Men Reflect on Why They Took the Rites of Passage

Our goal with these blog posts is to assist men considering the Rites by sharing with them the thinking, reflecting and discernment process of the men that already took the Rites. The decision to take the rights is a serious one and it can take time. Their stories will help you in your own discernment process. These men prayed and reflected before making the decision. The Men's Rites of Passage was a profound and life changing experience in their lives.

A Powerful and Engaging Spiritual Experience

Having followed the spiritual journey of Fr. Richard Rohr for many years (since the '70's) I was intrigued to learn of his interest in male initiation. I had been involved in men's spirituality for some years myself and had participated in preparing an initiation for young men. When the opportunity came up to participate in an initiation experience I was excited and most open to going. The event did not disappoint me. It is a powerful and engaging spiritual experience that has continued to have its impact on me, some 3 years after the event.
