The VysionQuest is like no process I've been involved with. Rick takes you on a guided tour of your own life, exploring your past, appreciating the present, and building the future. The immersion in the environment, routines, and flow of the retreat allows you to open yourself up to new ideas, experiences and insights into what you want.
After VysionQuest I have gained a much greater clarity in life. I now know what my purpose is on the this Earth. I have an amazing roadmap to build the most fulfilling future I can imagine. I have a deeper sense of myself. I have greater love and gratitude for my wife and children. I have a higher ambition.
VysionQuest is for anyone who wants to find the answer to the question, "What do I want?"
Show the courage to make a big decision. Commit to yourself. You won't regret it.
Totally recommend VysionQuest. Such an uplifting experience.
VysionQuest is an immersive experience unlike any other. By disconnecting from the noise of life and surrounding myself with other people who were here to learn and grow I was able to go deeper than I ever have before. I was able to gain much needed clarity. Hand on heart I can honestly say I know what's most important in life. It truly is not hard to be happy.
I feel so much lighter now. What a life changing experience. I feel so grateful that I was able to spend this week with these f*cking beautiful people. I know myself better than I ever have. There were tears, there was anger, there was frustration, there was happiness and joy. But beneath all of it I was able to discover my authentic true self, and it feels f*cking amazing to leave here knowing what I need to do to be happier, more fulfilled, and free.
VysionQuest is for anyone who wants more from life. If you feel like you're doing all of the right things, but have an underlying feeling of frustration, or maybe you feel a little lost with what to do next, then this is for you. They say money can't buy happiness yet here I am leaving happier than I've ever been. If you're on the fence, just do it. You won't regret it.
And through the process I found myself again, and it changed my life, and so many incredible things happened after.
I came a 2nd time because I have a new job that is huge and I was finding myself stressed out and unclear and not my best self. So I had a break and came back to find clarity and a deeper sense of my purpose. I wanted to be really clear on who I am and who I want to be in the world and what I want to do in the world and for the world.
I wanted to be so grounded in that purpose that nothing could throw me off. And you know what.... it worked.
I learned in an even deeper way who I am and what I want and what my purpose is. The writing exercises helped to bring clarity and helped me to release my fear that tends to hold me back from my life. It helped me to move myself and my fear out of the way to reveal the light that illuminates from within.
Rick is an example of someone truly living their purpose and changing lives by doing that. He is inspiring, he is a guide, he assists you to find the answers on your own and he creates a space for transformation, growth, laughter, tears, healing, love and finding your soul and purpose.
I feel clear, I feel inspired, I feel grounded, and I feel excited about the future. Life is short and I want to live my BEST LIFE EVER. I want everyone in the world to feel how I feel.
If you are feeling lost or sad or stuck or uninspired or just want to get more out of this amazing one life that we have, then do the VysionQuest. IT. WILL. CHANGE. YOUR. LIFE.

Clarity, belief in myself, grateful for the journey and the co-creating... it was working. I returned to the VisionQuest retreat three years later, in love and in an incredibly fulfilling relationship, healthy, having just trekked the Himalayas, taught a series of yoga workshops, created my own retreat, and connected with so many inspiring, colorful friends and communities.
Gandhi's famous words, "My life is my message..." Rick lives and breathes and inspires this idea. His life is his message. With so much love and appreciation, and a beaming smile and humble heart, I can say that with the guidance of Rick's VysionQuest, mine is too.
VysionQuest is a very deep process into your inner being.
Now having done it, I feel very clear and alive, full of love and energy.
VysionQuest is for anybody with an open mind who is wanting to find out who they really are and is willing to dive deep in to yourself to find out your true purpose.
If you're happy within yourself and your life is balanced, that's great! But if you feel like there is more burning inside you, VysionQuest is the place to get those answers.
Over 8 amazing days in Bali, we worked through a series of exercises and discussions, surfed, meditated, did yoga, and ate fantastic food. VysionQuest taught me how to get in touch with myself, and I reconnected with what I'm passionate about and what inspires me. It made me grateful for the wonderful people I have in my life, my own achievements, and strengthened my self-belief. Most importantly, it gave me a framework that connects my deepest desires with my dreams.
The VysionQuest process has empowered me to make those hard life decisions and live my dreams. I don't usually like group work, but Rick's skillful facilitation and deep insights made it rewarding and fun! Through this shared experience I have made some really important new friends.
If you're stuck in life, afraid to make difficult decisions, or are at a crossroads, I have no doubt that VysionQuest will help you reconnect with what's important to you, and you'll be inspired to take action on living your dreams now with courage and clarity of purpose. Don't bumble through life without a vision – ride the wave and get clear with VysionQuest.
I came on this retreat hoping to get some insight and clarity into the next phase of my life and what I'm walking away with is a blueprint of what that looks like not only in my professional life but how I'm going to live my life in all aspects for many years to come.
Not only is the VysionQuest process carefully thought out and structured but Rick's innate ability to guide and hold space for each of us to find our voice is truly profound. I feel privileged to have been able to learn from and work with such a special soul.
Thank you, Rick, for allowing me to hear my inner voice so clearly — I'm certain it would have taken me a very, very long time on my own (if at all :) !
The difference about VysionQuest is that you have a mentor in Rick who really reaches to areas in your mind and soul that have been closed off.
