A Welcome Home Ceremony!

An important and unique aspect of our rites of passage programs is our focus on Incorporation. That is the time after a profound experience when an individual begins to see themself as a changed person and incorporate their altered experience into their daily life.

You can be a part of this! We host this ceremony for the initiated young men to tell the stories of their rite of passage to the general community--including you! These ceremonies are celebrations from which attendees leave feeling nourished by sacred story.
