RITES OF PASSAGE, by Jahlil Shabazz

The earth’s indigenous peoples used sacred rituals to incite, acknowledge, and celebrate transformation. Our rites of passage workshops create a specialized experience that can be tailored to any institution aiming to grow in social, emotional, and cultural intelligence. We utilize team building, personal reflection, group affirmation, and shared value systems in providing a platform for optimal growth. One of our mantras is: “The purpose of life is a life with a purpose.” Our goal in rites of passage is to design the path to purpose.
