Rite of Passage

NLP Master Coach - Teacher - Medicine Journey
The essence of the human soul cannot be separated from the wildness of nature.
That is why the most effective path to soul is one that is nature based.

We are all destined for at least one common moment.
One is when everything we know and believe is becomes nothing to us but simple dust, compared to a vision of what life really is that we are standing too close to see.
It's at that moment that we have a choice:
Go back to "the way it is", or go forward and discover all that we are and are meant to become, even if it has to cost us our life in order to find it - a complete stepping off into the Void of unknowing and uncertainty, with no guarantees of ever coming back.
And in that moment that a new destiny begins - a Rite-of-Passage into surrendering all we know in order to get intimately closer to one thing - learning what real eternity is and what we will have to leave behind in order to discover what our place is within it, what our true design and purpose really is and the Legacy we came to give in this lifetime.

Michael Chudzik heard his first call to Mount Shasta for a solo 7-day vision quest in a deep January winter, 2009.
A visionary shift was taking place in his life - and at that time, a veteran of the vision quest through Native teachers, lifelong wilderness trekker, 30-day wilderness survival trained, NLP Master Coach and psychic hypnotherapist - he knew there was no saying "No", regardless of the time of year it was if this was what the Void wanted to keep the shift going,
From that time and the past 15 years, Michael has had a strong and loving heart-connection with Mount Shasta and the spirits of the ancestors who lived here for over 5,000 years, as well as good friends today with many members of the 5 Nations of the who are the ancestor's and the Mountain's First People.
Nature-Based Coaching and Rite-of-Passage are to Michael the most important path of bringing human beings home the the remembrance that we are first of all ancient souls meant to come to Earth and share our gifts to the expansion of the great Creation.
Michael has been a vision-quest and rite-of-passage guide, as well as ceremonial adjunct to South American, First American and other retreat leaders visiting Mount Shasta, Oregon Cascades and Arizona wilderness places since 2007.
