Throughout history aboriginal cultures have used rituals to deeply support and initiate the phases of ones life and development. These rituals often contain within them a necessary psychological shock.
How does the absence of these intentional initiatory rites, in our western culture, effect our development? What unacknowledged initiations do we pass through? Have you had an initiatic experience which greatly effected your development psychologically or spiritually?
This tribe is for those interested in the psycho/spiritual consequence of initiation, and the consequence of it's marginalization in our culture.
