“There is one thing in this world you must never forget to do. If you forget everything else and not this, there’s nothing to worry about, but if you remember everything else and forget this, then you will have done nothing in your life.” Jalalludin Rumi

“It is a bitter observation: Life is constant peril; moral or even physical security is a myth. Few of us know what to do with our lives, with our power and will, with our intelligence and freedom. The heart is frail and blind; unguided, it becomes savage and forlorn.” Abraham Heschel

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.

Offer this Quest in your community! Schedule a Gathering.

Add a Gathering for the Quest "What is your calling?"

Enter the Mystery

Do you have a unique gift? Can you live a life that expresses this distinctive approach?

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.

What is your calling? (A Visionary Society Quest)

Don’t take the easy way

What does it mean to support a Quest? It doesn’t mean that you agree with everything in it. It doesn’t mean that you will do anything in particular.

As the Supporter of a Quest, you can review and respond to the development of the Quest in your community. 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.
