from The Dream Catcher Podcast · host Seline Shenoy

Rites of passage are ritual events commemorating a person's transition from one state of being to another. This could be social or religious, like a graduation or a wedding.  Conventionally, a rite of passage marks the transition between a person's childhood and full inclusion into a social group or tribe, but over time, it has become applicable to other milestones.  Learn about various ancient rites of passage that have been part of human civilization since time immemorial and how we've adapted those in modern times for social and psychological purposes.
