Sunrise naturally is a fixed time. All other times may vary a little because it is an organic process.
"In total there are seven sweatlodges and seven dances on three and a half days. That sounds like a lot, but I experienced it as a pleasant rhythm. In the evenings I was nourished and fulfilled. In addition to the rituals, there was also time to just sit by the fire, chat with others, take a nature walk, or rest. "
participant, about the retreat last year in Italy.
The subsequent visionquest
from 26.-30. August
is part of the whole and inherently belongs to it. However, you can also attend either the ceremony or just the vision quest.
"The experiences that I have made during my visionquest 24 years ago are carrying me to this very day. They brought me the basic feeling of my life: Everything in this world has its place. I am wanted as I am and ther are always many blissfull forces with me. "
