Rite of Passage is a ceremonial celebration marking an important transitional moment in a person’s life. For youth, this is a celebration of transitioning from childhood into adolescence with a stronger sense of self and community. Ventura Wild in collaboration with Thrive Wellness Workshop is offering Stepping Stones, a year-long rite of passage program that guides female-identifying youth through this transition. Each class focuses on the four elements: Air, Fire, Water, and Earth and how these play an important role in our lives. We hold council circles, play games, and explore wild places through crafts and wilderness skills, all while honoring this transformative time in their life.
