Everyone has fear when approaching a vision fast, even those of us who have gone out twenty times or more.
Remember that you do not do it all at once. From our living room it seems an enormous leap, but it is in fact many smaller steps, each one do-able. We write a letter of intent, arrange our schedule, make travel plans, pack. We arrive in a new place, meet our guide and companions, and tell our stories. In a small group we share our fears, address physical and safety needs, learn about ceremony and what to expect, practice sleeping out under the stars. By the time we walk alone out of base camp, we have already left behind most of the fears and questions that seem so imposing to us now.
