dc.description.abstractThe article focuses on the ways in which the members of a neo-traditionalist initiative called Iglesia Nativa Americana del Fuego Sagrado de Itzachilatlan (Native American Church of the Sacred Fire of Itzachilatlan, hereinafter FSI) develop a life project they define as a 'path to spirituality '. Based on the anthropological field work undertaken at the ceremonial center of the FSI in Chile, we interpreted the practices and narratives that 'spiritual seekers ', men and women of the congregation, carry out to achieve personal fulfillment. The analysis centers on the 'quest for vision ', a ritual instance we approached from the perspective of rites of passage (Van Gennep, 2013) and ritual symbolism (Turner, 2013). The results suggest that this process is marked by two concurrent mechanisms that, inspired on Van Gennep, we called disruption and connection. Both mechanisms intervene more or less radically in everyday order, leading people to experience and unfurl a transformation in themselves and the world they inhabit.
