Are You Feeling Lost, Burned Out, or Unfulfilled Despite Your Success?
You've created so much of what you wanted, but something still feels off.
You're unsure how to find deeper meaning or clarity about your future.
Your day-to-day feels disconnected from what truly matters.
It doesn't have to stay this way.
Discover the Ultimate Experience to Awaken Your Purpose and Vision
The VysionQuest Retreat is a 6 or 7-day immersive journey where you'll:
Step away from life's distractions in a breathtaking, serene location.
Experience a proven process to discover your purpose and unlock a vision for your future.
Be personally guided by Rick Cowley, the creator of VysionQuest, who has led over 65 retreats and helped 400+ high achievers.
Step into the VysionQuest Retreat and reconnect with who you truly are
This isn't just another retreat; it's a sacred space where time slows down. This is your chance to pause, reflect, and rediscover your path forward. With Rick Cowley's playful guidance, you'll join a small group of brave like-minded souls—business owners, leaders, professionals, parents—people just like you who are seeking deeper meaning in their work and lives. Together, we'll explore, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear as you uncover what truly matters and reignite your passion for a life that transcends conventional success. The VysionQuest Retreat is your turning point to a more purposeful, meaningful life.
Who is this for?
Tailored for Success-Driven Individuals Seeking More
If you're someone who has tasted success but now craves deeper meaning and fulfillment, the VysionQuest Retreat is designed for you.
Your journey to us might be fueled by various reasons – overwhelming stress (which you're unintentionally taking out on your loved ones), a significant personal loss, a crucial transition phase in life or business, or simply a profound knowing that there's more to life and your potential. Our retreat resonates powerfully with high achievers facing one or more of these challenges:
- Inner emptiness despite outward success
You've achieved so much of what you set out to but there's still this nagging emptiness. Everything looks great on the outside, but inside, you're asking, "Is this all there is?"
- Burned out and out of balance
The relentless demands of business have taken their toll over the years. The cycle of work-work-work can lead to poor mental and physical health, neglected family relationships, and even total breakdown.
- Disconnected from your true self
Remember who you were before all the business madness? It's easy to lose yourself in the hustle and end up feeling disconnected from what really matters to you, leaving you feeling lost and value-less.
- Stuck in a rut
Sometimes, it feels like you're just going through the motions. Like you're stuck and not really living up to your full potential. It's like you're missing a clear direction and just can't seem to find that spark again.
- The persistent feeling of 'not being enough'
It's like no matter how much you achieve, there's this little voice saying you could do more, be more. It's exhausting, always trying to prove yourself and scared of making a mistake.
- Leading can be lonely
It's tough when it seems like no one really gets the challenges you face. What you'd give for some genuine connection with people who truly understand.
The VysionQuest Retreat is a haven where you can address, confront, and transform these struggles into clarity, purpose, and renewed direction for life and business.
What to expect?
The VysionQuest experience, developed during 60+ retreats, is like nothing else on the planet.
It's all about asking the right questions, in just the right way, in a space that feels like it was made for your soul. Our journey together includes 28 carefully curated modules, each blending a soothing guided meditation with an insightful journaling exercise. And it's not just about introspection; we come together for group sharing and feedback, creating a warm, supportive community vibe.
Beyond the sessions, every aspect of our retreat is crafted to nurture your connection with your inner self, from the delicious and healthy meals prepared fresh to the re-energizing, beginner-friendly yoga sessions. Our retreat space is designed with your peace and rejuvenation in mind, nestled in nature's embrace. And of course, there are a few special touches and surprises along the way to make your experience truly unforgettable.
There are SO many amazing things happening in my life right now as a result of me or someone close to me doing this retreat. Just. Do. It.

We help you tap into satisfaction on a soul level, aligning your daily actions with your deepest values... With a special emphasis on your unique purpose and on your dearest relationships.

