VISION SEARCH :   "Hanbleceya"

Our experienced shamanic teachers WAMBLI MONI and INTI CESAR MALASQUEZ can also join us as leaders of sweat lodges in the summer months in the forest above our sweat lodge site. several days Perform vision quests. One of the seven sacred rituals of the Lakota to seek our own truth in communion with the Creator. To invoke a vision (face) that we experience through the spiritual power of fasting while awake in nature.

We will spend up to 4 days and 3 nights fasting alone in the wilderness on the mountain and only drink a little water in order to consciously gain new spiritual experiences for our lives. The Great Spirit is everywhere: in the stones, the grass, the animals, the sound of the wind and all the other voices in nature. At night, when we look at the stars, the narrowness within us merges with the immense expanse outside and we become one with the universe.

Before the vision quest, we seekers will meet with the leader in the Sweat lodge clean and our Reasons and intentions so that we become open to the visions or images (faces) that may be shown to us by the spiritual world. Then everyone retreats to their own suitable place in nature, which they have chosen for their retreat as sacred space and prepared with a tent, sleeping bag and the necessary tools and utensils (no electronics).

We will have enough time and space to inner search for clues where we are in life, what is holding us back and what we want to leave behind, what we want to do with our lives. Soul longs for, new and intensive Forms of perception for our body, inner and outer nature, new goals and Life phases start, natural hidden forces in us wake up and thus Separations, crises, Diseases to process and strengthen and deepen our spiritual connection with the Great Mystery, human beings and the entire nature of creation. 

We can live alone in deep Meditation or with our Drums, rattles and incense make contact with the spirit beings in the non-everyday reality and travel shamanically. We can also write our experiences on paper or draw our own perceptions.

The experiences are discussed with the leader on the last day after the  Purification and thanksgiving ceremony in the Sweat lodge before we say goodbye to our sacred place in nature after eating a light meal (vegetable soup). We then return to our everyday lives purified and strengthened by Mother Nature and the spiritual world.
