SUMMARY:Vision Quest Mitote Retreat– A Sacred Rite of Passage in Nature
DESCRIPTION:Take time away from everyday life to connect with your true nature and call forth a vision for the next phase of your life. A powerful\, transformative\, and transcendent experience in which healing and awakening continue for at least a year\, and continue into the remainder of your life’s journey.\nA Sacred Invitation\n \nA time for you. Pause and get off the track of your life to go inside and discover your authentic voice\, needs\, choices\, and inner wisdom as a gift you give yourself. You find that this experience offers deep healing on all levels\, and you feel free to be yourself.\n\nAre you moving through a significant change this year? Come for a powerful weekend of ceremony\, Journeys\, transformation\, and rebirth with Janet StraightArrow. Awaken clarity\, life purpose\, and joy as we break through illusions\, fears\, and ego. This is a gentle yet powerful life-changing weekend.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe begin the journey with emails leading up to the retreat\, preparing you for your experience. Before you sign up for the quest\, you call Janet to meet\, set expectations\, and clarify the process.\nWe gather on Thursday afternoon\, have dinner together\, and begin with an evening ceremony. Adding the Toltec Mitote to the Quest on Friday\, day and night\, enhances higher energy\, clarity\, and consciousness. By the time you come to your silent time on Saturday morning\, you are ready to be present for the gifts of nature and spirit.\nOur Quest time in our sacred spot in nature is from Sunrise to Sunset on Saturday. On Sunday morning\, we are gently rebirthed into ourselves through another ceremony and have space to begin processing and integrating before we rejoin the world as we head home.\n\n“A retreat with Janet is coming home. Janet’s teachings emerge from a place of unconditional love. You come away\, your life forever changed. Choosing to work with Janet is giving yourself the most beautiful gift in the world.” Beth Lieberman Mund\, Medium\, Channel\, Healer.\n\n\n \n\nThe main reason you go on a Vision Quest is to stop the world so you can find yourself. Without interference\, responsibilities\, and the roles and rules of who you think you are\, space opens up to receive. Vision comes in the subtle experiences as you release attachments and see and feel the truth. The deep inner self\, the soul\, has an opportunity to speak and be heard.\n\nWe enjoy the gift of letting go of daily routines and comforts to experience living in a private retreat space in a natural setting\, where there is little to no interference from the world\, which is always quite enlightening.\nWe become present for the big and the little things in our lives. Nature nurtures us and reveals beauty and wonder in every moment. In our sacred time\, we remember who we are and listen and learn more clearly.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSignificant changes are often made before or after the Quest\, as you are about to go through a new phase or rite of passage\, or you are just ready to go deeper on your journey and learn more.\n\nA Mitote Ceremony is the purification of us on all levels\, breaking up stuck patterns and allowing visions to come to us in the lucid state. The Gayatri Mantra is chanted throughout the ceremony by the smaller group\, which rotates around the central fire. Either you are chanting or dreaming on the outside of the circle in this experience\, allowing your energy to rise and for profound cleansing\, visions\, and inner movement.\n\nOn your Quest Day. In your sacred spot in nature\, you realize just how long an hour or twenty-four hours are in a day. This new perspective helps us make better use of our time at home. We bring back wisdom\, a new perspective\, and increased energy.\n“I feel like I am twenty years younger since my Vision Quest with Janet in July 2024. I reclaimed myself and found new strength\, peace\, and joy. I feel like I have a new beginning to an exciting life. I am profoundly grateful to Janet for providing this space and opportunity to live my true self\, who is quite wonderful.” Cheryl \nOur Sacred Space at Art Farm Recording\n \nWe enjoy walks in the woods\, bonfires at night\, a star-filled sky\, an outdoor soaking tub\, visiting horses\, and a nature-spirit-filled property. Janet also leads us through advanced Shamanic practices. \nArt Farm is a farm converted to a retreat space in the Hudson Valley in the Catskill Mountains\, west of New Paltz\, off the NY Thruway and Route 209. Janet rents the cabins and acres of property for privacy. We have a main cabin and smaller cabins\, each equipped with linens for sleeping and working together. A pine forest campground has a flush toilet and an outdoor stone-lined hot shower for tent campers. Your choice of accommodations. \nWe each provide our food and have an ample\, fully equipped modern kitchen\, along with indoor and outdoor seating options. It is suggested that we prepare something simple to make the most of our time. \n“Janet StraightArrow provides an unparalleled opportunity to bring you to the real you. It’s a well-worn path for her; she knows every part of this amazing journey. Janet emanates love\, respect\, and\, most of all\, joy in this great adventure. If you are ready to walk the path back to you – there is no better guide\, teacher\, mentor\, and friend than Janet StraightArrow.” Christine\, Therapist\, Shamanic Practitioner \n \nPREPARATION FOR THE QUEST DURING THE RETREAT\nShamanic practices and tools prepare us for our group’s quest time. The entire weekend is a ceremony that continues to gently unfold and allows you to reach higher states of consciousness naturally\, without drugs. Each person will have a safe place\, close enough and far enough away from others\, to have their own private experience. We will work together for one day in the community to prepare for our solitude and silence. After we return to the main camp\, we gather to share our experiences and prepare to re-enter the world.\nJanet StraightArrow has led many of these ceremonies over the years. The Mitote is a favorite among her students. You can camp in tents\, under the stars\, or in a comfortable main cabin or smaller cabins. We have enjoyed retreats in this space for eight years.\nThis four-day retreat\, from Thursday to Sunday\, allows a deep process and experience. Significant healing and becoming continue long after the Quest.\n \nThis is a life-changing experience that deserves space and time before and after the event to prepare and process. Keep healing and awakening to who you are\, breaking patterns\, healing karma\, stepping into your power\, and visioning your next steps and future.\nJanet has been a practicing Shaman for 34 years. She holds a powerful\, loving spiritual energy as a container for the group\, allowing each individual a space to connect with the divine and achieve their best during this retreat.\nRegestration\nTuition\, $777. Lodging $195. Deposit to hold your place: $250. The tuition and lodging balance is due in full by July 1\, 2026. Space is limited\, so sign up as soon as you are ready to join. The journey begins as soon as you sign up.\n\nCall Janet to see if this is for you and get more details—973-647-2500 — or text to set up a time to speak. Janet provides a list of suggested items to pack.\nPayment options for you.\nZELLE 973-647-2500 Janetstraightarrow@gmail.com\nVenmo Payments @janet-straightarrow 973-647-2500 \nwww.PayPal.me/janetstraightarrow\nEmail Janet for check info and address.\n\nFrom Janet: When I attended my first Vision Quest in 1997\, I knew this was an essential part of my calling to offer to others. For twenty-six years\, I have been holding sacred space for participants in a variety of locations. We create wonder-filled experiences as I guide you on your inner journey. As a Shaman\, I begin building the container as soon as it is scheduled. Offering this retreat takes a tremendous amount of my energy and time from the time I offer it to the public to many weeks after we come home. Dedicated to helping people become who they truly are is always an honor. I find it rewarding to witness participants leave for home feeling empowered\, clear\, and excited about their next phase of life. The Mitote Ceremony is part of Don Miguel Ruiz’s lineage. I studied with one of his apprentice teachers for 2 years and have been leading this powerful\, transformative ceremony at various retreats at least once a year since 2002. More information is given in the email preparation packages.
