Vision Quest

In some Native American Cultures a vision quest is undertaken as a turning point in life taken to find oneself and the intended spiritual and life direction.

The vision quest could be described as a practice in living and dying. Something is being left behind, dying; and something is beginning, being born. The vision quest supports both the dying and the rebirth by allowing space and time for new knowledge and understanding to develop and manifest.

It has three elements:

Severance – intentionally leaving behind your life as you have known it.

Threshold – the time betwixt and between what you have known and what is emerging.

Incorporation – the return with new knowledge, understanding and skills that will be integrated into the next stage of life.

Stuff Your Rucksack

As part of my experience I want to travel light. Really light. Everything I own in the world needs to be able to fit into a small rucksack. So how come I have a 20kg baggage allowance?

I wandered across an interesting post on Psy Forum entitled ‘Stuff Your Rucksack’. Stuff Your Rucksack enables travellers who have spare baggage allowance to make contact with charities all around the world in order to take out items needed by the local community. What a great idea!  

I have made contact with Yaowawit School in Southern Thailand and have received the school’s wishlist. With many of these items lying around at home and some kind donations from friends and family there should be no problem using my 20kg baggage allowance!

Although carrying a cumbersome suitcase around from KL to Southern Thailand may not be ideal, I’m really looking forward to spending some time at the school and helping out there.


Bring on the adventure!