Now I feel very refreshed and focused. I feel like I can be more open to my feelings and future happiness.
I have gained clarity on who I want to be and where I want to go. And most importantly, I've gained clarity on the father and partner I desire to be and will become.
My workbook is my future life's work and adventures. It will guide me to be a better human being. A more understanding, calm and supportive partner and father. The workbook will be my action and proof that I can make my dreams come alive. I will succeed to make this a reality. This book will keep me focused and driven.
VysionQuest would be good for anyone who is struggling with family life. If you're working too much and not giving time back to your children or partner. If you're lost or unhappy, or struggling to enjoy the special moments, struggling to live in the present.
If someone is considering signing up for VysionQuest, I would advise: Sign on the dotted line! You're already considering it and you must be needing guidance in your life. This is the most magical journey you can imagine.
For me I have alignment going forward and a vision of who I want to be.
I had been feeling a void in real purpose for several years, particularly in relation to what I am on this planet to do and what will truly make me happy. I could feel a strong sense of struggle, predominantly in my professional life, but could also sense it was affecting my family in a negative way. I felt worried when I looked in my children's eyes that they would not remember me for who I truly am and that they would harbor some resentment to me because of the lack of physical time I spend with them.
I could also sense that there was a growing disconnect between myself and my wife for my uncertainty in which way to move forward with our life. My view was firmly fixed on monetary gain to the sacrifice of what is the love of my life; my family. In saying that, my intentions were fully fixed on providing what I thought would be the best life for us all.
The spark was lit by my wife, who knew I needed a break. I had received a holiday gift from her for my 40th to take a week off to do whatever I wanted (within reason!) It had an expiration date (!) to force me to use it and I still didn't. I roll into my birthday this year and after a tough 8 months of work, since returning from our year of family travel, I knew it was time for a break. I knew fishing wasn't going to be it.
Shan had heard of vision quests from a recent retreat she had attended and encouraged me to attend. I liked the concept, but didn't want to spend my holiday in the bush somewhere on my own for 4 days. It didn't feel right for me. So, I started to Google for other types of vision quests...ones that would give me a break, that would give me clarity or vision, but would also allow me to have some fun. When I found Rick's VQ, it immediately gelled with me with the surfing connection. And so after plucking up a serious amount of courage, I signed up. This took alot for me as I'm not wired well in an emotional sense. Never been on a wellness retreat before and never spent a week with 7 other people who I had never met before.
The experience for me was an emotional roller coaster with Rick at the helm guiding us through the ups and downs with kindness and compassion.
I made friends that are now closer to me than a lot of my extended family and never though that could be possible in such a relatively short space of time. These friends I'm so grateful for will be a rock for me to refer to should my path ever stray from the one I know I need to take.
I already have several friends and family that I intend on encouraging to get along to Rick's VQ and do themselves and the rest of the world a favor. Imagine if we all knew what we were here to do and understood how it was supposed to be. I now have the clarity and the courage to significantly change my life and the lives of others. I won't be backwards in coming forward to try and get others on the same path. Love and gratitude.
I don't know how to explain how I feel in words.... Rick, I wish you were in arm's reach so I could hug my happiness into you.
Is this real? Is life really this fucking awesome?! I'm filled with so much joy, contentment....and am well on my way to self awareness. I'm happy. I'm living life. I feel so alive.
Here I am, sitting in my new loft (Dream #1: "Have my own loft") in Austin, TX (Dream #2: "Move somewhere warmer") and I am so damn grateful for each and every day I wake up. The things I get to do, the beauty I get to see, the people I get to have in my life....life is incredible.
You didn't only help me through a tough time.....I've never felt this happy and content in my life. I am proud of the woman I am today. :)
What you did for me....what you gave me....the hope and inspiration manifested through your energy, love, and guidance.....it is priceless.
I continue to work daily towards my inspirations, goals, desires. I continue to focus on what makes me feel whole and centered. When I flounder ... I read my workbook. But nowadays, when I flounder....I stop beating myself up and realize I'm just frothing. :)
Learning that I have control of MY life, and yet, I have no control OVER life has been the most crucial piece of understanding I've ever gained.
Thank you. Keep touching people and making the world a more serene place.
... and - Life, no limits; so easy to forget in mainstream culture. Not able to forget now. The spark is alive, the spark lives on, the spark of VysionQuest, a fire in the depths of the soul. Bring joy, be joy, spread joy.
I've never done any sort of self development retreat and had no expectations of what would or wouldn't happen. I only had the praise and guidance of prior participants to go on.
Having completed the VysionQuest with a bunch of legends, the "Table of Legends!!", a group of guys mostly over 50 who came together through Reliable Education. I feel great, I've found my "mojo", my purpose, and have conquered 2 major fears!! :)
Rick, you should be very proud of what you have, have done, and are doing. It is a very special person that can drag out so many thoughts, demons, challenges, issues, blockages, etc... from so many people with just a few questions — what a gift.
Thank you brother, you are made of pure light and are part of my family now. All the very best.
But what I really learnt was that it's impossible to build an empire if the groundwork is unstable. I discovered that it was my own internal struggles that were holding me back from my true potential. Rick gave me the tools to fix that and I'm leaving the retreat energised, excited and ready to carry out my purpose with a bang.
He helped me connect, reach, dream and believe in everything I was born to be. He switched on the light in my soul and showed me all the treasures I already had inside that were impossible to see in the dark.
