 “My experiences on the Coming of Age Journey have had a more significant impact on my life than anything else I can think of. Those experiences continue to act as a touchstone for me now, 15 years later, and began a deep connection to community and the natural world, as well as fostering self-reflection and awareness of who I am and who I want to be in the world.” Program Participant

Stan's corner

Resources from Journey's Director Emeritus

Dear Stan, I am a 42-year-old middle manager. I have been looking for a way to get my mind around what lies ahead for me. A friend referred me to your website. After spending time here, I’m beginning to get some of the reasons why a young person would do well to participate in a rite of passage or a vision quest. However, I am confused about why an adult would benefit from such an experience.

Read Stan's response!

Part of our mission at Rite of Passage Journeys is to educate individuals and organizations about the what, why, and how of rites of passage.  Please explore Stan's Corner, a section dedicated to Journeys' Director Emeritus who guided our programs for 25 years, to learn more.
