France 2010

Vercors Natural Park

  • 2010_09 - 6 days

  • We called this a Vision Quest. My life had changed by 'peak experiences' in this hidden mountain world 10 years earlier, after I was forced to continue a hike for a week with a hurt knee. A mixture of pain and extacy, in which nature and wildlife played a major role. This eventually lead me to a lifestyle called 'druidry', where I met Ingeborg. And I wanted to show her this special place. It was a hard hike up to the high plains, and there my old stories started to repeat themselves. I met the same animals in the same places and we followed our trail to a specific mountain top. We reached the peak after 3 days, and it also took us 3 days to return. And on that mountain top the visions came.