The process was pretty easy and fun but extremely clever. The modules walk you through simple exercises which eventually show you exactly what you want from life. It's like working on a tapestry square by square and then taking a step back and realising you've created a beautiful piece of art.
He helped me sort through the endless ideas and desires that run through my head so I could identify the ones that truly mean the most to me. Once you know what's really important to you the next step is easy – go and get it!
What I didn't expect were the connections I would make with the other participants sharing the journey. From the very beginning Rick helped us remove our protective outer personalities and allow us to be our true selves. Seeing other people share their true desires and vulnerabilities gave you an insight into their soul and created bonds that I'm sure will last a lifetime.
The future is bright!
I was lost in my life and lost in my marriage and wanted to find direction and fulfillment.
I was nervous and excited about attending the retreat but brave enough to take the first steps to my new life.
The VysionQuest process is comfortable and allows you to find the answers without feeling overwhelmed.
It flows naturally and easily. As the days go on it's incredible what you discover about yourself.
After completing it I feel excited and brave.
I am so ready to leap into my next chapter and will continue to remember to always choose love over fear.
I have gained knowledge, self worth and forgiveness to myself. I know now that it's normal to make mistakes and it's okay.
My workbook will follow me for years to come and will be a fabulous reference to check back on just to make sure I'm on the right track to be fulfilling my dreams and being true to my purpose.
This program would be absolutely perfect for anyone who is at a crossroads in their life or who knows that there is more out there.
There is so much more to life! Go on, try it! You have absolutely nothing to lose.
Thank you, Rick.
I can't wait to share my success stories with you :)
I heard great things about VysionQuest and I had to find clarity, find purpose, find me. I could have comfortably done this online, living in my comfortable space while trying to find me... Nah... That's impossible because life can't be changed while you still live in the same place. Immersion for five days in a retreat with like-minded people on a similar journey is the only way to sort out my life and find clarity.
VysionQuest was an incredible journey into my inner feelings, my soul, my purpose. Into me. It's raw, it's emotional, it's challenging. To share this journey with beautiful people all on a similar mission was way outside my comfort zone but so rewarding having completed my VysionQuest.
I now know my purpose in life. I now know myself and I am super excited for what follows when I return to my "normality". Nothing will be the same. Everything will change and the years ahead will be filled with energy and excitement.
Since I've been here I've felt more excited to get on with life, finish the process I started and to go after the big dream of sailing around the world, happy me, focus on my children, and do what I was put on this Earth for - teaching. It's what makes me most happy.
I look forward to the journey ahead. Life is good.
My soul has been craving this sort of thing forever, and it has really helped me gain some clarity and direction in working towards my life's purpose and fulfilling my hopes and dreams.
I am at a crossroads in my career life, working in an industry and job that no longer serves me. VysionQuest has allowed me to dream big and get clear on what is important to me in life while giving me a map to get out and go hard for what truly matters.
It was an absolute honour to spend the week working alongside such a remarkable group of like minded individuals. I saw miracles happen this week, I saw healing and people's lights turn back on, ready to shine bright out into the world.
Thank you Rick and the team at VysionQuest for transforming people's lives and helping co-create positive change in this world.
The VQ process was like nothing I had ever experienced before. It first involved unpacking my life, working out what I value in life, what brings me joy, excitement and fulfillment and importantly what I love about being me.
It involved a journey with an amazing bunch of supporting, giving and talented humans all on different journeys, sharing their stories and experiences with emotion and passion. Being able to learn off others' life experiences added so much to my journey - I did not feel alone but rather super connected. The setting, daily yoga and meditations, the amazing food that nurtured us all - the sense of belonging I had in such a warm, inclusive and trusting environment. The tears felt good!
After I feel so mindful now - the self doubt and fear I brought with me has been replaced by an overpowering sense of clarity with who I am as a person, my place in the world and the journey I am on to use my talents to achieve my life purpose.
My workbook is everything - it is a lifetime of positive, negative and inspirational thoughts of who I am. It provides me with clarity, sense of purpose, direction and it is all me - this is my vision of who I am in this world. The workbook is my human GPS.
If you are thinking of coming to the course I would not hesitate to call Rick and have a chat. That chat for me was a chance to unpack where I was at and led me to take this mind-changing journey. You never know until you step out of your comfort zone. I say take that leap of faith. You have nothing to lose.
Rick provides a full emotional experience where you really go deep, have fun, and learn about what you truly can do and be. Through the experiences of learning to surf, calming meditation, yoga, and workshopping in small supportive groups you find your inner peace and life purpose.
If you're thinking about coming I would tell you to just take a leap of faith. Trust in the process and do it. You will find the most amazing people, have an awesome experience, and feel your life's purpose. It's a life changer.
VysionQuest is different to other retreats I've experienced. It's a total immersion with yourself and other beautiful souls on their life's journey. The process allows you to trust in your own vulnerability in a loving and supportive way.
Now after finishing it I feel free, excited and grateful to Rick and team and the VysionQuest teachings. My workbook is like my own sacred bible to my soul and I will treasure it, reread it many times and let it guide me forward on my chosen paths.
If you're interested in VysionQuest, don't be afraid and don't put off coming to the retreat. Yes it's a bit scary at first and we were all totally different but let Rick guide you to find your own inner light and true life's purpose. You won't regret it.
