The Xtreme VentureQuest process essentially involves spending time alone in nature.
It is alone in nature without the distractions of modern civilization that we are able to communicate directly with 'spirit'. This has been done for thousands of years across nearly every indigenous culture throughout history.
What happens on an XtremeVentureQuest is that you first set an intention for doing a XtremeVentureQuest. This could be to gain clarity around a relationship. Or a health issue. Your life purpose. Or even just to connect more deeply with nature.
Having a clear intention starts to shift the forces involved and aligns the messages that you receive from spirit and nature.
Once you have decided on your intention for doing the XtremeVentureQuest, the next step is to find a spot in nature where you can be alone for 3-4 days. I've found the actual time period is not of critical importance. It's more about creating the space for you to receive messages and guidance from nature and spirit.
