The Spirit of The Wind: Vision Quest in the Central Australian Desert | Solocast

This is the story of my Personal Pilgrimage and Vision Quest in the Central Australian Desert.

For several days and nights I fasted in a small circle, in solitude, on top of sandy red desert dunes. The desert is harsh and my Quest was gruelling. Fierce winds whipped my tarp into a frenzy, the scorching sun was relentless, and the incessant attack of flies was next level. The days were unbearably long, and the nights ticked over slow as slow.

Despite the sleep deprivation and extreme conditions, the desert landscape is punctuated by a beauty beyond words. Rainbow bee-eaters darted between trees. Dawn and dusk brought a radiant palette of pastel colours. Wind gave ancient voice to the needle-like foliage of desert oak. Shooting stars careened across vast night sky. The veil of perception thinned, giving rise to mystical encounters with desert spirits.

You can expect to hear about all of this, including some of the challenges I faced, some of the themes such as grief and worthiness that I was presented with, some of the big questions that I was tussling with and got some clarity on, the importance of mystical encounters with the divine, the various emanations and qualities of the desert, my developing relationship with the wind, some insight and wisdom for high-level creatives, and a whole lot more.

Enjoy the ride.
