Purpose. Self-Confidence. Clear Life Direction. Strong Social Connections.
For millennia, our ancestors marked young men’s transition into adulthood through well-planned and challenging rites of passage.
Rites of passage initiations were never just a formality or a threshold.
One way or another—people find ways to initiate ourselves into adulthood—or, alternately, life finds ways to initiate us.
In this age of disconnection and overstimulation, where depression, social anxiety, academic struggles, and a lack of belonging are rampant among young men and boys, the obstacles to their healthy development are massive, and for parents, these challenges can seem insurmountable.
Journeymen's Rites Of Passage Adventure Weekend is an opportunity for teenage boys to initiate their journey into adulthood consciously within a strong community of men who are committed to their potential.
Enrollment is open for both adult male staff and teen initiates ages 12-17 for our 2025 Fall Rites Of Passage Adventure Weekend. Please contact us for more information or to enroll, or visit journeymenasheville.org/programs/rites-of-passage/
