Ben Greenfield explains the difference between a vision quest and a rite of passage. A vision quest is a personal spiritual journey to gain insight, while a rite of passage marks a transition from one life stage to another within a community or culture.
Hey, this is Ben Greenfield. I thought you'd like this little clip of my latest podcast. So what's the difference between a vision quest and rite of passage?
So a rite of passage, again, we defined as an initiation that's going to take us from one life phase to another. And a vision quest can be used as part of a rite of passage. So, you know, for the young person or the not so young person who's ready to really go through rite of passage and claim their place. And in the adult community, a vision quest is a part of that. You know, I mean, I've done a half dozen vision quests in my life. Some of those, well, one was a rite of passage. The other five were simply times when I was not feeling connected to my life's work and I was needing a refresher. Like, hey, why am I here? What's the current expression of why I'm here?
