“The Quest Retreats adventure was a blast! … more fun than I could imagine in a trip!” K. Wilson
Not only will we see the sights in London, but we’ll go even further. Mystery, magic and going where most people you know just don’t go.
Ever wonder about ancient days when beings worked spells, and communed with invisible forces? Could there have been a time when magic really happened?
We’ll visit an area of Scotland renown for it’s relationship with magic. Stone circles and mounds that are still unexplained. Interesting ‘events’ still happen there that science hasn’t figured out yet. On the Isle of Skye, Lewis on the Hebrides and the Orkney Islands!

“I’ll never stop telling people that the whole thing really exceeded our expectations.”
– Vic & Stacey P. ~ London 2016
” I was hoping for the trip of a lifetime and it ended up being so much more. Every day we stepped outside was a new adventure waiting for us. Since Pat pre-screened our group, everyone got along perfectly and each of us contributed to making this adventure the best it could be. Make no mistake, Quest Retreats is not some travel company where all you do is excursions. Pat had sought out all the greatest things to see and do long before we ever stepped foot in New Zealand. As a single man who enjoys traveling this trip was beyond my imagination. I plan on taking more trips with Pat in the future and if you are interested in a wonderful adventure I highly suggest you look into a Quest with Pat.” David S. ~ a Two time Quester!
“Pat is a genuine, sincere person who puts aside her celebrity and makes every effort to engage the group, and everyone she meets for that matter, on a personal level. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group was well taken care of from arrival to departure.” – Doug B. ~ a Three time Quester!
“These past two weeks were full of … some of the best life experiences and made some of the best connections with some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. And here’s to more. To my friends, family, and fellow Questers, mahalo to you!”– Heather S. ~a Two time Quester!
Your Adventure Mentor, Patricia Tallman!
“There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven’t yet met.” William Butler Yeats
This quote really means something to me.I aspire to create connections between people. To find common ground, share experiences, support each other and form community. This gives life meaning to me. And to give life color, I need to travel and see new places, to stretch my wings and meet new people. Would you like to join me?
Have you felt like life was stuck? Do you look around and wonder if this is it? Have you experienced a set back and want to rebuild but don’t know how?
I went through a big break down which had lead to an even bigger break through. These past years have been ALL ABOUT rebuilding a meaningful life. A life that has me feeling all the joy, love, hope and connection I could ever want. I want to look around me and say “WOW! I had no idea I could be this happy. That this could be my life!”
I have found the way to do that and I can share it with you. On our calls, and during our time together, I will introduce the tools that worked so well for me, work with you to help you use them and support you while you practice them. It will be as if Hagrid just said to you “You’re A Witch or Wizard! You could do magic all along!”
Patricia Tallman
I want to inspire you. I want to see you rock your life by not accepting the status quo, what other people think, staying in fear based choices rather than listening to your dreams of living the the life of your bad-assed self. Let’s experience adventure and fun together and get inspired!!! Inspired to live life more fully, to experience joy and wonder and maybe even write that into those stories, or paint that painting, whatever it is that aches to be expressed! Learn more about Pat…

“Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.”
– Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince
“For me the benefits of Quest Retreats began before the retreat itself. The thought of spending several days with Pat and the group, a series of interesting (fabulous) events during those days, made for an impossible to resist urge to get out of my comfort zone and make some significant changes. I began to see some new possibilities for how to approach my own future and achieve goals I had not dared set. It was also incredibly fun.” Doug B. ~a Three time Quester!
Read what people are saying about Pat and Quest Retreats
“With most tours you get out what you put into it. But with Quest Retreats you get so much more because Pat puts so much more than expected into the planning, the special events, the treats, the rewards and the genuine affection for everyone. I would go anywhere with Quest Retreats. Sign up today! You’ll be so happy you did.”- Kirk L
“Pat Tallman was like Malcolm and we were like the crew of Firefly – all different, yet somehow working together and having fun. It was a nerd’s dream come true.” Dario S.
“This was the most amazing Lord of the Rings tour I can imagine. Pat really went above and beyond to create not just a travel experience, but a true Fellowship.”- Ray T.
“Pat impressed me with the preparation she put in before-hand. We were well informed what to expect, and what we needed to have with us. The pacing of events was spot on, and things went off flawlessly. The choice of events was stellar!” Kevin W. ~a Three time Quester!
“Pat is truly one of the kindest individuals I have encountered…” Darcy C. ~a Two time Quester!
“Pat Tallman was an excellent guide on the retreat, not only in having planned out the logistics well, but also being available to help us process our experience. A couple of us met her every morning to meditate, and every now and again everyone met up to discuss what was going on and what impressions were coming up for us. But Pat was not some distant figure but was willing to discuss her own experiences openly and honestly to put her perspective into context, which I found helpful and admirable.” Auddie H.
