As a modern man, one of the things that is interesting is that there is no discernible rite of passage, in today’s society. I am sure, this is also true for women. What do you think?

I have been working with some friends a little bit, lately, helping them set up a website for a program they have developed. It is a special program, and originally was designed for year 9 boys, to educate them in life skills and help them grow into men. But, has grown into something much more vast.. From the site:

Given the current absence of any substantial rites of passage in the Western World, young people are left to invent their own, which are often unhealthy and unsafe. We intend to provide young people with the opportunity of experiencing rites of passage, created and guided by caring adults.

I just wonder out loud what of a world we might find ourselves if all of us had the opportunity and good fortune to complete such a journey. Read more about rites of passage and educating teens on TheRiteJourney.com
