Level 4 - Rites of Passage
A rite of page is a ceremony and marks the transition from one phase of life to another. It can refer to any of life’s transitions (births and beginnings, initiations, partnering, and endings or death). There are many passages in our lives if we choose to mark and celebrate them.
I like to extend that definition to include rituals and ceremonies that help adults transition to new life roles along the path of adulthood and elderhood. These rite of passage experiences can help us to live more fully and with a stronger sense of personal responsibility for all aspects of our lives. Hopefully, this expansion of personal responsibility will then be passed on to the larger world, of which we are a part.
If we create and support participation with intention in a rite of passage, ritual or ceremony, the experience provides a space for the participants to be connected and have a sense of tribe, family or community.
Celebrating milestones is an important part of the human experience, from birthday parties to acknowledging years of service for work. The KaHuna massage provide an opportunity to go through transition in life then help the transformation that take place for the individual to suit their need , mostly we aim for ease and grace.
