VISION QUEST
28-31st May 2026 at Munay Sanctuary
The vision quest "Hanblecha" is an initiation ceremony in the native american lineage "red road" to connect with yourself, nature & the Great Spirit that lives in everything, with the intention to have a vision and find a strong purpose in life. It is one of the most powerful and beautiful experiences that we can have in this life time. We feel very blessed to be praying in these ways, on this sacred lands of Australia, in this lineage, the family of the Roots of the Earth.
The vision quest ceremony consists in fasting for 4 days & 3 nights without water or food by yourself praying in the hills, sitting inside a dedicated space that you make with tobacco prayers (sacred circle of the medicine wheel).
This is a way to stop the busy life, come back to nature, to our natural state of consciousness, our natural cycles and rhythms, connect with our spirit and give us the time to reflect and have a broader vision of existence and life, thus having more clarity and making better decisions in our lives. It is also a powerful opportunity to let go the past and start a new path, to be reborn into a new life, a new vision, and experience a profound transformation.
I invite you to live this powerful experience with us and start this sacred path with yourself and the existence, the great Mystery "wakan Tanka".
If you choose to quest, ideally you would have a person supporting you in the camp. Someone who will be praying, eating, drinking and sweating for you.
A Sacred Rite of Passage
For thousands of years, people across many Indigenous traditions have entered the wilderness in prayer and solitude to seek guidance, clarity, and connection with Spirit.

This sacred rite of passage is commonly known as the Vision Quest — a time to step away from the noise of everyday life and listen deeply to the wisdom of the soul. 
During a Vision Quest, participants spend time alone in nature in fasting, prayer, and reflection. Through this profound process of solitude and surrender, seekers open themselves to insight, healing, and the revelation of their life path.

A Vision Quest is not simply a retreat. It is an initiation. It is a sacred threshold where you meet yourself beyond identity, beyond roles, beyond the expectations of the world. Held by the ancient rhythms of the Earth, the silence of the mountains, and the prayers of the community, the quest becomes a doorway into deeper truth. Here, distractions fall away. The mind quiets. And something ancient within you begins to speak. Many who walk this path receive profound clarity about their purpose, their next steps in life, and the deeper medicine they are here to bring to the world.

For 4 days and 3 nights, questers sit alone on the land in prayer and contemplation, supported by the circle of community and experienced elders holding the ceremonial container.
This sacred time invites: Deep introspection and self-discovery Connection with nature and spirit Release of old patterns and identities Clarity around life direction and purpose A profound remembrance of belonging In many traditions, the Vision Quest marks important life transitions — moments when a person seeks guidance from the spirit world and from the wisdom of the natural world. 
We will have sweatlodges everyday, to pray strong for everyone questing in the hills.
If you are not ready to quest, you are very welcome to join the support team of the questers. Either way it is a truly life changing experience and all the support is deeply appreciated by us and the questers.
Being part of the support team also means you get to spend time and learn from Heriberto our elder from Mexico who will be guiding us all on this journey.
Heriberto (on the left), our teacher and elder from Mexico who will be guiding us all on this journey. This is an intertribal lineage between the Lakotas and Mexicas. He trained with Tigre Perez who trained under Leonard crowdog from the Lakota tribes. This is the fulfilling of the prophecies of the Eagle and the condor to bring together north , central and South American tribes and traditions.
This is a truly life changing experience whether you are questing or supporting.
