Current Schedule

~ Thursday October 30 ~ 7am-9pm ~ All Hallows Eve, eve ~

Other dates available, by appointment

First I'll tell you a little about myself, then the Quest, which is not a traditional Native American Vision Quest, but it does have the same intent: to receive spiritual vision, guidance and understanding.

My name is Peter Ross V. I have been involved in holistic health and healing work for over 22yrs.

My path has taken me many places to study, learn and live, beginning when I was 17yrs old. I moved from Madison, WI to spend the summer working and living (in a tent) in the Sonora desert in Arizona.

Since then I've lived in many amazing places, including a tipi deep in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and Uganda (East Africa) for over 3 yrs. When I move back to Wisconsin in 1999, I discovered that this state is a very special place with some very powerful spots.

Each place I've been to was special and helped me to learn and grow into the person I am today. I began my career in the healing arts at the age of 20 when I began my massage practice in Madison, Wi. In addition to therapeutic massage, I was also trained in Acu-pressure, Polarity energy work and Re-Birthing. I have learned much since then and have added many different and varying techniques to my repertoire.

Two years ago, while on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, I had a profound life changing vision - an awakening - that led me to my current path.

One of the constants throughout my life has been the regular visits to Power Spots. Many times it was unplanned, almost like I was drawn to the spot by unseen spiritual forces. But each time, I had an intense experience of healing, spiritual awakening and understanding. Now I am sharing this wisdom and power with others.

Planet Earth is a great source of power and healing energy. There are places where you can tap into this energy more easily than others. These are called “Power Spots”.

For over 20yrs I have been traveling the world in search of such spots. They have been an integral part of my own spiritual journey. Now I have been called on to share this knowledge. When you plug into this vast, intense source with intention, your own energy can be cleared, balanced and healed. You can also receive teachings and messages from beyond the veil (the spirit world), imparting vision, wisdom and direction.

Wisconsin is a unique and special place. I have discovered several very powerful spots within 2-3 hrs of Milwaukee. We will take a full day (7am-9pm) to explore these spots and tap into their power.

If you are ready to take your own journey to the next level, then this may be the path for you.

This is very powerful, life altering work. As I mentioned earlier, you can expect healing, guidance, spiritual awakenings, understanding and new direction. We are using the powerful energy of the earth - intensified by the power spot - to help us to increase our own vibrational level and to connect to the spiritual world that exists unseen all around us all of the time.

When you reach this state, it is one of the most amazing things you have ever experienced. You have a very strong sense of total peace and serenity, yet so much energy and power at the same time. You gain a new perspective on your life and an understanding of yourself, your life and your relationship with others that you never had before, and you understand you are OK. Everything is going to be OK. You can exhale. You can relax and let go of the deep, underlying constant fear that we all struggle with.

The feeling is incredible! That alone is worthy of a lifetime goal.

My goal, however is to help you to take that feeling and the perspective and wisdom that you gain from this experience and apply it to your life so that it can have a lasting positive impact, AND empower you to achieve your goals and dreams.

Day Trip Schedule:

All Hallows Eve

Samhain. All Hallows. All Hallow’s Eve. Hallow E’en. Halloween. The most magical night of the year. Exactly opposite Beltane on the wheel of the year, Halloween is Beltane’s dark twin. A night of glowing jack-o’-lanterns, bobbing for apples, tricks or treats, and dressing in costume. A night of ghost stories and séances, tarot card readings and scrying with mirrors.

A night of power, when the veil that separates our world from the Otherworld is at its thinnest. A “spirit night”, as they say in Wales.

All Hallow’s Eve is the eve of All Hallow’s Day (November 1). And for once, even popular tradition remembers that the eve is more important than the day itself, the traditional celebration focusing on October 31, beginning at sundown. And this seems only fitting for the great Celtic New Year’s festival. Not that the holiday was Celtic only. In fact, it is startling how many ancient and unconnected cultures (the Egyptians and pre-Spanish Mexicans, for example) celebrated this as a festival of the dead. But the majority of our modern traditions can be traced to the British Isles.

For any questions, or to book, please e-mail me:

I charge $150/person or $275/couple.

This includes transportation and a Dinner meal. If you want lunch or snacks, you should bring that , or you can pick up something when we stop in Madison.

The Fall Is Upon Us
Insight Into The Equinox

by Robin DuMolin

The Autumn Equinox is the counterpoint to the Spring Equinox. Whereas the Spring season is the time when life seems to be renewing itself and coming to the surface, Autumn is when things begin to shed, and the growth which was young in spring is now matured. Springtime energy speeds up, in the fall it slows down. The energy of Spring is upward, plants pushing upwards towards the bright sun, in Fall the energy moves downward, leaves falling away from the trees.

The Equinoxes are the two days out of the whole year when the northern and southern hemispheres receive the same amount of sunlight, and the days and nights are the same length. The tilt of the Earth's axis is not toward the Sun, but lies at a right angle to an imaginary Earth-Sun line. At the equator, the sun is directly overhead. These days are the Equinoxes (Equinox means "equal night").

The Equinoxes are times of balance, and also times of intense change; the solar rising and setting points are moving quickly from day to day - southward during Autumn, northward during Spring. The Autumn Equinox was the time of the harvest festival.

