Vision Quests

At Backcountry Retreats, we assist individuals who seek to find their true selves in nature but feel as if they need the support of a compassionate and capable wilderness guide and EMT. We'll assist you in finding a remote wilderness location for your fast of 4 days and nights and will act as a remote 'stand by' in case of an emergency. Having quested ourselves, we can offer support and guidance for your solo time.

If you feel called to spend 4 days and nights alone in the wilderness, contact us and we may be able to assist you with your experience. We can also refer you to organizations such as Animas Valley Institute, who have over two decades experience with contemporary wilderness rites of passage.

Since time immemorial, people have gone to the wilderness
to seek guidance and renewal,
to let their old lives and old selves die,
to find the conditions where spirit may be rekindled,
reborn within them.
