Do you find yourself at a crossroads in your life? Do you feel called to make a change? Need space in your life to find a new direction? Or to celebrate and mark a transition? The Solstice Wilderness Quest is a unique gathering - an invitation to explore our wild selves in the unpredictable era that we live in. It takes the form of a supportive five-day course, centred on one day of transformative solo fasting during the 16 hours from dawn to dusk out on the Cumbrian fells. Stepping into the wilderness alone, you will return with insights and wisdom to share and integrate into your life. Together, we’ll work as a community - preparing for the crossing, sharing stories, engaging in mini-adventures, reflecting on life’s big questions and celebrating this rite of passage. For thousands of years people have engaged with the wilderness and the ‘mirror of nature’ to find clarity in life. To answer the questions that life throws up, or to mark significant life transitions. Taking time out from the busyness of everyday life, people cross the threshold into wild places to attend more closely to the movement of soul, to remember what is at one’s core, what is most important. Nature is healing. She brings to our attention the ways that we can change and enrich our lives. Experience a solo wilderness threshold quest and guided rite of passage in the beautiful fells of the Lake District. A guided 5-day course, including a fasting day spent alone on the fells from dawn to dusk with expert forager, herbalist and author, Monica 'Mo' Wilde as your guide.