This course is for everyone! You will discover aspects of yourself that you never knew needed to be uncovered. You go through a process of revealing your core essence and coming out a more authentic you.
The love, bonds made and experiences shared within this incredible group has filled my heart beyond words.
How this course is structured and set out is one of a kind. You will not only get clearer on your life's purpose and discover deep truths about yourself, but you will come away with more balance, peace, stillness and presence.
A true gift. Thank you, Rick.
I did the VysionQuest because my life has been turned upside down ever since the love of my life passed away 10 months ago. I was feeling lost and so desperately uncertain of my purpose in this world and the direction I am supposed to take now that everything I have been building and working towards for the last 5 years is gone. I needed help getting back to myself.
What is so unique about VysionQuest is the comprehensive nature of this retreat. The writing exercises in the most beautiful setting force you to sit with yourself and WHO you are and WHAT you want out of this life. The philosophical and practical approach to our life purpose was both raw and refreshing.
This is the first time in 10 years that I have been able to be completely honest about my fears, desires, achievements, inspirations, my natural-born characteristics. This was the first time I was able to express the type of life and lifestyle I want without feeling judged or ashamed. I have always associated success with money and have been trying to find a way to change my definition of success and embrace my true self and my intrinsic gifts.
The surfing and the snorkeling really helped me appreciate LIFE and the beautiful world we live in. What a gift to be able to witness this natural beauty. How lucky are we to have this life!?
I absolutely loved bonding with the other Vysionaries. The vulnerability and trust created in such a short amount of time through doing the modules/experiences/shares as well as during meals, free time and activities were absolutely priceless and memorable. I consider these people lifelong friends.
For the first time I feel confident that I can be successful and feel fulfilled being my authentic self. I know the money will come as long as I am doing things in line with my purpose and as long as I keep going! I now have a "fuck it" attitude because I know I will die one day and I want to do and see as much as I can in this one special life I have been given. As long as I am being true to myself I feel like the things I want will come to me. I know that just because one path may not feel right, I can take a step back, check in with myself, and know that there are other paths I can take. Just keep going.
VysionQuest would be good for anyone questioning their purpose in this life or feeling unfulfilled with whatever they are doing. This would be good for anyone who feels that they are just going through the motions or not tapping into their true potential. Anyone who feels "stuck" in general. You will get a deep look at yourself in the best way possible. This week will reveal emotions, struggles, and challenges from your past and simultaneously reveal your true desires and vision for your life. A vision that is in line with YOU - not your family, not your culture, and not your own false expectations of what you think your life should look like.
Rick Cowley's VysionQuest Retreat was my birthday prezzie to myself this year and one of the best ever!
Amazing location, amazing company, amazing self-inquiry and tools to co-create the life of your dreams/ turn your dreams into reality.
I wanted to tell you that you're amazing Rick, and so is VysionQuest!!
So awesome what you've created there, so moving how much you care about people reaching their full potential and living life to the fullest... THANK YOU for re-minding us and having the courage to show up the way you do...!!
My life has shifted soo much in the last weeks....... :)
You're definitely a big earth angel light worker on this planet xoxox
What's different about VysionQuest is an energy or vibration or flow. Having never been on anything like this before I was a bit apprehensive. Is it gonna be culty churchy hippy? Something in the way Rick holds space is stunning, allowing participants to open, grow, flow, fall, lift, cry, laugh, but ultimately to empower themselves onto a path that's always been there inside.
Now at the end I'm still me but a better version heading in the right direction, flowing with my own life purpose. I have my life manual now - a guide with flesh and bones to keep me on track and the best thing - I wrote it!
If you're thinking of coming, get off the fence, choose the side of YOU - just f*cking DO IT.
Thank you Rick and team <3
You spend one extraordinary week on a paradise island surrounded by the sound of the waves. You share your experience with awesome people. You start to become truly yourself as you do each exercise.
The process is just magic.
The combination of yoga, meditation, and the exercises is life changing. I gained more clarity than I ever expected.
Go with the flow, let go, and trust the process.
It's great to get promotions, earn a big salary, have some leadership control, but shit that does not buy happiness. Well, not for me anyway. In a nutshell I actually hated my life and I really didn't love or truly respect myself or my body.
After leaving my job and creating space in my life, looking back, I truly believe the universe did lead me to Rick.
The questions I had been asking myself about my life are so much clearer. I have an amazing inner peace with myself. I'm excited about the future, I'm more ready than ever to fulfill my dreams and to live my life's purpose.
Rick, what you have created is magical. You will forever be an inspiration in my life and have a special place in my heart until my last day on Earth. I will be at peace because I made every day count. :) xx
I came in so unsure but was completely open to the experience. I learned that I am not alone in this journey of life and it's so important to connect with others at a deeper level - regularly. I also happened to get enormous clarity on what I want out of this lifetime personally and in business.
I can't wait to get going on my five year plan and achieve all my dreams which are now aligned with my life's purpose. Rick and his staff/team have provided such a beautiful, safe and soul nurturing experience. I will recommend this experience to my family and friends without hesitation. It will change your life.
I found I was living a life of so much sadness, despite the opportunities life had offered me. I cried a lot, I sighed a lot. I could find no comfort or joy. I had spent a lifetime navigating one disaster after another. I had lost or maybe even forgotten my purpose, my why, or even my power to believe anything else was possible was invisible.
