Rites of Passage

A sacred transition into the next chapter of your life

A Rite of Passage is more than a ceremony—it’s a soul-deep threshold. It marks a transition: becoming an adult, retiring, grieving a loss, or stepping into a new way of being.

Some transitions are obvious. Others are deeply personal and hidden. But all deserve to be honored.

The Three Phases of Initiation

Every true Rite of Passage contains three essential phases:
1. Severance — an ending, a letting go
2. Threshold — the initiation, time in the unknown
3. Incorporation — the return, living what was marked

Modern life rarely offers all three. We celebrate milestones like graduation or marriage—but often miss the depth and transformation. We may even self-initiate in unconscious ways: through alcohol, tattoos, or risk. We long for meaning. For clarity. For a felt shift in who we are becoming

Personal Rite, Collective Contribution

In indigenous traditions, Rites of Passage were not only personal—they served the community. What was received in solitude was brought back in service to the whole.

Today, as we live through a collective Rite of Passage as humanity, your personal rite becomes part of that larger movement. You deepen your seeing. You clarify your vision. You return carrying something new—not just for yourself, but for the future.

If you feel called to take this work even deeper and contribute to that larger movement, you may be ready for  Awakening the Elder Within, a six-month Rite of Passage into soul-aligned elderhood.

What I Offer

I guide small groups and individuals through a modified yet meaningful Rite of Passage—adapted for modern life and physical accessibility.

Your journey includes:
- 3 Zoom meetings before your threshold time (severance and preparation)
- 3 Zoom meetings afterward (integration and incorporation)
- A threshold period of time alone in nature—your backyard, a park, or a sacred place of your choosing. This can be a few hours, from dawn to dusk, or what suits your situation.

I work 1-on-1 or with groups of up to 6 people. Each Zoom call lasts approximately 2 hours.

Ongoing support is available upon request—for those desiring continued reflection and integration beyond the core program.

If you have any questions contact me.
