Hanbleceya (Vision Quest)

September 21–27, 2026
Paonia, Colorado

Guided by Adam Yellow Bird DeArmon & Aldo Curiquinga

The Hanbleceya, often translated as "Crying for a Vision," is one of the most sacred rites of passage within many Indigenous traditions. It is a profound journey of prayer, solitude, fasting, and deep communion with Creator and the natural world.

This seven-day ceremonial gathering offers participants an opportunity to step away from the distractions of daily life and enter a sacred space of reflection, humility, and transformation. Guided with reverence for traditional teachings, the Vision Quest invites each individual to listen deeply for the wisdom, purpose, and guidance that emerges through prayer and direct relationship with the Earth.

Throughout the gathering, participants will be supported through ceremony, preparation, teachings, and community. The experience is designed to honor the integrity of this sacred tradition while providing a respectful and supportive environment for those who feel genuinely called to this path.

Whether you are seeking clarity, spiritual renewal, healing, or a deeper understanding of your life's purpose, the Hanbleceya offers an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, your ancestors, and the living presence of Creator.
