The night following the morning everyone came off the hill, we went in for a very intense and long sweat session. Followed by walking on fire.

No big deal.

I discovered that it was a luxury to have gotten my journey done with early, as it meant warm sleep, water, and meals. But it also meant helping with things for later in the week.

I passed a lot of judgement on myself on the five-minute walk back to camp.

The Sun came up on my first morning of the three-night/three-day Vision Quest, and I was ready to go full-swing into self-discovery and mind transformation.

Or so I thought.

We walked in slow silence along the trail to be placed in our Vision Quest spots… And begin our time “on the hill.”

An intense sweat, and a vow of silence, to start my Vision Quest.
