Reprogram Your Life’s Rite of Passage series:
The Reprogram Your Life Rite of Passage series is designed for young people
between the ages of 12 to 18. There are "Rites" for boys to allow them to
cross over to manhood and for girls who cross over into womanhood. Rites of
Passage are always gender specific. The Light and Living Series' "Rites of
Passage" are founded upon the spiritual laws of the universe while taking into
consideration the cultural dynamics of each individual. In this way the
instruction and ceremony can be culturally specific as well as culturally
adaptable to fit the needs of diverse populations. It is a celebration of
accomplishment and transition set in tradition but is also a fun experience.
The life and learning experience of each participant is acknowledged; the process
coaches cultural and self exploration; provides life-skills training; facilitates
dialogue and bonding; and creates opportunities for the integration of all aspects
of life. It culminates in a 'cross-over' ceremony, attended by family, friends and
well wishers. The festive occasion heralds the young woman's passage from adolescence
into womanhood.

What is "Rites of Passage"?
Rites Of Passage is a combination of instruction, integrative learning and
culturally appropriate rituals to empower young people to move from one stage
of development to another. These ranges of experiences equip young people
with the information and skills to be successful in adult life. The course of
instructions culminates into a spiritual "cross-over" ceremony celebrating the
transition from childhood into adulthood.
Young people who go through rites of passage emerge with the knowledge of who
they are. They are schooled in the laws of the universe; explore and engage their
culture; and are gently and joyously coached to make them ready to uncover and
fulfill their destiny. They are empowered to take charge of their lives and to
become community builders. It is the right of every human being to transition
from one stage of development into the next equipped with knowledge, information,
cultural traditions and self-determination to function successfully at the next
level. For adolescence the "Rite" is the passage from childhood into adulthood.
