Ritual #7 - Character Trait Ceremony aka Ribbon Ceremony

In episode #13 of the Milestone to Manhood Podcast, Dave and Steven talk about the Ribbon Ceremony. Virtue is not something developed in isolation - it's something that we learn from others. It's also important to not hide your son from the fact that no man is perfect, and we all have character defects that we can improve on. The Ribbon Ceremony is designed to manifest this 'taking' of positive character traits from the group of men, while also making a conscious effort to 'burn away' our negative character traits. The Ribbon Ceremony is one of the most powerful rituals of the weekend and is a great exercise in self reflection, both for the boy and the men on the trip.
