10 Reasons to Participate in a Wilderness Rite-of-Passage Ceremony

1. Ancestral remembering: spending time stripped away of our defenses, and steeped in conversation with the more-than-human world is hardwired in us.
2. The meaning of intuition and self-trust will expand exponentially.
3. Abundant Spaciousness to really feel what has been paved over by the pace or structure of our day-to-day lives (whether that’s grief, pleasure, anger, vitality, ecstasy, or otherwise).
4. To mark a letting go, a celebration, a claiming of gifts, or honoring of a transition.
5. To resurrect our natural ritual intelligence: self-generated ceremony on the land is likely and an intuitive way to connect.
6. There’s no greater fear than fear of ourselves, which is to say, there’s no greater way to face our fears than to face and embrace ourselves.
7. Having our sacred stories being heard and held in a circle of peers and elders is ancient, healing, profound medicine. 
8. Hearing and holding others’ sacred stories is ancient, healing, and profound medicine.
9. To re-enter your life in alignment with what is most alive in you. 
10. To re-member why you came here. 

Crossing the Threshold is a four-month sacred journey, combining expressive arts and nature connection and culminating in an on-the-land Wilderness Rite-of-Passage Ceremony. There’s still time to register—our first gathering is Monday night— when we will begin to gather twice a month online to connect, deepen our intentions, explore the elements, and attune to our inner and outer wilderness landscapes. The program culminates in a 6-day rite-of-passage ceremony on the land, where you will have two-nights out solo on the land and 4 days connecting in earth community, holding space for others and allowing yourself to be witnessed in your authentic story.
