Vision Quest Catskill Retreat – A Sacred Rite of Passage in Nature
2026-07-10 15:00 - 2026-07-12 13:00 UTC | Art Farm, Fawn lane Accord NY, NY, United States
A WEEKEND OF CEREMONY AND SAFE GENTLE SPIRITUAL PROCESSES TO ENSURE A PROFOUND EXPERIENCE TO ASSIST YOU IN MOVING INTO THE NEXT PHASE OF YOUR LIFE.

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 unfolding the remainder of your life’s journey.

Are you desiring a deep experience with your inner wisdom, spiritual guidance, and messages and signs from nature? As we move through stages of our lives, it is powerful to step back, ask, and receive comfort and guidance on our life journey.

RECLAIM YOURSELF, DREAM, ENVISION, WANDER, HEAL

RELEASE WHATEVER IS HOLDING YOU BACK.
“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.” CC, I loved it so much I came back to Quest again in 2025 and took the Soul Shamanism retreat in August..

A Sacred Invitation

A time for you. A beautiful natural space to relax and connect.
Pause and go inside to 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.

Are you preparing for a new chapter in your life?
Are 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.

We 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 speak, set expectations, and clarify the process.

“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.

We 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.
We 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.

Significant 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.
Friday-Sunday AM is preparation for your 6 hours on the land Sunday, sunrise to noon, in a sacred spot to Vision, Dream, Receive Messages and Signs in Nature, connecting you to your divine source. Resolve personal questions and conflicts. Coming back and integrating prepares us for our return to the world.
Our Sacred Space at Art Farm Recording

We 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.
Art 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.
We 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.
“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

This three-day retreat, from Friday to Sunday, allows a deep process and experience. Significant healing and becoming continue long after the Quest.

This 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.

Janet 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.

From Janet: When I attended my first Vision Quest, I knew this was an essential part of my calling to offer to others. For twenty-four 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. 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. More information is given in the email preparation packages.
