A MODERN DAY MEN’S PLANT MEDICINE VISION QUEST

“This is a truly, actually transformative experience. If you feel stuck, empty, or in need of a reset, this is a rare and incredible opportunity to touch what’s timeless, see with fresh eyes, and experience ancient wisdom; all under the expert, caring and intuitive guidance. A rare and beautiful opportunity to experience the true essence of a vision quest, and the self-knowledge that only such a quest can bestow. The lessons learned, and earned, on this journey will live with you forever; and the friendship, support and guidance to understand and integrate those lessons is invaluable. It’s a journey into the heart, and a chance for a new beginning. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a deeper connection with life, love and spirit.”

- John A.

MEDICINE QUEST

All too often we move through the day-to-day routines and responsibilities of life, trudging along in the trenches of simply getting things done, forgetting what inspires us, and often disconnecting from a sense of purpose or our enthusiasm to be alive.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

We don't have to submit to feeling numb or moving through life with so much tension, anxiety, and emptiness. There are options and one of those options is to seek help from plant medicine, from nature’s wisdom that guides us in reconnecting with our truth, discovering our purpose, and reestablishing a sense of meaning in our world.

Plant medicines have been supporting us human beings for centuries. They have been our true allies that have helped us reset, remember and reconnect to ourselves, the world around us, and timeless presence. In this light, it is our intention to provide a secure and nurturing environment alongside the peyote cactus, Lophophora williamsii, for you to experience the power and insights offered through this ancient and medicinal plant in hopes of discovering for you a ‘path of return’ filled with authenticity, renewed enthusiasm and purpose.

Important Note

This journey is intended for those who seek to go deeper within themselves for personal growth, awakening inner truth, honing life purpose, and personal betterment for themselves, their families, their communities and the greater world at large.

IT IS NOT A PARTY.

This is a very unique and special Rites Of Passage experience offering a golden opportunity to come together; to listen and learn and in turn, inspire your best self to come forward, and show up to wholly and fully be seen for who you truly are.

Upon signing up, a full list of necessary preparation will be provided along with a catalog of FAQ's of what you can expect.

WHERE

Our journey will take place on private and protected land in the countryside of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Your Guides

  • A native to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, for over 3 decades now I have been a frequent visitor of the medicine lands of Wirikuta, and have been part of various expeditions exploring the desert and learning from the very rich plant medicine culture that people from all over the world come to discover and be a part of. Working with this sacred plant, always with reverence and awe, it has been a constant source of growth and empowerment through every stage of my life, and its gifs and lessons have been a privilege I wish to share with others.

  • For me, this path has always been about the planet and my deep love for her. I believe that when we heal our wounded hearts and souls and return to the center of our truth, we become better men and able to stand in the honorable place of stewards for this Earth and all her creations. That is why I walk this journey with you, and that is what I hope to bring to the table. More than 30 years ago I was introduced to this medicine, and today my role is simply to help prepare your body, heart, mind, and spirit for your own direct and personal encounter with the sacred, however you name or experience it.  It is my absolute honor to stand here with you and may we each evolve, grow and remember our truth reflected in one another’s hearts.
