Vision Quest
7 days with 4 days solo in Nature
Start your quest
13-20 .09 .26 — Kluisbos, Flemish Ardennes
One week in nature with a 4 Day solo Vision Quest provides a superb opportunity to cultivate the experience and realisation of one’s essential union with nature. This time alone in nature makes you see the beauty all around you and so in yourself. With this amount of time away from human culture: technology, society, family, and friends you get a rare opportunity to relax, enter deep presence and experience your True Nature.
As founder and coach of HEROES, Jeroen guides people on profound transformational journeys back to their essence. Last year, he traveled with his family through the wide and wild plains of Africa — living without a schedule, sleeping under the stars, with the roaring lions in the background.
Where Jeroen went to Africa, Lieve went to Patagonia. With nothing more than a backpack and no tent, she explored trails no one had walked before, completely immersed in the raw and rugged wilderness of Argentina.
Both of them, each on their own journey into the wild. And now, back together, we are bringing our love for nature to you — in the magical Kluisbos.

More details
Safety and well-being
Your safety and well-being during the Vision Quest is of our utmost concern; in fact, participating in a quest is as safe as going camping. A uniquely designed “buddy system” with daily checkpoints allow you, your fellow questers and your guides to verify the safety of everyone involved, while still honoring your solitude. In addition, a base camp is located nearby, and a whistle call quickly alerts an adjoining solo partner or guide to your site.
During Vision Quest, reading, writing or campfires are not recommended. You will fast and enjoy the comforts of your own tent. When you remove the demands, habits and trappings of everyday life, the essence of yourself can be revealed.
What are the health benefits?
Fasting will get you in a state of ‘ketosis’ and switch on the self-healing capacity of the body. Autophagy will be triggered in your body. This is the body’s natural process of “eating bad cells” that’s not cleared in the body. It is an important system in the prevention of many diseases, including cancer. The response on insulin will be better, inflammation will be cooled down and it turns on the production of stem cells in the brain and all other organs of the body. To keep it short: The body will be in a repairing mode.
In nature, with its diversity and richness of color, shape, irregularities, smells, tastes and other impressions, our consciousness and our perception has been formed and has evolved over millions of years. By returning to nature and rediscovering our senses with the help of the exercises presented, we are given an opportunity to revive many dormant abilities that lie fallow. Each of us can become more awake and present beings if we train our sensing abilities, release worry and attachment, and allow ourselves to just Be in a state of “alert resting”.
