SUMMARY:Vision Quest Mitote Retreat– A Sacred Rite of Passage in Nature
DESCRIPTION:Take time away from everyday life and enjoy time in nature to connect with your true nature and to call forth a vision for the next phase of your life.\nA Sacred Invitation\n4 Days 3 Nights Tuition. $777. Lodging $195.\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 time in nature. Before you sign up for the quest\, you call Janet to meet\, set expectations\, and clarify the process. Our time in our sacred spot in nature is from Sunrise to Sunset on Saturday.\nAdding 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 the weekend of questing\, you are ready to be present for the gifts of nature and spirit. On the last morning\, we are gently rebirthed into ourselves and have space to begin processing and integrating before we rejoin the world as we leave for home.\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.\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.\nAre you moving through a significant change this year? Come for a powerful weekend of ceremony\, Journeys\, transformation\, and rebirth with Shaman 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 \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.\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.\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\nThe 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.\nI chose this location\, Art Farm in Accord\, NY\, because it provides a safe\, comfortable experience for all.\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.\nPREPARATION.\nBy participating in Shamanic practices and tools\, we prepare for your group’s quest time and share this experience. 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.\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 safe container. 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.\nWe begin the journey with emails to support your preparation and inner process\, starting as soon as you sign up.\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.\nTuition\, $777. Lodging $195. Deposit to hold your place: $250. Tuition and lodging are 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.\nA powerful\, transformative\, and transcendent experience in which healing and awakening continue for at least a year into the remainder of your life’s journey\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.\nZELLE 973-647-2500\nVenmo @janet-straightarrow\nwww.PayPal.me/janetstraightarrow\nEmail for check info and address.

Ask for details. \nONGOING STUDENT TESTIMONIAL. Janet brings a rare blend of grounded wisdom and lightness to her teachings. She makes the deep work feel accessible and real\, never too heavy or too precious. She doesn’t lead from a pedestal — she walks with you. Her presence is steady\, spacious\, and refreshingly human. \nThrough her Soul Shamanism practices — which blend guided journeys\, spiritual mentorship\, and energy alignment — I’ve learned to return to my center again and again. Her work is rooted\, clear\, and practical. Over the years\, her teachings have become a companion to all the modalities I work with — not the backbone\, but a trusted ally. And to me. \nHer support has reminded me again and again of my own agency — the power I hold to welcome\, release\, and return to what’s true. I’ve come home to myself through this work many times — with more clarity about the role I play in my own life\, and the love I want to lead with. With deep gratitude\, Jocelyn \nSOUL SHAMANISM NOTES FOR STUDENTS  \n \nAs I work with all of you\, I find there is more to help you discover your true self and mind. \nI am writing a Playbook for the practice. Here are some notes below to remember and begin.\nIN JOY! \nDiscerning truth from lies is tricky\, as they all sound like our own voice.  \nIn creating our reality in our daily life\, we use methods that have kept us safe as children. In working in divine realms\, we purify the stories and discover the truth\, which frees us on all levels of our being.   \nThe reason I start with the Monkey Mind teachings and breaths is manifold. \n\nImmediately\, you begin to clear energy in your mind\, body\, and all energy bodies that have been added to your true nature and create confusion.\nWhen we do this breath\, we dismiss the energy of the thoughts that control us.\nDropping into our quiet center\, we can finally hear the voice of our inner wisdom\, our soul.\nThe ego part that thinks that we are in control is what interferes.\n Proper control is when we allow the ego to align with our soul.\nWhen we recognize that these are not our thoughts\, our truth\, or what we desire\, we can choose to begin making lifelong changes.\nNotice what throws you off track: a key phrase is “a part of me” does not want to take care of me or do the correct thing.\n\nTHIS IS NOT YOU! Parts that work against us are the interfering energies. \n\nSo much of our personality takes doubt and disempowering thoughts for granted.\nThe reason I say zero tolerance\, or no B.S.\, is to help us stop playing limited and small.\nIt is a practice to stop accepting less than who we are.\nThe soul knows all.\nWhen we have a voice of doubt\, or putting us in our place\, and limiting us with reasons and excuses\, it’s all B.S.\nWe practice this to know the truth of our souls.\nThis is also a profound spiritual practice to be fully in your authentic self\, personality\, and soul.\nAs we align with the divine\, clarity and peace arise within.\nOur lake is a real space and always in us\, and us. \nAnything that blocks us from this can be cleared.\nThe universal law is that when we are 100% clear and free of doubt\, and command change and energy out\, it has to leave immediately.\nTenacity. Confidence. Practice.\nOur lake is our inner space in higher dimensions\, always ours to access and work with.\nThis is the most profound spiritual Shamanic practice I know for accomplishing healing and gaining knowledge on all levels.\nWe access our inner net that knows all.\nEvery part of the teachings and experience is a journey.\n\nComing back to the breath and practicing it throughout the day is key. \nThis is not just another breathing practice; it awakens us to see and feel the truth of who we are. \nThe thoughts we clear are the ones controlling our lives. \nWE CLEAR REAL ENERGY OF TRAUMA AND ALL WE HAVE CARRIED THAT INTERFERES WITH OUR TRUE SELF. \nAs we no longer listen\, follow\, analyze\, or talk to them\, we are free to release the energy\, patterns\, and beliefs that have brought them to us in the beginning and since. \nAs we stop tolerating not knowing\, the knowing is awaiting our attention. \nGetting out of our minds and into our souls is subtle\, and as we continue this practice\, it becomes clearer and easier.  \nA couple of questions come to me as I work with us all. \nWhy do we so easily believe negative beliefs instead of embracing the higher positive vibrations and truth? \nOne reason is that it is the way we have been socialized\, and how our ego has adapted in all areas of our lives. \nHaving good boundaries and discernment takes practice. We are breaking through illusions to truth. \nYou can feel it in your energy. \nYou also say protective sayings in your head or out loud. \nIt will be okay. \nIt’s alright.  \nIt’s just the way I am. \nIN THIS PRACTICE. We learn to go within to our higher self\, soul\, and twin\, and to know the truth. \nIt is a practice to trust and know what we know. \nAs soon as we buffer truth and experience with kind of\, sort of\, maybe\, I think\, or like\, we are entertaining fear. \nTo say what we mean\, and mean what we say\, is an essential learning curve and practice for all. \nNo doubt. No fear. No judgment or blame. \nPractice this in your everyday life. \nHONOR This is my experience\, choice\, decision\, and action. \nBeing our own advocate is imperative. \nThe universe works with us\, calling for what we want. \nI want Clarity. Purpose. Healing. Wisdom. Truth……I want to know my authentic Self.  \nSurrendering to our highest and best allows things to happen\, doors to open\, movement\, and action.  \nWE BEGIN TO HAVE A clear path open to us. \nJoin us at the next level of classes\, where we are experiencing amazing healing and life-changing connections. \nAlways in Love\, Janet StraightArrow 973-647-2500 \n  \n
