Vision Quest 04-12 December 2024

Vision is crucial to our existence because it serves as one of the primary ways we perceive and interact with the world around us.

Having a strong Vision that we are able to connect to is essential as it enriches our experiences, facilitates communication and learning, ensures our safety, and empowers us to navigate the world with confidence and independence.

Your Invitation

Embrace this chance to embark on a profound inward journey that will shape not only your personal and professional endeavours but also your very being.

Vision Quest X Wild Tribes is a contemporary process steeped in ancient tradition that leads to an unveiling of the answers you seek.  As the noise of the world falls away and you learn how to surrender to the various aspects of this wilderness immersion, every fibre of your being on a mental, emotional and physical level will be tested.

Walking through this process will guide you towards new horizons of success, extreme clarity, and a holistic, deepening of your own relationship with yourself and the life you feel called to live.

Answering the Call of the Wild

The call to embark on a Vision Quest is a deeply personal experience that varies from person to person. There is no right or wrong way to feel called to this transformative journey.

It may be a stirring within, a felt sense of urgency to seek answers, build your physical /mental/emotional resilience, create change, or attend to specific aspects of your being or life.

What you come in search of is entirely unique to you also .

Some seek to discover their true purpose in life, while others pursue answers to the great mysteries of existence. Some are driven by a need for testing the fibres of their being, whilst others come to create a new relationship with their healing journey or to seek change, clarity, or direction. And for some, the call to quest represents an inexplicable yearning to explore the depths of their soul's landscape and meet new parts of themselves in a quest to become more self-aware and ultimately more able to thrive in life.

No-one can tell you how or why the call to quest will come for you, but, when it does, and you are ready to answer that call of the wild, we are here to support you through that process and do everything in our power to grant you safe passage through this most sacred of journeys.

The Origins of  Vision Quest

A ceremony steeped in tradition designed for the purpose of calling in a new vision for your life or next life stage, often leading to deeper layers of self-discovery, inner mastery and profound clarity about the path ahead of you.

We have a vision to make the ancient wisdom and powerfully transforming medicine of this solo, nature-based ceremony available for the benefit of all - no matter their gender, lineage, race or culture.

Kat Sforcina , the founder of Wild Tribes, is an initiated Vision Quest guide in the Stalking Wolf lineage (Lipan Apache Lineage) and will lead the team who will look after you throughout your journey.

What happens during a Vision Quest?

Our Vision Quest program is a fully immersive 9-day nature-based experience. It consists of three main components: preparation, the vision quest ceremony itself, and integration.

Each component is meticulously designed to ensure you are fully prepared for your quest and receive comprehensive support during your return to everyday life. The heart of the experience lies in the four days and nights you spend alone in a natural bushland area, fasting from all that is familiar to you including;  food (unless medically necessary), as well as all forms of modern-day convenience, distraction and communication. In this environment, nature becomes your closest companion and through that place of stillness, you will have ample opportunity to seek what you have been called, through Vision Quest, to find.

What others are saying about working with Kat and the Wild Tribes team:

"I was feeling stuck and often really flat, despite having so much to be grateful for. I have plenty of mindset tools, but this time I just couldn’t get out from under a black cloud. I booked in for one of Wild Tribes programs.

It was phenomenal. I’m not exaggerating when I say I feel like a new person - at the very least a clearer, lighter version of myself. I just feel more connected to ME. I highly recommend Kat for her skill, intuitive wisdom and love. ”

- Stephanie.R, Sydney, NSW

"The process I journeyed through with Kat has been a doorway to transform my way of being in the world. Where I now allow myself the pleasure and beauty to sense all of life with the vibrancy of joy, love, gratitude and compassion. Much love, respect and gratitude for the work that Kat is bringing into the world. Her way of holding space allows for deep old patterns to be seen, embraced and released with love, creating the conditions for deep healing insights to flow into being and new ways of being to be vitalised and honoured."

- Karina.K, Enmore, NSW

“Meeting Kat  was one of those 'a-ha' moments in my healing journey. After finishing our body of work together, I feel more in tune with myself, my young family and the world around me than I ever have before. Thank you  for helping me find my way through.”
