Rites of Passage
Rite of Passage Journeys, established in 1968, fosters self-discovery, community belonging, and connection with the natural world. Through contemporary rite of passage experiences and education, we mentor youth, adults and elders through life transitions, initiating soulful leaders for the next generation.
Our vision is a world of vibrant, multi-generational communities in which each life stage and the transitions between them are honored, in which all people are guided to recognize and give their gifts in service to a thriving planet.

“When we first ‘got him back,’ I felt immediately that he was so grounded and connected to who he is. Brandon has returned to us with a deep gratitude for his existence and life which he did not have before. I realize that I can actually hand the reins over to him and that he is indeed capable of handling the steering.”
- Participant Parent
“The course of my life has been permanently altered, in the most precious and meaningful ways. I am better equipped to serve my community from my heart and I am better able to see the humanity in myself and others.”
