Give yourself the gift to pause and relax to go inside and discover your authentic voice, needs, choices, and inner wisdom. The quest begins at sign-up with regular emails to support each participant’s process in preparation for the three-day-weekend held on August 20-22 in Accord, New York. We awaken clarity, life purpose, and joy as we break through any illusions, fears, and ego. 

A Toltec Mitote Saturday raises our energy and prepares us for our time to vision on the land Sunday. This is a gentle yet powerful, life-changing weekend. StraightArrow has been holding Vision Quest retreats as a part of her purpose for 20 years. Profound healing, love, and movement occur. The dates were chosen on a full moon weekend to empower the process. 

“A retreat with Janet is coming home. Janet’s teachings emerge from a place of unconditional love. You come away with you and your life forever changed. Making a choice to work with Janet is giving yourself the most beautiful gift in the world” states a recent participant.

The retreat is located on sacred land with clean cabin accommodations or bring a personal tent. Hot showers and flush toilets are available. Sign-up early as the number of participants is limited.
