WHAT IS A WILDERNESS VIGIL?
The Wilderness Vigil also known as a wilderness fast or quest, is a long held cross-cultural ritual, one the ancients always turned to to find meaning and wisdom. It involves solitary time in the natural world, nurturing a profound connection with earth, the cosmos, and your innermost self.
This ceremony beckons you to step away from the noise of everyday life. It's a bridge that offers renewal, healing, and discovery of your true path. It's a chance to step away from distractions and focus on what truly holds meaning in your life.

“Deep in our bones lies an intuition that we arrive here carrying a bundle of gifts to offer to the community. Over time, these gifts are meant to be seen, developed, and called into the village at times of need.”

KIND WORDS
“Having a guide like Sarah to support the preparation and integration of my wilderness vigil was essential. The container Sarah holds as a nature guide and the depth of her essence as well as the familiarity with the energies and dynamics of the desert was priceless. Sarah is a deeply connected, strong, kind, powerful, generous, and knowledgeable human being. I believe Sarah is living her genius and is profoundly committed to other's spiritual evolution and personal transformation. My sense several months later is that my synchronistic experiences illustrate the depth and power of aligning with and receiving nature's wonder and beauty that was facilitated by and with Sarah.”
-Doug
“The insights that arrived during my first wilderness vigil have become a powerful roadmap for my life. Whenever I face uncertainty, I return to the journal that I kept during that time to rediscover the exact truths I need to know. The wilderness provided an unparalleled sanctuary where I could connect deeply with myself and receive clear guidance, to hear my own intuition, and connect to my soul’s dream. I am immensely grateful to Sarah for her expert guidance, which made this transformative journey possible. Not only is she a masterfully skilled wilderness guide who made me feel safe every step of the way, but her ability to reflect my experiences back afterward with such clarity deepened my understanding and appreciation of the entire experience.

“Sarah is a true guide in every sense of the word. She prepared me for and guided me on a wilderness vigil in Moab, Utah. In the months preceding the vigil, she mentored me, through soul work, and offered me invitations for connecting with the natural world. She guided me emphatically, and listened with a healing heart. She is a genuine healer who can connect you to the most beautiful places in the physical and spiritual world. It is a gift to be able to spend time with her and her healing soul.”
—Brad
“I began soul work with Sarah to dive deeper into my wild nature. We did weekly phone sessions, and she then guided me on a solo wilderness vigil. She was an incredible supportive guide. She also helped me integrate the experiences from my time in wilderness afterwards, and without a doubt she has helped me transform my life to a new level which included moving out of the country, something I would not have braved before my vigil. I have so much gratitude and appreciation for Sarah’s impact on my life.”
—Brian
