Ancient method, modern transformation.

Traditional communities know something the modern world has forgotten; that life is characterised by evolution and change. Change brings challenge, and we’re not supposed to navigate challenge alone. The Rites of Passage Institute teaches tried and tested methods to help schools, organisations, and individuals transform and grow.

What is the Rites of Passage Institute?

We are dedicated to transforming the lives of young people, parents, educators, coaches and communities through carefully designed Rites of Passage experiences. For over 30 years, we’ve been creating programs that foster resilience, empathy, leadership, and connection.

What do you mean by a ‘Rite of Passage’?

A rite of passage is a carefully created experience that marks a transition from one stage of life to another. It helps people step into new roles with clarity and confidence – for example, supporting young people in the transition from child to young adult.

Who are your programs for?

We work with young people, parents, schools, community leaders, individuals and organisations who want to create more meaningful connections, transformational leadership, and healthier futures.

How is your approach different?

Our programs are grounded in decades of research, lived experience, and ancient wisdom, while being designed for the needs of modern families, schools, and communities.
