Finding Himself

This will be a Quest for men like you, men who are no longer so sure of themselves. The ‘normal madness’ of today’s crises and wars gnaws at your self-image and obscures your view of the essentials.Ambiguities in your life can cause energies to falter. Experiencing heaviness, hardship and gloom often indicates that you are stuck somehow, somewhere. Life, your life, demands clarification, a definite decision.

‘Lost and Found’: could also be the writing above the gate through which your path leads you back into a new power of decision, guiding your step… a search that finally finds its goal!
Decisions can be like swords that cut through the thickest knot. Like a mighty hammer that brings down every dam and makes the water flow again.
Sustainable decisions are not made solely from the head, the heart or just from the gut. What makes you tick comes from many sources and each one wants to share its wisdom with you. Taking time, now, to listen and bring clarity to your thoughts and feelings, could be a good idea!
In order to be able to listen to life ever so deeply, people have been seeking out the solitude of wild natural spaces for countless generations. Such secluded places of power are particularly suitable for finding clarity in certain questions of life and renewing the connection with the greater whole. Our place opposite the mighty figure of ‘La Rosa’, the shining mountain, offers a perfect setting for such a beginning: clear and simple, down to earth!
Since time immemorial, seekers have been accompanied by people who have walked this path before them. They help them to clarify their intentions, maintain the connection during their days in the wilderness of the mountain forests and bear witness to their story on their return in a ceremony of listening and mirroring.
VisionQuest: as you will shape this adventure for yourself, may it contribute to your own unique story, your personal ‘DISCOVERY of the MAN you ARE’!
Shanti Petschel and his co-leader invite you to celebrate this powerful ritual together with us and other men and to enrich it with your being.
We will create a space in which we support each other, challenge each other and show what it can mean to be a man in this world at this time. Whether as a son, brother, lover, husband, father, uncle, grandfather, friend…The word “man” consists of many facets and not all of them are polished or without scratches. Such unsightly areas in our manhood often have a direct connection to those life issues in which things are not running smoothly. Dealing with these issues in a supportive, safe circle of men can be a very healing and strengthening experience for all involved.

INTERNATIONAL
Mid- Summer VisionQuest for Women & Men

Is it time to serve your purpose on earth with clarity and love?
VisionQuest is an ancient, powerful initiation ritual for life transitions. You immerse yourself in a deep connection with the community, with nature and with yourself. Wild nature is a mirror of your soul. Experiencing yourself in it can give you new clarity about your path in life. Are you facing changes, are you in transition, do you want to invite new qualities into your life? Or do you want to reconcile with the old to make room for what wants to emerge anew? In dealing with the essentials, your task on earth can become clearer and clearer and you will experience how joyful it is to walk this path for yourself and for the world. That is Vision Quest.
We all want to go our own way AND belong to a community and be loved at the same time. These basic needs are nourished on this shared journey in an authentic and joyful way. The deep personal & shared experience encourages us all to carry this quality of connectedness out into the world, into our families, our work, our love relationships, into politics, into our communities. During the Quest you will spend four days and nights fasting and alone in the magical and wild Alpine landscape.
You prepare yourself intensively and lovingly for four days to this inner and outer journey in a circle of people who are doing the same. This is an experience that resonates deeply with your being. In the aftermath, we honor and celebrate this great and lasting experience and together we create a formative connection to your future life.
The VisionQuest supports us on our path towards a bubbling joy of life, clarity and love for life! That is why we are always happy to share our experience in this VisionSearch. Is your heart beating faster now? Do you have questions, fears or would you like to experience our enthusiasm even more personally? Then write to us or give us a call. We look forward to meeting you – no matter where you are in life.
You are WELCOME!

…Is a systemic shamanic family constellation & Integrative Aquatic Therapy (IAT), a deep self-healing process on the Wheel of Life.
…It is meaningfully complemented and refined by Integrative Aquatic Therapy IAT, a bodywork in warm water. Developed and taught for over 20 years by David Sawyer (USA), this therapy for pre-, peri- and post-natal trauma and shock releases chronic, hidden tension, coldness and flaccidity in all tissue and organ systems, right down to the cellular level.
