We are the living manifestation of our family tree, and therefore, it’s essential to work on the healing of this tree in order to heal ourselves. We will learn different ways of how to clear the energetic binding between ourselves and others and to reclaim the power we may have been given away in our relationships, to restore harmony and balance.

In this module, our emphasis will be on cultivating greater resilience in facing life’s challenges, to offer guidance and support as individuals transition from their current roles and prepare to embrace new phases in life, and learning to love our shadow aspects.

The module begins with 1 day of mapping, through tasks and questions and preparation for the ancient tradition of the Vision Quest. You will spend 48 hours alone in nature without stimuli, to get in contact with your essence, nature, guiding spirits and your inherent potential. On the last day we will plan and hold a collective Rite of passage ceremony as a group and celebrate the end of this journey together.
