MEN’S RITE OF PASSAGE 9-DAY IMMERSION

AUGUST 9TH-17TH 2025

Rite of Passage has been a part of indigenous cultures from around the world for thousands of years. Our ancestors understood the importance of marking transitions in life with a rite of passage. Some of these transitions include the process of birth, moving from childhood to adulthood, adulthood to parenthood, adulthood to elderhood, marriages, and finally death.

These passages can be challenging in various ways, but they are part of necessary mental, emotional, and spiritual preparation for the new roles and responsibilities that come with each passage.

In our western culture, rites of passage have been largely lost and this has caused many detriments to us as a collective, including the distortion of the sacred divine feminine and masculine energies.

Without rite of passage, people engage in various activities, subconsciously seeking this type of initiation, but often results in negative outcomes such as lack of responsibility, powerlessness, distortion of ideals, and lack of connection to self and others.

Rites of passage is a way to reconnect with our soul agreements, the commitments we made before arriving on this plane, where we committed to be of service in some way.

This is the opportunity of a lifetime, a time to connect with our deepest self through uninterrupted connection with the greatest teacher of all, Nature. It is a time for us to reconnect with our personal power as men, fathers, warriors, protectors, providers, lovers, husbands, brothers, sons, and all the roles of relation that we dance through in life together.  We will connect deeply with the 4 elements, the 4 seasons, our personal seasons and cycles to better understand who we are and where we are going.

This program will include various ceremonies, rituals, fasting, and other spiritual processes.

All confirmed participants will receive instructions for preparation and packing lists.

An essential part of the rite of passage is the delving into the unknown, and so we are giving a general outline of what will happen, but the details are not included for this reason.

All Inclusive 9-day Program: Includes All Rituals, Delicious Meals, All Medicines, 3 Day Vision Quest & Ceremonies

Registration Deadline: July 9th
