Robert@TheSeventhQuest.com

Robert is a skilled vision quest guide, whose ability comes from a lifetime of authentic inner journeying, along with extensive training and practical experience in moving safely in the wilderness. The wisdom he has gained allows him to create a safe, sacred space supporting profound transformation for individuals, respectful of their unique personal paths and pace of growth.

Spiritually, Robert began his path at age 16, when he began the practice of Transcendental Meditation. He lived and studied at the heart of a prominent spiritual community for many years, where he immersed himself in deep silence and examined the fundamental principles of nature and human growth through the study of the Science of Creative Intelligence.

His wilderness experience includes graduation from the School of Lost Borders and membership in the Wilderness Guides Council. Robert is an NOLS Wilderness First Responder (National Outdoor Leadership School) and a Leave No Trace Trainer. A former Eagle Scout and Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow, he is an avid scuba diver and an adventurous world traveler. He has participated in an annual vision quest since 1996.

Robert has been successful in the corporate world for over 30 years and is a father of a daughter in her twenties. He also has explored authentic relationship building through the Mankind Project’s New Warrior Training and the Source School of Tantra, of which he became an advanced instructor.

A compassionate and gifted communicator, Robert approaches people with deep respect and intuitive wisdom. As a vision quest guide, he brings a deep love of nature, an open heart, and a healthy dose of humor into this transformational work.
