spirit journey
Inner realm expedition
A spirit journey is a mystical or meditative experience in which a person's consciousness travels beyond ordinary reality—often to communicate with spirits, seek guidance, or gain insight.
The concept appears in shamanic traditions, New Age spirituality, and psychedelic culture: The shaman embarked on a spirit journey to find the source of the illness.
Sometimes used loosely for any profound inner exploration or transformative experience.
