Welcome to Wild Rites
Seeing yourself anew in the mirror of nature
Wild Rites is an organisation dedicated to providing meaningful personal transformation in
Nature including Vision Quest in the UK.
“‘The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it’s the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.’
”
What is calling you?
What brought you here, to this web page?
Perhaps you searched for vision quests in the UK, or maybe you were looking for a way to supplement a meaningful therapeutic experience. Are you looking for something different, time away in nature that is going to challenge your sense of who you are in profound and exciting ways?
Something is calling you. Listen hard. Is it a question about what your life means, or what its really all for? Is it a call to inhabit this beautiful planet more consciously, to connect more deeply to the natural world around you and to hear what it is telling you. Is it the sense that you want to know yourself better and shape a future from that authentic understanding?
If some of those questions stir your curiosity, if they spark your imagination and give you a thrill of excitement, then Wild Rites and the journey we offer to The Deep River of Soul might just be the start of a great awakening into your authentic self.
Read on, traveller!

Call of the Wild Soul - 4 day intensive
We know from experience that Vision Quest is not the starting point for everyone. So we offer another nature based intensive, which can be also be truly profound.
The Call of the Wild Soul is four days of soul-making in nature, using fasting and the medicine wheel to guide us into a deeper relationship with our true selves.
Not just an introduction, this is a true wilderness encounter which can stand alone.
Vision Quest - 11 day intensive
For us, Vision Quest is an 11 day journey of preparation, quest and re-integration, using ceremony, group processes and individual experience to ensure that questers go deep, get right to the edge, in the search of their souls.
We live in a culture which has few connections left to its real roots. Vision Quest will take you back to your origins, it will show where you truly stand on this sacred earth.
Embodying the Vision - 4 day creative process
Embodying the Vision will help you ground your new found wisdom, whether you went on quest with Wild Rites, or elsewhere.
We call this three stage journey The River of Deep Soul. You can start with a quest, or with The Call of the Wild Soul and you can do either on its own. Our invitation to you is to journey with us, let the the river carry you to a more complete understanding of the true self you were born to be.
