The Wilderness Guides Council is a non-profit, membership organization dedicated to the concept that wilderness is the root source of our spiritual values, inspiration and healing. We are a world-wide community that uses a pan-cultural model for rites-of-passage work, including the ceremony variously called the vision quest, wilderness quest, vision fast and other names.  While each of our members operates their business independently, we are each committed to the same mission and ethics. We are incorporated in the United States and our members can be found around the world.

Whether you are a guide looking for other guides to share experiences and hold community with, or are an individual seeking a guide for wilderness initiation, we hope you will take the time to explore this web site and it's resources.

Current members who offer guide services are listed in the Guide Directory with links to their email addresses and websites. WGC guides would love to hear from you.
