COMMUNITY NATURE QUEST
OCTOBER 26TH - 30TH 2026, LES VALLEY, BALI
An Initiation into Essence, Balance & Vitality
Join us for a 5-day Nature Quest, an elemental initiation of embodiment and Spirit.
Centred around a 48-hour solo quest fasting in nature, offering you sacred space to receive guidance and visions for your path, life transitions and greater service.
This fourth Quest in Les Valley is for the community, welcoming both women and men to gather on the land, light the fire, share in the sacred pipe prayers, in songs, sweat lodge, ceremony and celebration . In communion with the land, the waters, the fire and all our allies; we together co-create a powerful portal for prayers for our lives and for All Our Relations.
~ Nature Quest ~
A 2 day dry and/ or water fast by yourself in nature - with the intent of emptying to receive clear guidance, teachings and vision on inner/outer purpose, through the embodiment of silent essence.
This is *not* a traditional Vision Quest (in which you would dry-fast for 4 days and nights. If this calls - we are happy to connect you with our elders/ altars that conduct this.) We have chosen to offer a form of questing that is accessible, universal and integrative to the body and nervous system. This kind of Questing brings many personally and collectively empowering transitions, new beginnings and powerful manifestations as you walk forward in life.
~ Sweatlodge ~
Purify the deep layers of the mind and body, strengthen your relationship with Spirit and Elements. The sweatlodge ceremonies will mark the opening and closing of your Nature Quest on Day 2 & 4 and one will be offered for those supporting on Day 3.
~ Medicine Music ~
Ceremonial songs are sung throughout ceremony. Together we open and activate our channels, our sacred voices, ancestral memories and offer back to the Earth and Mystery.
~ Elemental Initiations ~
Be guided by indigenous and shamanic practices, receive wisdom, gifts and blessings communing with the waterfall, river, spring, forest, mountain and sacred fire.
~ Daily Portals ~
Practices, prayers, and life ways of sacred balance are shared for your quest, day to day, family and generations to come.
~ Collective Weaving ~
Wise women and men are gathering, remembering, exchanging, visioning, uplifting, deepening our relations, supporting our individual and community prayers and weaving together as stewards of this new era.
The Quest will be held in the Sacred Valley of the North, on the lands that Anna-Maria and community have tended over the last decade. For the days you are invited to sleep together around the fire or in the dome, for the questers you will also spend the 2 days and nights in your sacred circle in nature, under the stars and sky.
This guided ceremony offers you sacred time in nature to connect with your inner wisdom, beauty, wholeness, truth, life purpose, greater visions and divine insight from the spirit realms for your path and service to community.