My husband came to Bali on VysionQuest in October 2018 with a group of 5 men who became true mates. The plan was always that we would both attend VQ (though separately).
The decision came for me that I had to do SOMETHING. Coversations were had. Dates were set. Challenge accepted!
From a journey to Bali with a heavy heart and a teaspoon of optimism, to a week of honest soul searching, my heart is lighter, my mind is clearer. The energy and focus I thought was lost has a candle under it. Anything is possible.
It doesn't matter if you think you are on the right track or trying to get back on track, the VQ experience provides a life altering opportunity.
This week has given me the space, clarity, focus and passion I so desperately desired at this time in my life. Living barefoot, waking with the sun, riding waves, sunset yoga, meditating, moving, breathing, drawing, sleeping to the sound of the wind and the waves.
It felt so good to disconnect from the non-essential elements of my life and reconnect with my authentic self, to remember what is truly important to me and to clarify who I really am at the core of my being. I am so full of gratitude, inspiration, love and passion for life and I look forward to the next chapter of my life with so much excitement, joy and anticipation. Thank you!
This has been the single most revealing process I've done over the past 15 years on my journey of personal development.
Having a fairly good idea about the opportunities I am currently working on, the VysionQuest solidified the journey ahead and put some more "fuel on the fire", confirming this is the exact path I need to be on and also being true to myself and passionate.
I've completed several personal development programs in the past but the VysionQuest process far surpasses them all.
Rick's extremely well thought out process and accompanying materials are a dream to those like myself who can often become overwhelmed when putting pen to paper, especially when about themselves and their life experiences. The process has a special way of coaxing out your inner most thoughts/feelings and the pen literally just flows...
I feel completely on point ready to sink my teeth further into my projects now that the I have super defined goals mapped out and the big "WHY" crystal clear.
I learnt a huge amount about myself and what drives me so I would recommend without hesitation to do the VysionQuest.
Rick, thank you for providing a safe space to allow me to be raw and real... with myself. I know you have changed many lives but there are so many more that need your touch.
Love you, mate.
Previous generations seem to think of this as a "reality check" for us millennials, where we realize that life isn't and won't be as fulfilling as we had hoped and been promised it would be.
F*ck that.
To me this 'crisis' has been a positive event and has given me the awareness that material success does not equate to happiness or fulfillment, and that a new strategy for life is now required to move forward in a meaningful way. I feel like I have come out the other side happier, healthier and more inspired than I ever would have imagined.
We weren't interested in waiting around until retirement to live our dreams. We were also chasing answers to what we wanted in life, what brought us joy, and I was exploring what the elusive concept of success really means.
About halfway through our trip we participated in Rick Cowley's VysionQuest.
To say this experience was life-changing would be an understatement.
We returned home to Toronto, Canada, and have been working on starting anew since then. I have achieved many of my Five Year Bucket List goals and dreams, some while traveling and others since we've been home, all of which I am very proud of and grateful for.
I feel like I've made incredible progress over the last 12 months in creating the life that I most want to live and loving each and every day of the journey. But where the last year has been about tearing down, contemplating and rebuilding the foundation, the next few years will be about doing the hard work to actualize the structure.
A big thanks to Rick for helping me put many of these dreams and goals into words, and to my wife Karen for giving me the courage to be bold and chase them.
The smaller group size allowed for deeper connections to be made almost immediately, each person was so incredibly unique and brought something interesting to the conversation. The vulnerability each participant showed allowed for everyone to delve deeper into the process.
"The Process" of course, is Rick's incredible workbook and audio recordings that guide you into the process, followed by a round table discussion that punctuates each session. Rick takes it slowly, allowing for conversation that initiates the real self reflection to take place.
Each day is a little different from the one previous but one common thread was the deeply nourishing conversations over equally as nourishing meals. A daily yoga session with a remarkable teacher that feels the vibe of the group and adjust the session accordingly, it was really wonderful to see such a dedicated teacher on the retreat. Along with Rick's surf metaphors came actual surf lessons to allow us to truly get it - they were also incredibly fun and in a location like no other!
Now I am feeling renewed, refocused, and like I have rediscovered my purpose. Alliteration aside, the process was exactly what I needed to begin a new year, and a new decade. I now have a clear vision of what my core values are, what's important to me and how I want to spend not just the next 5 years of my life, but how I want to feel in that experience and who I want to be a part of it. I feel connected to incredible humans that I got to know so well during this experience and I am grateful for the time I got to spend here at this beautiful location.
Anyone that feels stuck or like they're not getting the most out of their potential would benefit from the VysionQuest. If you're looking to rediscover what your power is, your passion, your reason WHY, this is where you need to be. Take the week, come to this beautiful place and give yourself the gift of guidance - self guidance and soulful, sincere, real and raw guidance from Rick. You get out what you put in.
Rick's excitement for guiding people to find their vision and clarity it is enriching to be around. He empowers you to find your dreams and set goals to move toward, you go dream big, set high expectations for yourself and realize that world is possible, he teaches you the tools to unravel and discover yourself in a structured and detailed way, through visualization, writing and open communication in the other participants.
