"The clearest thing about my vision quest is that it was very fully mine. Yet this happened only because it was also Pip's. Her close attention to each one of us from the moment of first contact was what enabled me to take on the adventure with my whole heart. In her I met a wild and generous spirit who showed us how to share and how to be separate, how to meet and how to part. Unforgettable!"
Elspeth Owen, Cambridge, UK
"Pippa Bondy led us through the whole experience with love and care and a deep understanding of the uniqueness of each of us. We had a feeling of being guided with compassion and much knowledge. So even when remaining alone, separate and with no food in the mountain we never felt abandoned. When we were to tell our individual stories after coming down from the mountain her way of helping us interpret every pain and shortcoming and transforming them into challenges met and overcome touched us all deeply. We recommend her Vision Fast Quest to those we love most."
Ole and Helle, Denmark
"From the moment I committed to doing the Vision Quest, I felt Pippa's unwavering support and honouring of the journey I had begun. In a very clear and intuitive way, she created the space within our group for me to make a deep transition from one stage of my life to the next. She embodies the essential qualities of a midwife: compassionate, honest, able to listen and see deeply, a fearless guide between worlds. In the magical mountains of Snowdonia, this ancient ceremony comes alive and brings much-needed healing and understanding to life changes in our modern culture."

"I arrived at a place of knowing within myself which was both new and extremely old at the same time."
Joanna Shipley, Oxford, UK
"I would like to take a moment to say thanks for all of the wonderful support that you gave in the lead up to, during and after my Vision Quest. Your facilitation and preparation for the quest made a very safe container for me to explore something completely new within the context of my inner journey. There have been many rich insights that I've taken from my time with you and on the mountain and every day since more has been unfolding. I will recommend the practice of Vision Quest to my friends on this path and have the utmost confidence in recommending that they do this through you."

"The Teachings, Healings & Wisdoms I received from participating in a Vision Quest guided by Pippa have been to vast to put into words. I've been given the opportunity to take Possession of my Life & walk closer to my Soul."
Michael Blake, Wales, UK
"Pippa's introduction to The Way of Council created something beautiful over a weekend that will be with me for ever. With warmth, humour and compassion a safe and trusting space was created where people could speak from the heart. It was a wonderful personal journey and also left me with new approaches that I could immediately put into practice in my facilitation and consultancy work."
Steve Onyett, Bristol, UK
"Pippa's mindful attention and support in preparing us practically, emotionally and spiritually for our time 'on the mountain' enabled me to wholeheartedly engage with the spirit of the Quest. Her compassion and wisdom, born through direct experience, shinned in her capacity for 'deep listening', directness of communication, humour, and ability to provide safe boundaries. On our return from 'the mountain', I was deeply touched by Pippa's capacity to reflect back to each one of us what the lessons and blessings of our time had been. I felt deeply affirmed by the whole process from which I continue to bear gifts."

"Since the dream council I've stepped in to a new place in my life. Am so much more accepting of me and my peculiar brand of insanity...of my family insanity...more accepting of my vulnerability.. of my tiny part of the great vastness..of my importance in the greater. Have a sense of now being able to leave the early trauma, and move on to deeper work..to reclaim my power...big stuff, and it is still working through me."
Tom Creaven. Ireland
"This great experience of the Vision Quest ceremony ... Step by step i go from a blank space into a certain concentration, where things slow down and shows in an honest atmosphere; I clearly understand i want to get clear on my stuff, I understand I need the council circle. I get what I give, I understand it is important to speak from my heart. I'm meeting nature. The wild nature of the natural world. My nature, the people in the council circle's nature, I see the mirror of my life reflected in what is present everywhere; in my life, in me and the others, all in the wonderful Welsh landscape. Everything is a mirror. I have worked with Pippa as her assistant a few times now; and have experienced this whole process - of care and deep insight into the vision quest ceremony and her huge experience that she so generous gives from. The vision quest is such an old and deep thing, I can not separate Pippa from this. It just feels so right."
Peder Skytte. Denmark
