Meet your Guides

Theresa Plewman and Kevin Rudham are collaborating on this Vision Quest. We bring together a broad range of facilitation and therapeutic skills and experience. We have a shared love of the land and its creatures and moods. We have a passion for the particularities of being human in the world. We have worked together as co-facilitators and organisers of Vision Quests since 2004.


We share a strong bond of mutual respect and fun. We have both quested multiple times over the decades, most recently Theresa quested in South Africa in 2022, encountering a deep ancestral calling to bring this work forward yet again.
