Rites of Passage

“Setting Intentions for Success”
In many cultures and traditions “Rites of Passage” ceremonies were observed to mark significant times of growth and development or changes in status within the society, such as when a young girl became a woman or a young boy became a man. Traditional ceremonies were used to mark this passing of time and declare the larger communities intention to recognize the young one now as an adult.

Likewise there were ceremonies to mark coming into the time of mid-life and also the wisdom years that followed. In our modern times, many of us have lost such meaningful traditions. These “Rites of Passage” are much more significant than simple birthday celebrations… They often activate and facilitate an energetic shift, being a catalyst for growth and change for the one being honored.
