Step into the VysionQuest Retreat and enter a world where your true self awaits.
It's more than just a retreat; it's a sanctuary where time slows down, giving you the space to rediscover your true path and unlock the next chapter of your life. Under the warm guidance of Rick Cowley, you'll journey with fellow brave souls - from business owners and leaders, to professionals and parents – people just like you who are yearning for deeper meaning in their work and life. Together, we'll explore, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear or two, as we uncover your deepest desires and reignite your passion for a life that transcends conventional success. The VysionQuest Retreat is the turning point to a life of greater purpose and fulfillment.
Who is this for?
Tailored for Success-Driven Individuals Seeking More
If you're someone who has tasted success but now craves deeper meaning and fulfillment, the VysionQuest Retreat is designed for you.
Your journey to us might be fueled by various reasons – overwhelming stress (which you're probably taking out on your loved ones), a significant personal loss, a crucial transition phase in life or business, or simply a profound knowing that there's more to life and your potential. Our retreat resonates powerfully with high achievers facing one or more of these challenges:
- Inner emptiness despite outward success
You've achieved so much of what you set out to but there's still this nagging emptiness. Everything looks great on the outside, but inside, you're asking, "Is this all there is?"
- Burned out and out of balance
The relentless demands of business have taken their toll over the years. The cycle of work-work-work can lead to poor mental and physical health, neglected family relationships, and even total breakdown.
- Disconnected from your true self
Remember who you were before all the business madness? It's easy to lose yourself in the hustle and end up feeling disconnected from what really matters to you, leaving you feeling lost and value-less.
- Stuck in a rut
Sometimes, it feels like you're just going through the motions. Like you're stuck and not really living up to your full potential. It's like you're missing a clear direction and just can't seem to find that spark again.
- The persistent feeling of 'not being enough'
It's like no matter how much you achieve, there's this little voice saying you could do more, be more. It's exhausting, always trying to prove yourself and scared of making a mistake.
- Leading can be lonely
It's tough when it seems like no one really gets the challenges you face. What you'd give for some genuine connection with people who truly understand.
The VysionQuest Retreat is a haven where you can address, confront, and transform these struggles into clarity, purpose, and a renewed passion for life and business.
What to expect?
The VysionQuest experience, developed during 60+ retreats, is like nothing else on the planet.
It's all about asking the right questions, in just the right way, in a space that feels like it was made for your soul. Our journey together includes 28 carefully curated modules, each blending a soothing guided meditation with an insightful journaling exercise. And it's not just about introspection; we come together for group sharing and feedback, creating a warm, supportive community vibe.
Beyond the sessions, every aspect of our retreat is crafted to nurture your connection with your inner self, from the delicious and healthy meals prepared fresh to the re-energizing, beginner-friendly yoga sessions. Our retreat space is designed with your peace and rejuvenation in mind, nestled in nature's embrace. And of course, there are a few special touches and surprises along the way to make your experience truly unforgettable.
There are SO many amazing things happening in my life right now as a result of me or someone close to me doing this. Just. Do. It.

The VysionQuest formula is a powerful catalyst for breaking the chains of self-doubt, awakening you to your true potential.
Our 3 pillars cause you to experience an extraordinary level of clarity and energy that makes your calling undeniable and your path forward unmistakably clear. For many, this journey transcends the ordinary, evolving into a profound spiritual experience – no hallucinogens required!
1. Reconnection
Immerse yourself in a safe, sacred space where you can tune out distractions and reconnect with your core. This is a place where profound healing happens - healing that you didn't know you needed. Where you can let go of the past, make peace with your 'failures', and transform curses into blessings. You emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before.
2. Clarity of Purpose
Discover an unparalleled level of self-understanding. Here, you'll gain an unshakable inner knowing of Who You Are, What You Want, and What You're Really Here to Do. We guide you in uncovering your true purpose and how to express it through your business and life. You'll regain your confidence and find crystal-clear direction that feels RIGHT.

We help you tap into satisfaction on a soul level, aligning your daily actions with your deepest values... With a special emphasis on your unique purpose and on your dearest relationships.
These 3 pillars are how you let the quiet voice inside redirect you down an authentic path of joy and meaning, rather than a path that others said you should be following.

