Applications

Vision Quest is an ancient ceremony that organically weaves the human spirit back into the web of all living things.

Over four days and nights, questers are given a simple and profound invitation to be remembered in their true essence. Through the beauty and power of Wild Nature you are returned back to your innate belonging to life.

Stalking Wolf Lineage

Our Vision Quests are proudly run within the Stalking Wolf Lineage. Stalking Wolf was a Lipan Apache, Native American wise man and visionary who passed down his knowledge and teachings of the Vision Quest to Tom Brown Jr and Malcolm Ringwalt and further to Katie Rydge and Sam Robertson (Nature Philosophy | Nature Connection & Survival Courses | NSW) and Steve McKenzie (Soulpaths) who have trained us and our team.

  • Circle Back Tasmania creates such a beautiful, nurturing, sacred space from which to live a deep connection to yourself and to this Earth. Helena and Cat surrounded me with support, wisdom and love as I stepped into this ancient soul ceremony of the Vision Quest. They embodied the teachings of this lineage, and wrapped me in the warmth of their presence as I navigated all the ceremony had to offer. Helena and Cat have a truly profound connection to the land, and I couldn’t help but feel this too, as I was held and opened up to the wonder and joy of expanding insight the Quest has to offer. I truly was in the ‘arms of the ceremony’ and continue to feel the integration support offered by these two beautiful, earth connected women. I have so much gratitude for this experience.

  • Cat and Helena are deeply soul-led, heart-centered beings who hold space with grounded strength and unwavering grace. With them as your Vision Quest Guides, you’ll receive an abundance of warmth, humility, and wisdom that only women who carry a deep connection to the natural world and her mysteries can provide. Their presence invites profound transformation, and I wholeheartedly recommend them as your Vision Quest Guides and Protectors.

    —Katie Rydge, Vision Quest Protector & Trainer in Stalking Wolf Lineage

  • During my vision quest I was fighting off whopping cough and felt very ill. When we were scouting our spots, Helena appeared as my guide to survey my spot, making sure it was safe and ticked all the boxes. Helena’s beautiful and soft energy was like a port in the storm for me, she was deeply intuitive and nurturing to my needs. Her soft and strong energy felt so calming & supportive for me in those moments and I felt super grateful that she was my guide in those moments. Thank you Helena