I felt stuck in a few aspects of moving forward towards my dreams, a lot of this revolved around conditioning about money and self worth. Rick guided me to see this and taught techniques that were so brilliant and simple once you grasp the tools - which I will always have in my pocket. He helped me discover how much I have to offer to the world and to drop out of storms I created for myself. Now there is nothing getting in the way of fully staying present and growing towards creating the most empowering, enriching and fulfilling life I could ever possibly imagine.
The VysionQuest process offers an environment where you can clearly think and reflect on where you are in life, where you have come from, and where you want to see yourself in the future. The process of finding your purpose is enlightening and amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the "anger release" too. What an experience!
After going through the process, I'm feeling like I have clarity and direction for the first time in quite a while. Being able to cut through the fogginess of my mind and get clear on what I want in my life is phenomenal. I have gained clarity and direction going forward. The workbook serves as a point of reference and reflection. It will be a reference for when any self doubts creep in, something that I can lean on and reconnect with.
The VysionQuest process would be great for anyone seeking clarity in their life and those feeling stuck. It's about digging deep and finding your purpose. It's about committing the time and energy to let the process evolve. If you're on the fence, ask yourself these questions, "Are you living your life's true purpose and would you have regrets at the end of your life if you continued on your current path? Have you made a positive impact in life?"
If you are seeking answers to questions like these, if you are seeking purpose and clarity, then I firmly believe the VysionQuest will work for you. You have to commit to the process. I appreciate the experience that VysionQuest has provided for me. Thank you.
| If you are not living your dreams, if you are not sure what your dreams are, then Rick's VysionQuest is a giant step you can take. |
| This VisionQuest has been the best gift I could have ever given myself. |

| It makes you go deeper and deeper into your subconscious and helps you unlock your purpose and your dreams. |
I have had to deal with chronic health issues and the mental torment that this can bring. I also had been living a life I thought I was supposed to live, well-paid job in the city, buying property, getting a pension and basically doing what I had been pre-programmed to believe was the only option.
Through my health issues, I turned to a more spiritual/alternative approach, as the traditional one had gotten me nowhere. By taking this approach, I was exposed to a different narrative on what my life could be if I took the road less traveled.
So, I quit my job, traveled and set up a business. I was headed in the right direction, but still a number of pieces in the puzzle were missing. I knew I needed clarity and insight into my potential and so I started paying attention to the signs. Being part of Reliable Education, I had heard the founder Adam talk about how he had had a complete life turnaround at a retreat in Bali, where he developed the vision for RE. Intuitively, I knew this was something I needed to look into.
I'm not a naturally emotional, creative or imaginative person, but this process is devised in a way that makes you go deeper and deeper into your subconscious and help you unlock your purpose and your dreams.
By the end of the process, I had something I didn't have before - the knowledge and the tools to make my purpose and dreams a reality and this is both motivating and empowering. After the VysionQuest, I know now the ball is in my court. I have the knowledge and tools, but now it's time to execute and I can't wait to do this.
To anyone considering this VysionQuest, ask yourself, "Are you ready to realize things about yourself and your potential that you never dreamed possible?" If yes, then don't think, take action and BOOK IT.

CEO of Page One
| Rick is a true healer, both for me personally and for others. |
But what I really learnt was that it's impossible to build an empire if the groundwork is unstable. I discovered that it was my own internal struggles that were holding me back from my true potential. Rick gave me the tools to fix that and I'm leaving the retreat energised, excited and ready to carry out my purpose with a bang.
He helped me connect, reach, dream and believe in everything I was born to be. He switched on the light in my soul and showed me all the treasures I already had inside that were impossible to see in the dark.
The process was pretty easy and fun but extremely clever. The modules walk you through simple exercises which eventually show you exactly what you want from life. It's like working on a tapestry square by square and then taking a step back and realising you've created a beautiful piece of art.
He helped me sort through the endless ideas and desires that run through my head so I could identify the ones that truly mean the most to me. Once you know what's really important to you the next step is easy – go and get it!
What I didn't expect were the connections I would make with the other participants sharing the journey. From the very beginning Rick helped us remove our protective outer personalities and allow us to be our true selves. Seeing other people share their true desires and vulnerabilities gave you an insight into their soul and created bonds that I'm sure will last a lifetime.
The future is bright!

| Even successful, high achievers can dream bigger, unafraid to open the door to see what more might be possible and how good life can really be. |
If only I had known what success in life really means.
Rick's amazing process, developed and refined over 10+ years, is far more than coaching, mentoring, guiding...
It takes you on a wild ride of a quest to find your vision and then bring it to life and make it a reality.
Even successful, high achievers can dream bigger, unafraid to open the door to see what more might be possible and how good life can really be.
Every single step you take at VQ pulls together the many strands of your life and puzzle pieces of who you are and why you are here.
Whatever you think you might gain from VQ is delivered 10 fold and even better.
You get so much more that you didn't expect.
Most workbooks I've completed from retreats and workshops in the past sit in drawers or boxes, never reopened.
The VQ workbook is now my life map and a living breathing document.
I will refer to this treasure forever... a precursor of everything that will be delivered to me.
VysionQuest is for those who are stuck, struggling or successful and are asking themselves, "What if there was something better than this?"
If this is you and you have found this page, take a deep breath, take hold of your courage and don't hesitate to book in to the retreat or join the online program.
This is the ride of your life and you are totally deserving of everything that will come to you through Rick Cowley's amazing VysionQuest.
Get on the wave and ride it, baby!!
