Catskill Summer Vision Quest & Mitote
Jun 02, 2026 11:14AM ● By Jerome Bilaos
Step away from daily life and into a profound weekend of ceremony, healing and spiritual awakening with Shaman Janet StraightArrow. Held at a private retreat setting at Art Farm in New York’s Hudson Valley Catskills, the Vision Quest experience is designed to help participants release what is holding them back and reconnect with their authentic voice, purpose and inner wisdom.
Surrounded by forests, horses, bonfires and star-filled skies, the retreat centers around a sacred 12-hour Vision Quest in nature from sunrise to sunset, offering time for reflection, insight and connection to divine guidance. Participants are invited to dream, heal and envision the next phase of life in a supportive and nurturing environment. Many describe the experience as life-changing, with healing and awakening that continue unfolding long after the retreat ends.
Accommodations include shared cabins or tent camping on the private retreat property. Pre-registration includes a personal call with Janet to discuss the process and prepare for the experience.
