A Vision to Live By: Crafting an Authentic Life with Rites of Passage

This recording of a live online event features Kedar Brown and Kat Houghton of Rites of Passage Council, and is a great introduction to the concept of rites of passage, and the sorts of knowledge and medicine they can help us rediscover within ourselves. We’d especially like to thank all who were able to participate in the live event, and express our gratitude for all the thoughtful and insightful audience interactions.

A Vision to Live By:
Crafting an Authentic Life with Rites of Passage

Living an authentic life, one infused with meaning that satisfies your soul’s longing, is hard in this world. We are constantly bombarded with the messages of materialism, the world view that the universe is a dead machine and our only hope is to accumulate more stuff.

If you are anything like us, you see through this, you know the world is alive with Spirit and that we are each an integral part of this vast beautiful mystery.

And without community, friends to help you hold strong to this knowing, it is easy to get pulled into the soul-destroying narrative of the modern world, no matter how hard you try.

Our world is in crisis. We need souls ready to listen to their calling, to delve deeply into who they are and why they are here. We need souls ready to pull from the depths of their longing to give to the world in their own unique way.

This is the purpose of rites of passage ceremonies, to awaken us to the truth of who we are.

Rites of Passage Council is a community of people dedicated to guiding you through your version of a rite of passage ceremony no matter what type of life transition you currently face. We have walked down this path ourselves and many times with others. We can not take you to your soul’s destination - only you can do that - but we can point you in the direction of some trailheads.

Let's start to lean into those seeds of longing that your soul keeps bringing to your attention. Let's give them some attention and listen to what might be next for you.
