The Center prides itself on its record of dedication and countless hours of guidance to communities who want to build social capital and invest in nurturing their most valuable assets – the children. We are honored to be invited into the conversation with you and potentially be of service to your community. At the core of our mission and work is the co-creation of settings in which people can flourish as authentic individuals and become intimately connected with others and nature in genuine relationships.

 In the End We Have People in Relationships and Stories

Programs don’t help people, but people in meaningful relationships do.

When stories are shared something powerful happens. Each person’s story holds threads of gold. When woven together with the threads of stories from other times, places, and cultures a new story emerges. Our role as partners and guides in community-oriented rites of passage is to share stories that illuminate the golden threads of symbols, patterns, and processes of initiation. People’s own stories of initiation are then triggered and that, in turn, ignites their creative imagination. Design principles serve as navigational aids to inform and organize new ways of thinking that lead to innovative actions.

So, it is important for parents to take an active role in guiding children through their adolescence and into adulthood. One way to begin this process is to design a personalized rite of passage experience for your child.
