Rites Of Passage Retreat
Rites Of Passage:
any ritual or ceremony wherein a participant crosses a threshold demarcating a transformation of their state of being.
The Rites Of Passage Retreat is a 7-day exploration into a spiritual model for transformation based on one of the oldest symbols for evolution and creation...the 'spiral' or 'circle'. Rites Of Passage describes the 'inevitable' journey that all humans experience in a lifetime. During each day of the retreat we will explore the deeper meanings to be found behind each of these 'stages of transformation'. These explorations include a ritual journey representative of each passage. By 'experientially' exploring each passage we will not only 'understand' their significance but 'embody the wisdom' necessary to build a stronger spiritual life.
During the Rites Of Passage Retreat you will explore each of the 12 mystical stages of our physical and spiritual evolution. Each stage is part of a total 'evolutionary journey'...and when learned and understood, it clarifies many of the most compelling and difficult experiences we encounter in our lifetime.The Rites Of Passage Retreat is a 7-day exploration into a spiritual model for transformation based on one of the oldest symbols for evolution and creation...the 'spiral' or 'circle'.
