The Book of the Vision Quest

Steven Foster with Meredith Little

This seminal work is movingly rendered and for those who long for renewal and personal transformation. It is a celebration of life and a marvelous testament to the ability of all people to take charge of their lives, heal themselves, and grow. Originally published in 1981, Simon & Schuster publishers continue to make it available, now 25 years later.

Steven Foster recounts his and Meredith’s experiences guiding contemporary seekers. He re-creates an ancient rite of passage – that of “dying,” “passing through,” and “being reborn” – known as a vision quest. It is a sacred ceremony that culminates in a three-day, three-night fast, alone, in a place of natural power. Blending numerous heritages, wisdoms, and teachings, the vision quest is a mystical, paractical, and intensely personal journey of self-knowledge.

“Steven and Meredith are true modern-day visionaries.” – Sun Bear, founder of The Bear Tribe

“A book of beauty, substance, spirit, and practicality. The story of the vision quest is a radiant light all people can experience and enjoy.” - Hyemeyohsts Storm, author of Seven Arrows
