This is part of a continuing series of tales told in third person myth form, based on my experiences in a Vision Quest in the Mojave Desert. Our heroine had chosen her sacred power site for her two days and nights that she would spend in the Mojave Desert as part of her Vision…
As I tell my stories of my vision quest in the desert, I will be offering them to you in the form of a myth, a tale. All of it happened to me, but I hope by offering it to you in the form of a story, like many stories we have heard in life,…
If I told you that I feel different on a molecular level, perhaps that would explain why I haven’t posted to FB really since I returned from my Vision Quest a few days ago. I am stuck in ceremonial mind. From the first day I entered my Quest at the Joshua Tree Retreat Centre at…
