A 6-day immersion. Like a near-death experience. Without the drama.
99% Five-Star Reviews
Most people are asleep. Going through the motions. Living by someone else's rules. And they know it.
Some people wake up when they face death. Everything gets clear. They see what matters. They know who they are. They stop wasting time.
But what if you didn't need to nearly die to get that?
That's what VysionQuest does. It creates that awakening without the drama.
When I was 21, I was diagnosed with leukemia. I had to face the fact that I might die. That experience woke me up. I saw what mattered.
But it still took me 13 years of searching to get the clarity I needed to actually live it.
That's when I started running retreats. And over 15 years of guiding hundreds of people through this work, VysionQuest revealed itself.
It's everything I discovered in those years. All the methods that actually work. Combined into one process.
You get the awakening. And the clarity. In 6 days.
You know the #1 regret people have at the end of their life?
"I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
But from what I've seen, it's not really about courage. It's about clarity.
When you get enough clarity, it compels you to act. Courage becomes irrelevant.
That kind of clarity usually only comes when you're facing death. When time runs out and you finally see what mattered.
VysionQuest gives you that clarity now. Without waiting for a crisis.

By night, drift off to the soothing sounds of the jungle. A primal lullaby that reminds you what it feels like to be alive.

This isn't about following someone else's formula. It's about waking up to what's true for you so you can actually live the life that's yours.
✔ Proven Process: Refined over 65+ retreats and 450+ awakenings
✔ Personal Guidance: Led by Rick Cowley, who creates the space for your clarity to emerge
✔ More Than Inspiration: You walk away with a clear vision and the conviction to live it
I’m busy. Is 6-7 days really necessary?
Yes. And that's why this retreat is so powerful. It gives you the space you never take for yourself.
When was the last time you truly stepped away from work, family, and daily responsibilities to focus entirely on you and the trajectory of your life?
The biggest breakthroughs don't happen in the chaos of daily life. They happen when you step back, slow down, and listen.
This isn't a break from your priorities. It's an investment in discovering what truly matters so you can create the future you actually want.
What's the daily itinerary?
Each day follows a structured yet spacious flow, designed to help you go deep into the VysionQuest process while allowing time to rest and recharge.
Mornings: Silent sunrise sessions, yoga, and guided VysionQuest journaling
Afternoons: More VysionQuest sessions, plus time to swim, walk, journal, or simply relax
Evenings: Group meals, reflections, and occasional fireside discussions under the stars
You won't need to check the time. Just follow the rhythm of the retreat and listen for the bell that calls us to the next session.
What if I don’t have a “big problem” to solve?
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from this retreat.
The #1 regret people have at the end of life is: "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
VysionQuest gives you that clarity now, so you can live the life that's yours while there's still time.
Do I need experience with meditation or journaling?
Not at all. The process is simple and accessible, even if you've never done meditation or journaling before. You'll be guided every step of the way.
What if I'm not "spiritual"?
You don't have to be. VysionQuest isn't about dogma or belief systems. It's about creating space for your own answers to emerge in a real, grounded way.
How do I know if this retreat is right for me?
If you're asking the big questions (Who am I? What do I want? What am I here to do? What's this all for?), you're ready.
If you're unsure, book a Clarity Call with me. We'll talk and see if it's a good fit.
Will I have time to rest and recharge?
Yes. The retreat is designed to balance deep inner work with time to relax, reflect, and enjoy the experience.
