participant registers 30 days or more in advance, and $850 thereafter. Advance registration with a non-refundable deposit of $300 is required, with the balance due 30 days prior to the start of the program. Upon receipt of your registration form and deposit, you will be sent a packet containing a book and other information on preparation, transportation, recommended readings and an equipment list. In addition, you will be expected to write a letter of intent and return a health questionnaire and liability release form.

Think seriously about whether you are ready to do this before you commit. Indecision and anxiety, especially as the quest dates approach, are a common experience, and the choice to act from our purpose and intention rather than our fears is an important and empowering decision. Should unavoidable circumstances make your participation impossible, your deposit may be applied toward a future program if you notify us at least a month prior to your scheduled starting date. You will receive a full refund for any courses canceled by Circles of Air and Stone, although this happens rarely.

If your intent to undertake a quest is sincere and you cannot currently afford the full cost of the program, payment plans and partial assistance or barter are sometimes available.

Scheduling

The experience of a vision quest is profound and often marks a pivotal point in major life transitions. We highly recommend that you declare your intention early to allow for a thorough preparation. Early enrollment facilitates scheduling since courses often fill up; it makes travel arrangements simpler and more economical, and prevents any unnecessary cancellation of programs. Vision quests and other programs may also be scheduled to meet the needs of already-existing groups. These may range from a weekend to extended stays or pilgrimages into the wilderness, and can be focused around various purposes. Often existing groups - friends, support groups, etc. - choose to undertake a quest together to deepen their relationships to Spirit and each other or accelerate a healing process. Costs and logistics will be worked out between the parties involved. Inquiries are welcome.
