The vital and timeless ritual of initiation has been lost in our culture, leaving young people confused as to their purpose and their relationship to the whole of life. Without the guidance and support of ritual and community, the powerful drives and overwhelming emotions of the initiatory age can lead to destructiveness and turmoil, or to the sublimation of the heart’s true calling.

Young Men’s Initiation into Adulthood is a sacred rite of passage that recognizes the transformative spiritual force awaiting deep inside each young man to bring maturity, responsibility and wisdom to life. The ritual of initiation provides the catalyst for this transformation.
Young men from the ages of 16 to 25 are encouraged to apply. Parents are invited to assist in the application process where appropriate. Ritual elders Dan Sprinkles and David Wiley, assisted by men from the community, guide applicants throughout the preparatory process and initiation ritual.
