Protector Training
This is a 10-day class designed to train Vision Quest Protectors and not only teaches about protection, but significantly deepens your own Quest experience, culminating with the Second Level of Quest.

Origins of our Protector Training
The Protector Course was originally designed by Malcolm Ringwalt of Earth-Heart Institute to train Vision Quest Protectors. Over his many years of training Protectors, Malcolm found that this course opens an incredibly powerful and effective spiritual life for anyone on this path. The Protector Course not only teaches about protection, it significantly deepens your own Quest experience and culminates with the Second Level of Quest.
