Our Programs
Summer Programs
Venture out and discover what’s possible! Our summer rite of passage programs inspire youth and adults to build confidence, forge community, and reconnect with themselves, each other, and the natural world, all in the wonderous wilds of the PNW.
Year-Round Offerings
From retreats and workshops to community events and leadership trainings, we offer a myriad of ways for folks to connect and grow all year long.
Not from the PNW? No worries! We host in-person and virtual programs.
Schools & Groups
Whether you’re looking for a meaningful rite of passage celebration, an educational adventure, or facilitated team and community-building, we work with schools, organizations, and groups to craft programs that attune to your unique needs and goals.
Everyone deserves the chance to access their next rite of passage.
That’s why we work hard to offer financial aid and sliding scale program fees. Learn more on our financial aid page.
What is a Rite of Passage?
Mark What Matters
From birthdays and graduations to weddings and funerals, rites of passage mark significant transitions in our lives. Facilitated rites of passage:
Give Shape to What Matters
Give shape to moments of growth or uncertainity, helping us visualize otherwise unseen moments of change.
Encourage Powerful Reflection
Create space to slow down so that we can explore what lies ahead in our lives and celebrate what lies behind.
Support Intention & Purpose
Offer space, time, and support for people seeking to move through life with a great sense of intention, purpose, and connection.
At Journeys, we create experiences that respond to each person, their stage of life and their unique transition. Our work takes many forms, from nurturing curiosity and community care in children to supporting older adults in stepping into elderhood.