Rick Cowley: The heart and soul behind VysionQuest
Rick's journey to creating the VysionQuest process is as inspiring as it is profound. His world turned upside down when he was diagnosed with leukemia at 21. But it turned out to be one of the best thing that ever happened to him. He uncovered some life-altering realizations: the undeniable importance of purpose, the preciousness of time, and the transformative power of clarity. These insights are the cornerstones of the VysionQuest framework.
Today, Rick, alongside the dedicated VQ team, passionately guides others in uncovering their true purpose and dreams, paving the way for a life rich in fulfillment and meaning. The VysionQuest process, honed and perfected across more than 60 retreats and with the wisdom of hundreds of high achievers, is a journey like no other. Embark on this unique experience with Rick, and prepare to see your world transform in ways you never imagined.
I cannot recommend it highly enough. One of the best weeks of my life and one of the best gifts I've ever given myself.

Bali Eco Stay - A hidden sanctuary in the heart of Bali
This is the Bali most people only dream of. Tucked away in the lush jungle at the foot of Mount Batukaru, Bali Eco Stay is far from the tourist crowds and noise. Here, you'll find yourself surrounded by endless rice terraces, peaceful forests, and ancient temples, with the soothing sounds of nature all around.
One of the most magical parts of Bali Eco Stay is the private waterfall on the property. Only open to our retreat guests, it's a truly special place to swim, sit, or simply be. The cool water cascading down the rocks is as rejuvenating as it is breathtaking—a perfect spot to reflect and feel the Great Flow at play.
Venue
From the moment you arrive at Bali Eco Stay, it feels like stepping into another world. There's no traffic, no city chaos—just the gentle hum of waterfalls outside your bungalow, the song of jungle insects, and the breeze moving through coconut trees.
Jungle Sleeping
Stay in beautiful open-air, overwater bungalows surrounded by vibrant, ever-changing views of rice paddies, mountain streams, and food forests stretching to the horizon. On clear days, you might even catch a glimpse of the sea. By night, drift off to the soothing sounds of flowing water and the jungle's natural symphony—a primal lullaby.

Nature Living
This is your jungle playground—a space to unplug and reconnect. Swim in freshwater rock pools, learn traditional crafts from the local Kakek (grandfather), or explore untouched landscapes and villages on foot or bike. Every moment here is an invitation to slow down, let go, and be fully present in nature.

Accommodations - Sleep in the heart of Bali
Experience the magic of Bali in one of eight open-air overwater bungalows. These spaces immerse you in nature while offering total comfort and privacy—your own peaceful sanctuary, surrounded by waterfalls, rice paddies, jungle, and mountain streams.
The bungalows are designed to honor Bali's natural beauty, built from locally sourced materials that blend seamlessly into the lush mountain landscape. Their open-air design keeps them cool all day and night, no air-conditioning or fans needed. Being in the mountains, it's naturally 5–10 degrees cooler here than on the coast.
Culinary Experience - Rediscover the real taste of food
At Bali Eco Stay, every meal is an experience. The flavors are fresh, vibrant, and bursting with the authenticity of Balinese home cooking, prepared with love and respect for the land. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and spices are picked straight from the permaculture garden, and you're welcome to visit it yourself. Our pasture-raised chickens and freshwater fish are sourced from nearby organic farms, and we even grow our own vanilla and cacao in rich volcanic soil—completely chemical-free.
Meals are served in the beautifully handcrafted restaurant, perched above rice paddies and food forests, with views stretching all the way to the Indian Ocean. Open windows let in cool breezes from the valley, so it's always comfortable—whether you're enjoying breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Getting to Bali
Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), located near Denpasar, is the primary gateway to the island. It's well-connected to major cities worldwide, with direct flights available from hubs like Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, Dubai, and Tokyo. Check visa requirements for your nationality and plan to arrive on Bali a day before the retreat begins.

