Rites of Passage Ceremonies

The rites of passage are ceremonies that celebrate the natural transitions that we humans all experience: birth, puberty, maturity, the elder stage and death - hopefully in that order. Neglect in honoring these important milestones of human development with traditional rites of passage ceremonies has led to a culture out of touch with its own natural cycles, and therefore out of alignment with the natural world around us. Here we offer information for understanding the value of these ancient practices:

birth, puberty, maturity, elder stage, death
natural cycles of life