Become more than you ever thought possible.
| If you are going through life transition or are hungry to find more meaning, purpose and clarity you will benefit from VysionQuest. |
He has a way of leading and guiding the retreat to encourage your own self discovery.
I was inspired by and learned from the other people in the group — they were all teachers for me. This retreat attracts people who are actively choosing to live with courage and purpose.
I left the retreat with more excitement and focus on what really matters.
I am very aware that I am the beneficiary of many years of work that Rick did to create this experience of retreat, beauty and inspiration.
It came at the perfect time in my life and I can't begin to tell you what a life changing gift it has been.
Completing the VysionQuest last year helped me uncover not only some specific goals, but a vision for how I want the next phase of my life to feel.
This retreat set me on a course to living with more intention and joy.
It's fun to check things off my Five Year Bucket List, but even more powerful for me was that I came away with a softer approach to how I live my life.
I've always been very goal oriented, and sort of white knuckled my way through challenges to achieve my goals.
The VysionQuest helped me clarify my larger purpose, and trust that the right opportunities will open up along the way.
For anyone considering VysionQuest, I would say that this is an amazing gift to your future bad ass self – and s/he deserves it.
Rick, a special thank you for your rare combination of soul piercing depth and total goofiness!
| The VysionQuest formula is a magical process. It is otherworldly. |
Sometimes I would work hard, see some results but feel like these results were somehow a part of a bigger picture.
I am a visual person and seeing things in a bigger perspective is not only important, but a huge energy source...
Now after VysionQuest this is what I have received...
The gift of VysionQuest has brought an understanding to me that all of the work that I have been doing in bits and pieces came from a deeper place and purpose.
Knowing this purpose not only has put the past into perspective but is now the place from which the future can be built...
The energy is now focused and it all makes sense...
The VysionQuest formula is a magical process.
It is otherworldly.
Anyone who has the honor of going through it should consider themselves privileged...
On the other side of VysionQuest you feel like you have been touched by the other side...
You are not the same person after the experience and I look forward to watching myself and my new friends over the next five years and beyond unfold...
There is something so profound about knowing your life's purpose...
Your past makes sense, your future is clear...
If you are seeking unlimited energy and fulfilling your truest potential then please do whatever you can to make your way into this program...
Show up, open your heart, and watch the magic happen...
I will be telling everyone I know about VysionQuest and how grateful I am that I took the leap of faith... I listened to my intuition and I am so glad I did...
Just do it.
Thank you, VysionQuest.
Thank you, Rick.
| Do VysionQuest at the first chance you have. You'll thank yourself for the rest of your life. |
I felt like my tank was empty and I didn't want to go into another big year without stopping to recharge.
I had neglected my health and my mental well-being.
Friends had told me about VysionQuest and I decided to do it.
It was incredible!
I felt as though my whole mind and body had been reconditioned.
I'm clear, focused and I've finished with a written plan for the next 5 years and new daily habits to match.
If you consider the VysionQuest but don't go ahead, I think you're reaching into your future and stealing from your health, wealth and happiness.
Do VysionQuest at the first chance you have.
| Before VysionQuest I was so stuck in my life and my head that I had forgotten how to feel... |
The process is amazing and Rick is just the epitome of everything he teaches with such heart, soul and authenticity.
I found myself opening up not only to the group but most importantly to myself.
I witnessed such profound transformations of everyone there. It was such an amazing experience and a true honour.
Rick has changed the way I see myself, other people and the world.
He is the right guide at the right time to facilitate a massive shift for anyone who is ready to create profound and permanent change in their lives.
This is something that will stay with me forever and my workbook is now one of my most treasured possessions.

VQ isn't some boring dude who comes to your office, shows you some PP slides and fucks off. Rick made real connections. We participated in activities that challenged us in every way and were a lot of fun. Every day was joy.
I feel so relaxed and am totally content that my life purpose is something to be enjoyed and embraced. The work we did was intense.
I would recommend VQ to anyone who feels like they have a lot to give but not really sure what that is or how to go about it. If you are coming to this journey, prepare to totally let go and trust the process. It all comes together in the end.
| It's been a year since my VysionQuest Retreat and there's not a day that goes by without me thinking about it. Magic happened there! |
I'm grateful for having had the courage to book this trip and for having met great, wonderful, open, giving people.
Mind body soul connection really came together during the week. It allowed me to totally unwind and disconnect from work.
I'm grateful for having learnt so much about the waves and the ocean and tides. I'm grateful for having more clarity around who I am, who I want to be, what I want. I'm creating an awesome life for myself.
I loved every minute of it and would do it again in a heartbeat. By far my best holiday :) If anyone is in doubt about doing it, just do it.
Thank you Rick for everything.
Much love,
| The VysionQuest was an incredibly transformative experience, unlike what you might expect from an online course. |
It gave my clarity on what could be next, expansion on my dreams, gratitude for what already is and a deeper understanding of my purpose.

Since having these insights I have been very engaged in building a new set of products and services (and business) that better suit my passions and I am confident that the rewards from this will surpass anything I have experienced before.

| Life is so short and I cannot imagine having zoomed through the years without pausing to immerse myself in this process to help me find my calling. |
| I've come away feeling enlightened, relieved and with absolute clarity on my purpose. |
I'm thankful someone I respect brought Rick and VQ into my life. It was great timing and when you know, you know.