FAQs
| I’m not good at meditating. Will the program work for me? |
We've had hundreds of people successfully do the VysionQuest who had no prior meditation experience, or feel like they struggle with meditation.
That just doesn't matter.
That's part of the power of the program... how it takes you to deep stillness and lets you hear the quiet voice of your Inner Knowing.
All you have to do is show up, follow the steps, and trust the process!
| I’m not good at writing. Will the program work for me? |
If you think you're not good at writing, you've probably got some leftover trauma from school! At the beginning of the VysionQuest we remind you that THIS IS NOT SCHOOL! This is actually the opposite of school! We will undo many of the things that schooling did to you. After a few Silent Sunrise Sessions, as you see your inner wisdom pour out onto the page, you may even fall in love with this kind of writing.
| I've never done yoga before. Is the program right for me? |
This is a common concern, and the answer is YES. All our yoga classes are suitable for beginners. No matter how stiff you are! Our Retreats are not "yoga retreats" but yoga is one of the tools we use to help you relax and reconnect with your guide inside. Yoga has been a key part of the VysionQuest Retreats since the beginning. Our Retreats are a great way to get some friendly instruction and experience with yoga - and maybe even kickstart a new habit that will help you turn back the clock.
| I've never done a self development program before. Is this program right for me? |
Well, only you will know if VysionQuest is right for you.
But it was developed to help people at any level of personal or professional development find clarity and inspiration for the next phase of life.
Whether you're just out of college or the owner of a million dollar company - Whether you've done several self or professional development programs or nothing at all - Whether you consider yourself to be super spiritual not...
VysionQuest is skillfully designed to meet you exactly where you're at, to open your mind to what is possible, or remind you of who you are and what you're really here to do.
| I’ve done a lot of spiritual and personal development work over the years. What is so different about VysionQuest? How can it help me? |
We've helped people from all walks of life find greater purpose and fulfillment through the VysionQuest.
From actors and celebrities to small business owners and large business owners to accountants and dancers and coaches and yogis, DJs, chefs, marketing execs....
The bottom line is - if you're open and ready for it, you will find what you're looking for.
What makes VysionQuest different is the content, the questions, and especially the SEQUENCE they are presented in.
Each writing exercise poses a different question to help you look at your deepest desires, hopes, dreams -- and anything holding you back that you might be unaware of -- skillfully placed in a particular order that supports you to open up to different aspects of yourself, deeper and deeper as the program progresses.
That's why it's a process. You can't get to these inner answers from a book or a TED Talk or just journaling. This is a deep process that carefully uncovers the essence of YOU.
No one is telling you what to think or feel. The questions are designed for YOU TO BE THE CAPTAIN of this ship and reveal what's really inside your subconscious mind through WRITING, putting PEN TO PAPER, and asking you questions you otherwise probably would never ask yourself, and therefore never really know about yourself.
| What should I bring? |
We'll include a packing list in your Welcome Email.
| What if I have special dietary needs? |
When you register you can submit any dietary needs that you have. If we can't completely accommodate your needs, we'll let you know and come up with a solution.
| What's your cancellation policy? |
The following fees will apply as of the date of receipt of written cancellation notice.
Minimum Fee: AUD$2200 is the minimum non-refundable cancellation charge, per person.
30 days or less prior to arrival: 100% of total trip cost will be charged.
| How do I sign up? |
Step 1) Join the Waitlist and answer a few questions about yourself here: Our in-person retreats are designed for high-caliber individuals committed to profound personal, professional and spiritual growth. Sharing information about yourself helps us ensure that our retreat aligns with your aspirations and that you'll be among peers with similar dedication.

Step 3) Registration: Once we both agree it's the right fit, we'll guide you through the registration process to officially secure your spot for this life-altering journey.

VysionQuest Reviews
I don't think I'll ever be able to talk about the VysionQuest in a way that will do it justice! The best thing is to read reviews from our participants and hear what they experienced. Maybe it's something you'd like to experience too.
