Vision Quest
A Soul Retrieval Desert Journey

SEPT 7 - 14 and upon request , 6 days/5 nights WADI RUM, 2 nights Madaba

Do you hear the quiet call of the desert?
A whisper to pause, listen deeply, and reconnect with your soul’s truth?

This Vision Quest Desert Journey is an invitation to step beyond daily noise, beyond roles and expectations, and into the silence of Wadi Rum. Here, under the starry skies of Jordan, you'll be guided into a space of deep presence, honest reflection, and soul remembrance.

We begin in Madaba, where you’ll arrive and rest before traveling south to the red sands of

Wadi Rum, home to timeless fantasy stirring landscapes and the wisdom of horses. Upon arrival, we’ll meet in the paddock—the invitiation is to connect with the herd. With no words, the horses help us see what’s ready to shift. Then we venture into the wild for a desert immersion: a grounding omen walk, a shamanic sound journey, and evenings around the fire. Each morning opens with yoga to awaken the body and expand awareness. Through breathwork, spirit animal retrieval, and a powerful fire ceremony, we prepare for the heart of our journey:

The Vision Quest

A sacred rite of passage practiced for generations across cultures.

On this night, you will spend intentional time alone under the stars, without distractions or outside input. You will listen, feel, watch. You will ask for guidance—from Spirit, from Nature, from the depths of your own soul. This night is about surrender and presence. It is where clarity begins.

The following days are dedicated to integration—bringing the insights back into the body and heart. We return to the horses and walk the Medicine Wheel in the paddock, receiving messages from the four sacred directions. Through movement, meditation, writing, and drawing, we begin to

embody what was revealed. Settling the messages into our being.

This journey is for those ready to walk with courage, to meet themselves in truth, and to remember the wholeness that has always lived within.

Are you ready to quest?

VISION QUEST

A Vision Quest is a powerful rite of passage found in many earth-based spiritual traditions. At its essence, it is a time of solitude in nature, where we step away from the familiar world to sit with ourselves and Spirit — without distraction, without noise, without the stories we usually tell.

It is a ceremonial journey to seek guidance, clarity, or healing. It is a threshold space — a crossing between what has been and what is yet to come. You sit with your questions. You listen for answers — not in words, but in signs, symbols, feelings, and the subtle language of Spirit.

To quest is to let go - of control, of timelines, of certainty - and to let Spirit show you what your soul already knows. It is an act of deep trust, of quiet bravery, of coming home to your truth.

Wadi Rum as Sacred Mirror

In the desert, the quest takes on a particularly profound quality.

Wadi Rum is not just landscape — it is presence itself.
Expansive. Silent. Fierce. Still.

The desert strips away all excess. It invites you to walk with nothing but yourself and find that it is enough. The red sands, the magical rock formations, the infinite starry sky — they reflect back your own inner vastness.

In this space, you begin to feel what is true.
You begin to see what is essential.

You begin to remember that you are not separate from

the earth, from Spirit, from life.

In Wadi Rum, the desert becomes your guide. The wind carries messages. The stars hold wisdom. The stillness speaks.

And in the heart of that stillness, you may just hear

the whisper of your soul.

SPIRIT ANIMAL RETRIEVAL

Shamanic Drum Journey

On the day of your Vision Quest, you will receive a Spirit Animal Retrieval — a shamanic drum journey to call in an animal spirit guide aligned with your soul’s path at this moment. In many tribal traditions, spirit animals are protectors and messengers from the unseen realms. Each carries a unique medicine — courage, clarity, playfulness, strength, vision — to support your growth, offer guidance, and reconnect you with your own inner wisdom.

As the drum opens a sacred space, Sarah Nour will journey on your behalf to meet the animal that wants to walk with you now. You’ll receive messages, insight, and a deeper sense of connection to Spirit and nature.

This ritual is especially powerful during the Quest Night — a time of threshold and transformation. Your spirit animal becomes an ally for the road ahead, reminding you that you are guided, supported, and never alone.

HORSE ALCHEMY

Soul Spark Rituals with the Herd

Experience systemic coaching with the herd as your leading soul guides. Upon arrival to Wadi Rum we connect with the herd and become aware of what is ready to shift. Themes such as balancing the Feminine and Masculine energies, connecting with our Ancestral Field, and navigating Attachment versus Authenticity may arise in the presence of these magnificent being.

“Reflect in nature - with the elements, rocks and horses”

After the quest we walk the medicine wheel in the paddock to receive supportive messages from the 4 cardinal directions. This process allows for old stories to dissolve, stuck energy to be released, and identity to be transformed. As a result, you gain more manifesting power to direct towards your authentic visions.

“I really enjoyed my retreat in Wadi Rum with Sandra. We did yoga, energy healing, Thai massage and therapy with horses. The whole retreat was comfortable, my needs were met and I experienced a deep connection to myself, the beautiful place I was in, and to Sandra. She made the retreat super special and meaningful, she is a wonderful authentic lady who truly cares.

I highly recommend retreats with her”
