Rites of Passage
Honour your soul’s journey
This disconnection from the sacred and from the natural cycles of the human being have left us thirsty to empower ourselves through transformative medicine and magic.
A Rites of Passage is a bridging ceremony, a ceremony of transition from one life stage to another. Rites of passage are not something new, they are ancient practices that have been lost and forgotten over the years as we have become disconnected from our roots and swept up into the chaos of life.
Our ancestors were often welcomed to adulthood with ceremony and blessings and yet many of us passed from childhood to maidenhood and beyond without clear acknowledgement about our changing landscape. Our passages most commonly still recognized are often about our education, marriages or birth.
The second half of our modern human life rarely bows to our life’s transitions.Our culture encourages women to stay as the maiden, to stay young and forever look young and this is ridiculous. Women embody deep richness beyond maidenhood and we need to honour all of these aspects that lie within our being.
Are you ready to…?
Remember who you are and where you are in the web of life.
Take up more space in the world.
Let your soul essence shine in sisterhood.
Allow the death of your old beliefs.
Dance through the symbolic stages of life.
The Rites of Passage Ceremony
What happens in the Rites of Passage Ceremony?
Fasting and preparations will lead up to the ceremony taking place on the unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw also known as Squamish, on the Summer Solstice Weekend. It will begin at midnight on Saturday June 18th and come to completion at 6am on Sunday morning.
We will begin the evening with a bit of singing and then transition into the wild river of crazy wisdom and fierce love- our Ritual Dance. We will dance through the cycles of life from birth until death taking the time to acknowledge all of the cycles of life that we have moved through, where we are now and what lies ahead. We will complete the Ritual with bringing our voices to the circle and sharing the vows that you choose to honour in your current cycle of time.
This Ritual draws some inspiration from the Mescalero Apache ceremonial traditions. It is also highly influenced and supported by the Tantric Tradition of India and the Maha Vidyas fondly known as the Wisdom Goddesses.
How do we prepare for this?
This process will require some emotional, spiritual and psychological preparation. I suggest some time for contemplation on the portals of the Maiden, Mother and Crone. This will be a process of allowing the body to lead, listen and receive from this experience of remembering.
I suggest dedicating yourself to some practices that will support you to gain a deeper understanding of self and the cycles of life. To embody sacred inner union and anchor love into our planet so we may best support the birth of a new humanity. I am happy to offer suggestions if you are in need of a supportive practice.
You are welcome with whatever degree of preparation feels right in this time.
There will also be fasting suggested closer to the event time.
