Wilderness Quest Guide Path
Description
The Quest is the ultimate Nature-Connected transformational experience. There is nothing that can replace its ancient, mythical, pan-cultural power. It touches each quester differently. As a guide, you learn to collaborate with that power and set your participants up for direct contact with it. Your job is to listen.
In fact, “the listening” starts now. People often begin to to feel The Call to Quest far before their trip begins, and even before they make the commitment to Quest. Once that connection is made, their Severance begins; which means it’s time for the guides to get to work. Guides put several hours into meeting and working with potential questers, listening and helping them decide if they are ready to answer The Call. Do you see yourself there, too? Becoming a Quest Guide will take your coaching skills beyond anything we can teach you in the NCC program.
