Details: Solo

The culmination of the week’s work will be a one or two day solo quest. In the evening of the second to last night, each young man will find a special place to spend a day alone without food. That night and the next day he will sit alone in silence.

A solo quest is part of an ancient tradition and has been developed in many cultures. The purpose of our quest is to further the pursuit of freedom on an individual level; the solo quest is a culmination and a rite of passage. Some may chose to eat a small amount of food. Some may chose to eat normally.

At the conclusion of the solo quest, we will come back together as community to share and discuss our time alone. Careful attention will be paid to feelings and visions. We hope to learn and grow from the stories we share.
