3. Vision Quest

On this and the following two podcasts, Luhren recounts the experience of a Vision Quest.  At a point in her life after the divorce and daughter making her own way she sold her home and left that world behind.  Luhren decided to go on a Vision Quest as preparation for the path she was to take.  In such a ritual a person separates herself from the everyday life, fasts and purifies herself, seeking a spiritual connection, and hopefully a vision that will guide her on her path.  It’s a powerful experience that attracts psychic forces to oneself.  One lets go of the tenacious grip on life and open self up to this force.  Afterward, what  happened will take time to unfold, one’s perception of life and role in it completely changes.