Rick Cowley: The heart and soul behind VysionQuest
Rick's journey to creating the VysionQuest process is as inspiring as it is profound. His world turned upside down when he was diagnosed with leukemia at 21. But it turned out to be one of the best thing that ever happened to him. He uncovered some life-altering realizations: the undeniable importance of purpose, the preciousness of time, and the transformative power of clarity. These insights are the cornerstones of the VysionQuest framework.
Today, Rick, alongside the dedicated VQ team, passionately guides others in uncovering their true purpose and dreams, paving the way for a life rich in fulfillment and meaning. The VysionQuest process, honed and perfected across more than 60 retreats and with the wisdom of hundreds of high achievers, is a journey like no other. Embark on this unique experience with Rick, and prepare to see your world transform in ways you never imagined.
I cannot recommend it highly enough. One of the best weeks of my life and one of the best gifts I've ever given myself.

If that's you, it it will be one of the most profound experiences of your life. Just keep in mind that we keep our groups small and spaces are very limited. If you're feeling like it may be your right time, check out the details and then join the waitlist.
FAQs
| I’m not good at meditating. Will the program work for me? |
We've had hundreds of people successfully do the VysionQuest who had no prior meditation experience, or feel like they struggle with meditation.
That just doesn't matter.
That's part of the power of the program... how it takes you to deep stillness and lets you hear the quiet voice of your Inner Knowing.
All you have to do is show up, follow the steps, and trust the process!
| I’m not good at writing. Will the program work for me? |
If you think you're not good at writing, you've probably got some leftover trauma from school! At the beginning of the VysionQuest we remind you that THIS IS NOT SCHOOL! This is actually the opposite of school! We will undo many of the things that schooling did to you. After a few Silent Sunrise Sessions, as you see your inner wisdom pour out onto the page, you may even fall in love with this kind of writing.
| I've never done yoga before. Is the program right for me? |
This is a common concern, and the answer is YES. All our yoga classes are suitable for beginners. No matter how stiff you are! Our Retreats are not "yoga retreats" but yoga is one of the tools we use to help you relax and reconnect with your guide inside. Yoga has been a key part of the VysionQuest Retreats since the beginning. Our Retreats are a great way to get some friendly instruction and experience with yoga - and maybe even kickstart a new habit that will help you turn back the clock.
| I've never done a self development program before. Is this program right for me? |
Well, only you will know if VysionQuest is right for you.
But it was developed to help people at any level of personal or professional development find clarity and inspiration for the next phase of life.
Whether you're just out of college or the owner of a million dollar company - Whether you've done several self or professional development programs or nothing at all - Whether you consider yourself to be super spiritual not...
VysionQuest is skillfully designed to meet you exactly where you're at, to open your mind to what is possible, or remind you of who you are and what you're really here to do.
| I’ve done a lot of spiritual and personal development work over the years. What is so different about VysionQuest? How can it help me? |
We've helped people from all walks of life find greater purpose and fulfillment through the VysionQuest.
From actors and celebrities to small business owners and large business owners to accountants and dancers and coaches and yogis, DJs, chefs, marketing execs....
The bottom line is - if you're open and ready for it, you will find what you're looking for.
What makes VysionQuest different is the content, the questions, and especially the SEQUENCE they are presented in.
Each writing exercise poses a different question to help you look at your deepest desires, hopes, dreams -- and anything holding you back that you might be unaware of -- skillfully placed in a particular order that supports you to open up to different aspects of yourself, deeper and deeper as the program progresses.
That's why it's a process. You can't get to these inner answers from a book or a TED Talk or just journaling. This is a deep process that carefully uncovers the essence of YOU.
No one is telling you what to think or feel. The questions are designed for YOU TO BE THE CAPTAIN of this ship and reveal what's really inside your subconscious mind through WRITING, putting PEN TO PAPER, and asking you questions you otherwise probably would never ask yourself, and therefore never really know about yourself.

Reviews
I don't think I'll ever be able to talk about the VysionQuest in a way that will do it justice! The best thing is to read reviews from our participants and hear what they experienced. Maybe it's something you'd like to experience too.
