In this episode I share how I began adding** 'rites of passage' **elements into my summer camps, class trips and skills programs & activities, with an emphasis on the practical nuts and bolts aspects to these topics. I also share how I got started in leading 'Coming of Age' programs for boys entering young adulthood, and how it evolved to working with parents as well.
There is a noticeable shift in my own students and staff that occurs when I hold a space for this kind of awareness, and I have used guided imagery, crafting a** 'skills code'** and other means to help build the inner foundations of these individuals. It is a powerful understanding that changes lives in meaningful ways, and I'm excited to share these tools with everyone.
