With Great Spirit, we bring you the 17th Steemit Vision Quest ( #svq ). With a new theme each week, we focus our intentions, unify our actions, share our findings, and celebrate the gems. In this way, we grow together.

The traditional Vision Quest is a dedicated search for inspiration. Here, we look inward, in order to assess the “higher self,” bringing this inner intelligence to the surface. For some, clarity comes in the form of a discovery–an image or an idea–that is meaningful. Next, we interpret our visions creatively, in a way that is sharable, so others may appreciate them. Ultimately, we inspire each other.

Steemit Vision Quest - Week 17: May 21-27

The Calling

Dear Dream Catcher, capture your paradise, bringing heaven here and now. Dear Trailblazer, pursue your purpose, taking the journey led by the heart. Dear Storyteller, create and express your new narrative. Dear Designer, bring your passions into new creations that go beyond function and stir the emotions. Dear Symphony Conductor, assemble your various instruments together to sing in harmony. Dear Player, elevate life with your lightness that lifts others up. Dear Artrepreneur, present your gifts that bring value into the world. Dear Altruist, demonstrate your care for the wellbeing of others.

The Continuation

Steemit Vision Quest is stellar, with a blend of surreal, ultra-real, and superconscious visions. You can see this in the highlights from previous weeks: “The Seed,” “Star Medicine,” “Howllelujah,” “Eleven-Eleven,” “Twin Flame,” “The Road,” “Life After Life,” “Lucky,” “Queen of the Forest, “Desert Wilderness,” “Bliss In Stillness,” “Angels Among Us,” “Night Flight,” and “Sky Meets Sea.” We greatly look forward to new visions in Week 17, with the theme: “One Love,” followed by Week 18, when the theme will be: “The Dance.”

SVQ is created by @cabelindsay, and co-facilitated by @eaglespirit, @rensoul17, and @girlbeforemirror. On behalf of our team, we'd like to thank each of the participants and their supporters. We trust that when we write or draw, we actually think, feel, and materialize these thoughts and emotions. We trust that seeing is believing, and believing is achieving, and so we look forward to a brilliant and beautiful future.

Greetings,
Thank you for stopping by to read my blog. I’m a First Nation member of the Hopi & Apache Native American tribes, Medicine Woman in training, first time blogger since November 2017, right here on Steemit, paralegal, researcher, and writer based in the Mountains of Colorado, USA. I work closely with fellow planktons and minnows in a few groups by helping them adjust to Steemit and curate quality content. I’m especially interested in finding others who love natural medicine originating from ancient practices, gold and silver, energy work, and the Spirit World. If that’s you, please say hello!
See you soon, @eaglespirit
