Celebrating the Sacred Threshold of Adulthood
A coming of age ceremony provides a profound way to honor, celebrate and bless a young person as they cross the threshold from childhood into young adulthood.
This sacred ceremony offers an opportunity for the young adult to discover, ground, and align with their clear vision for who they intend to BE in their life. It is a meaningful way to celebrate this time of profound personal transformation, and to receive the respect, support, acknowledgement and love of their community.
A coming of age ceremony offers so much more than simply a celebration.
The journey of creating and offering a coming of age blessing ceremony is truly a transformational experience. Far from a formality, living ceremony is a vibrational catalyst: it is a vehicle for energetic transformation, activation and alignment- and a powerful support on the journey of inner awakening and joyful living.
WHAT IS LIVING CEREMONY?
The journey of creating and activating a coming of age ceremony can offer many blessings to the young adult, their parents, and their community of support. Guiding my own sons through this coming of age rite-of-passage ceremony was tremendously powerful- for my sons, of course, but also for myself, their father, and the whole community who came out to support them.
