Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a "life force", and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body can begin working to its highest potential

This type of healing is literally translated as the vessel of healing. It is hard to describe the session because each session tends to be different.

Earthward Journey runs a week long retreat in the wilderness with a 4 day solo Quest as the focus of the retreat. The week is designed to help prepare and process the experience. This is a ceremony passed down from Stalking Wolf (Grandfather), Tom Brown Jr (Tracker School) and Malcolm Ringwalt's Earth Heart.
The Vision quest is as old a dirt. Each religion and culture had a form of Vision Quest that has been used to deeply get in touch with self, purpose/vision and a higher power. This ceremony takes from no tradition and has been distilled down to the essence of what makes the Vision Quest. In essence it is 4 days in the wilderness by yourself fasting from all things familiar. This program requires an application and you must be accepted into the program to participate.
