Mariah's

A vision quest is a very personal retreat. Native Americans participate in this journey to become closer to God. The person goes off into the woods and makes a ten foot circle of stones and spends their time in this circle. He or she spends three to four days fasting and praying. Materialistic things can not be brought. Only water and something to sleep on is aloud. The purpose of this quest is to get a vision from God. Sometimes a vision is not always realized until a few years later. This journey also makes you realize how strong you really are after succeeding this.Questions: What is an Inipi ceremony? Is there a significance of the ten foot circle?
