A vision quest is a rite of passage in some Native American cultures, where individuals seek to gain insight and guidance through a period of solitary reflection in nature. During a vision quest, a person typically spends several days and nights alone in the wildern. The goal is to connect with the spiritual realm and receive visions or guidance that can provide direction, purpose, and healing. This experience is seen as a way to seek clarity, purpose, and wisdom for one's life path.