Why in Autumn do we want to match the animals in nature and hibernate? The energy on the planet changes. This energy is called life-force energy, Christ-force energy, Universal energy, Supreme Being's energy. In the Autumn this energy is drawn down into the Earth. Outwardly, the leaves are drawn off the trees. Inwardly, we experience feeling drained. But the good news is that the energy that is draining is most likely not our own anyway. We took on someone's energy (thoughts, emotions) and obligingly, or in most cases, ignorantly carried it around, until the fall season draws our attention back to ourselves where we experience a change in energy within and around us. That is one of the purposes of the seasons, to be different from all the others so that we notice changes we might not have if everything stayed the same. Each season prompts us to reflect (go inward). It makes us pause to review our lives.

With Autumn equating to the harvest time of year, what have we harvested in our lives? Well, it depends what type of seeds we have planted. If tomato seeds were planted, we would expect tomatoes. If we planted negative thoughts, guess what will be reaped during harvest time? Positive thoughts and ideas? Guess again! We are farmers with our thoughts, ideas and emotions as much as a farmer who uses soil as his medium. That is why it is so important to put our attention on what we truly want to experience, and then create the correct atmosphere (attitude or medium) for that to manifest (your mock-ups). How successful would a farmer be if he planted tomato seeds but then never watered, fed, or weeded that area? It isn't enough to want to experience something. We must create the receptive environment for it to show up so that our harvest is a successful one! The Autumn Equinox symbolizes harvest time outwardly and inwardly.

Because the Autumn Equinox happens during the time of year when people generally slow down, it is a great time to get rid of all the excess baggage before New Years so we can start anew with a clean slate. Why have there always been festivals and celebrations during the turning points, the four seasons of the year? To communally and outwardly energize the blessings of our lives.

Autumn is the season between Summer (the season with lots of activity) and Winter (hibernating, slowing down time). We can see why it is called an Equinox, a balancing time, equal time. In Winter we plant our seeds (do our mock-ups or New Years resolutions). In Spring they sprout, in Summer they mature, and in Autumn, they are harvested. So like seeds in the ground, our ideas are also nurtured and grow, through the combination of cosmic and earth energies. Not only is it harvest time, but it is also time to prepare for the next season of crops (mock-ups)

The Autumn Equinox associated with harvest time is also closely associated with the dead. In many cultures around the world human sacrifices have been offered. The sacrifices were offered with the belief they would insure a good crop, a future plentiful harvest. Corn, also associated with Autumn and the harvest, comes from under the Earth where the dead reside. But corn really had more to do with fertility and new life. In Germany, peasants used to break the first straws of hay brought into the barns, saying, "This food is for the dead." Many people throughout the world hold festivals at this time of year honoring the departed.

In Japan at the Spring and Autumn Equinox is the Higan-e. It is observed for three days before and after the Equinox. Six days was chosen because it is based on the six perfections, giving, observance of the precepts, perservence, effort, meditation and wisdom - needed before one goes from this shore of samsára to the further shore or nirvana. The literal meaning of higan is "other shore." The ritual includes repentance of past sins and prayers for enlightenment in the next life. It also includes remembrance of the dead and visits to the family graves. It is thought that the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes, being the most temperate times of the year, are ideal moments to reflect on the meaning of life.

Summer Solstice

"The Sun now exerts its maximum power upon our part of the Earth as its rays strike us head-on. The time of full outward physical manifestation is here. The powers of inner contemplation are at their lowest point, and everywhere are the energies of "doing," of exerting the will.

The Sun moves from Gemini into Cancer, signaling the point of Solstice, of highest solar energy for this year. This was the ancient time of celebration, of outward joy in the fullness of life, the richness of our worldly blessings.

It is just as true for us today. As we experience the warm, full power of the Solstice Sun, we are called to make true on earth the words of the Master Jesus, "I and the Father are One." To understand this is to recognize the divinity in everyone we meet. Use this day to see God in each face that you greet."

	If we do not already have a day scheduled (such as Solstice or Equinox), you pick several days that would work for you to take the entire day off (7am-9pm). We will coordinate that with my schedule to pick a day that works for both of us.
	There are several spots that I know of within a couple of hours, but the best place for your first time is about an hour SW of Madison.
	I will leave Cedarburg at 7am to pick you up, then stop in Madison to pick up food at a health food store (unless you want to opt for the more powerful option of FASTING for the day). But even then, we would eat something at the end of the day.
	Arrive at our destination approx 10-11am
	Our destination will be in a wilderness area. We will spend an hour or two just resting and relaxing in front of a fire (if it is cold enough to warrant it). This is very important to let go and release all of the stress and anxiety of the world that you are constantly holding onto. It also helps to attune yourself to the vibration of the earth and recharge your energy.
	I will share some meditation and breathing techniques with you to help take advantage of the powerful energy of this area.
	We will also focus our intentions for the day, so we are clear on what you want to accomplish or experience.
	Then we will hike up to the initial Power Spot. I call it Kiva Point. It is on a high rock outcropping that overlooks a vast tract of wilderness. The hike is not too long, steep or overly strenuous.
	We will spend 2-4 hrs at this spot, working with the energy. I will help you with guided meditations and healing energy work or you can do your own process without my interaction. The choice is entirely up to you.
	When we are complete at this spot, we will journey to a hidden glade with a magical waterfall! Here we will contemplate and reflect and continue our journey until dark.
	When dusk falls, we will return to the place where we began with a healing, restful fire. We will restart the fire and eat a light, healthy (yet satisfying) meal cooked over it.
	Feel free to sleep (and to dream) on the ride back home. You will be a new person, with a new life and a new future, full of unimagined possibilities.
