ADULT
PROGRAMS

Tend Your Fire offers rites-of-passage ceremonies for adults. Taking the time to honor transitions from one phase of life into another, or significant events can help us gain insight, gather wisdom from the past and see a clearer future. Purpose can emerge and our life can become more meaningful, joyful and aligned with our true nature.

Initiation and rite of passage ceremonies have existed pan-culturally for centuries to help us grow and thrive in connection to nature’s mysteries, power, and wisdom. In today’s world people are busy, distracted and addicted to screens, substances, information, and so many material things, all of which can leave us feeling depleted and disconnected from each other, wild nature, and our true nature.

Taking the time to honor transitions from one phase of life into another, or significant events like the loss of a loved one, or a medical diagnosis, can help us gain insight, gather wisdom from the past and see a clearer future. Purpose can emerge and our life can become more meaningful, joyful and aligned with our true nature. It’s a ceremony of connection. One of remembering who we are and what we’re here to do. 

RITE OF PASSAGE STRUCTURE

  • This is where we ask who am I now? What is important for me to let go and acknowledge in order to move forward in my life. It’s the part of the ceremony where we ask what needs to die so I can live more fully, What can I celebrate and give thanks for about where I’ve been. You will be supported in this process by your community and your guides as you really ask yourself: what needs letting go, and what am I calling forward?

  • The threshold phase is the solo/fast phase of the ceremony where you go alone, leaving behind the comforts to be in nature. This is a liminal space…the space between who you have been and who you are becoming. 


  • This is where we bring all that you know and all that you are becoming into the body. Incorporation happens when you reunite with your guides and fellow participants to tell your story. This is a process. It only begins here in our ceremony. Incorporation will continue as you integrate back into your next phase, bringing the gifts you’ve gathered back to your life and your communities.
