A powerful weekend of Rites of Passage for adult men.
Take a step deeper into your life while being held within intergenerational community

This is a powerful program for any man with an interest in rites of passage, transition and the stages of life, whether in relation to himself, his family or his community. If you choose, this is also the way to become more involved with the facilitation of Tracks’ programmes and to begin to learn how to formulate rites of passage effectively for modern boys and young men.

You can make a difference just as you are: your doubts, anxieties and concerns are all the stuff of living, modern manhood.

This embodied training gives participants the opportunity to:

  • Learn about and experience the components of a Rite of Passage

  • Become familiar with the Tracks framework

  • Gain communication and group work skills

  • Understand the developmental tasks of adolescence

  • Look at how to support young people today

This gathering is run by the Rites Of Passage Foundation (ROPF) in Golden Bay, of which Bear Heart attends as a co-facilitator. ROPF and Tracks has been bringing community led wilderness Rites of Passage programs to Aotearoa for over 24 years.
