​ "A Quest of any kind is a heroic journey. It is a rite of passage that carries you to an inner place of silence and majesty and encourages you to live life more courageously and genuinely. I highly recommend Catriona's quests. They are truly sojourns of the heart."~Denise Linn

 Your Spirit and Nature Quest Guide

Catriona, (Scottish Gaelic for Catherine & a descendant of one of the most ancient clans, the  MacGregors,)  helps people find meaning in their own lives through Vision Quests, Nature Retreats, and Spiritual Teaching & Coaching.

Catriona’s book,”Partnering with Nature: The Wild Path to Connecting with the Earth” was awarded a Gold Medal from the 2011 Nautilus Book Award, which recognizes "world-changing books" that "promote spiritual growth, conscious living and positive social change as they inspire the reader to new possibilities for a better world." Previous winners include His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, Thich Nhat Hanh"

"I have been deeply impressed by Catriona MacGregor for many years. Her striking kinship with the animal world and her vision of the natural world are compelling and apparent when you are in her presence.  Many people carefully copy native traditions, hoping for a shamanic experience. Catriona MacGregor is a shaman.” - Jim Gilkeson, - author of A Pilgrim in Your Body: Energy Healing and Spiritual Process

" Catriona is truly a wise woman who weaves her many life experiences, spirituality and intuition into a tapestry of hope. She is gentle, honest and provides a safe space for your dreams to grow and emotions to bound forward. I thank her for helping me to rediscover my dreams and find clarity and peace. " ~ E. G.  San Francisco

Working with Catriona is a wonderful experience and a blessing. Our time together fed my heart, body and soul. I feel stronger and better able to fulfill many of the dreams and visions that I have."
