Supporting helps build the critical mass for change. Critical mass means that we are building awareness, that we can be effective in taking action. Supporting a Quest, in any area, is becoming – starting to become – Visionary citizen.

"What is called politics is comparatively something so superficial and inhuman, that practically I have never fairly recognized that it concerns me at all…It is as if a thinker submitted himself to be rasped by the great gizzard of creation. Politics is, as it were, the gizzard of society, full of grit and gravel."

Henry David Thoreau, Life Without Principle

Exploring a Quest on your own is good, but doing it together with friends and community members is better! Facilitating Quests is easy and no one needs to be an expert. The Quest Path is intuitive. Just take the steps that interest you. To begin, decide on the Gathering type.
Quest Meeting
Hold a meeting open to Visionary society members and the public, with the purpose of following any Quest Path, reaching the heart of a basic social or personal mystery. See more.
Public Action
A great insight matters little unless and until we bring it into the world. Public Action is bringing the insights of a Quest to the public. It works by engagement – engaging the public, helpfully but with clarity, in matters of significance. See more.

Reflect

Get under the surface of a political or social issue

Reflect means entering a space for reflection on the entirety of the situation, engaging the mystery in your own life.
 

Promise

Instead of using force, appeal to the common good.

Each area of our life should produce a passionate invitation, a choice, a vow.
 

Transform

Vote with your life – The courage of heart and soul

A great insight matters little unless and until we bring it into the world.

What is Quest?
Quest is a holistic approach that brings together thought, feeling and action at one and the same time. It is the totality of a response to a mystery. It is yearning for good, truth, love. Learn more.