It isn't like anything else I have done before. The biggest difference is that it is *all* focused on you. On your well-being. On what you're looking for.
The work is simultaneously enjoyable, enlightening, difficult, and easy. I'll not sugarcoat it, some of it I found frustrating and disturbing so expect highs and lows. But, in the best way.
I needed this journey. VQ is an incredibly well designed and worthwhile journey. Rick is a masterful companion and guide.
I've come away feeling enlightened, relieved and with absolute clarity on my purpose.
The work (professional and personal) I've acted on since has been transformative and I only finished VQ last month. I say finish, but you never really finish as VQ has cemented habits that will stay with me forever.
I'll treasure my workbook forever too, it's a rock on my bookshelf and very dear to me.
I feel a palpable excitement for the life I'm living now and what I'll go on to create.
I'm thankful I had the fortune to meet Rick. He is like no one else I've met - warm, empathetic and reassuring. But also down to earth, I'd hang out with the guy and I consider him an important mentor who I hope to stay in touch with for a long time.
For anyone that feels disconnected from their true calling, or if you feel like you are harbouring important contribution but don't know where to start - Rick can and will help.
I've never written a review like this and I'd be happy for anyone to contact me any time as I think everyone should do VQ. It should be part of the curriculum at schools.
Thanks Rick, you're a legend.

Founder - I Feel Good
| The most powerful gift I have ever given myself.... |
The last 6 days or so saw me completely 'unplug' and do nothing but look inwards, dream, plan and connect with like minded individuals....and it has utterly rocked my world (in all the good ways) 🚀
I wanted to make 2021 a year filled with joy, energy and alignment - but I had no idea how to do it. I'd been feeling a little lost the last few months so I knew I needed to go 'all in' to find my mojo again.
Insert VysionQuest 🤯
By far the most POWERFUL personal development I have ever done.
For 5 days I was nourished with beautiful chef prepared vegetarian meals, woke before sunrise to experience a silent meditation overlooking the breathtaking rolling hills as the sun rose above them...just sitting there, soaking it all in and taking in all that nature has to offer. Yoga every day and deep reflection on how I want every aspect of my life to look, whilst being guided by a group of phenomenal human beings and one of the kindest humans I've ever met, Rick Cowley 🙏
It was quite literally like being in heaven on earth.
I found my purpose, my passion and an inner energy I haven't had for years 💃🏻
So now I'm back. More focused than ever and with a heart filled with gratitude and love for the magical life I've been able to create for myself and a child like excitement for what's yet to come.
If you're needing some real clarity or simply a big fat dose of self love - I cannot recommend it highly enough ✨ 💕
| Finishing the retreat with clarity, purpose and confidence is something I, and I'm sure my wife, kids, friends, family and colleagues, will be eternally grateful to Rick and the team for. |
My relationships were clouded by frustration, leading to a sense of inferiority.
Most people see me as a successful man with a great family, high income, achieving it all before I have turned 40.
I saw myself differently and suffered with imposter syndrome.
VQ worked wonderfully for me, guiding me through process of feeling into what is, what has been, what can be and what will be.
The participants were an eclectic selection of humans, all from different backgrounds and stages in life, drawn together to share their stories without a hint of judgement.
The power in releasing these things and seeing them as fuel for growth is indescribable.
Finishing the VQ week with clarity, purpose and confidence is something I, and I'm sure my wife, kids, friends, family and colleagues, will be eternally grateful to Rick and the team for.
If you're sitting on the fence, I challenge you to consider who built that metaphoric fence.
Let the call for everlasting growth be stronger than your fears.
Take the the first step in treating yourself and your loved ones - it's a simple phone call to see if VQ might be right for you.
| I would recommend VysionQuest to absolutely anyone that is seeking direction in life and feels that they have lost themselves somewhere along life's journey. |
I wanted to try this in the hope of gaining some help and clarity.
I was feeling frustrated, anxious, out of balance, and uncertain.
VysionQuest is unique in the way it slowly guides you through some really personal parts of life and how it makes you stop, look, think, question and then answer to your inner self.
Now after completing VQ I feel calm, happy and purposeful, which are my true intentions.
I feel excited about my future.
The fear has left me.
I have gained some real inner understanding of my soul and been able to discover things that excited me that I had previously allowed life to put away and forget.
My VysionQuest workbook is now my road map and plan for the journey and construction of a beautiful second half of life.
I would recommend VysionQuest to absolutely anyone that is seeking direction in life and feels that they have lost themselves somewhere along life's journey.
I would say that if you're serious about trying to improve your life then you need to try VysionQuest at least once.
You have nothing to lose.
You won't regret it!

It was the perfect place to be. It was at times really emotional for me but I can tell you the safe strong clarifying space Rick holds as well as the new life long friends I've made here got us to all step into being really real with ourselves -- not something we usually got to tap into. It has been clarifying, full of breakthroughs, and confidence boosting.
I now have a personal guide book that came from me -- that's gotten me clear on my personal purpose and what tools I've got to start fulfilling it.
And now I'm excited to step forth with everything I've realised and recognised about who and how I truly am. It really is the coolest process -- AND we have had an exceptional amount of fun.
I feel like there's no time to waste. If you are thinking about it, it really can change your life.
Thank you to infinity and beyond for what you do, Rick Cowley.
