Comments from participants:
This program is the only way to get men to take stock of what they are doing and be wither proud of it or fix it before it is too late. David

I have never seen this type of course offered before. Hearing the stories of other men is helpful. It was good to learn about women. Not an exact science. Rodney

Thank you, this is an area with little or no coaching available to fathers. Definitely needed and wanted. Geoff .

RITES OF PASSAGE - Celebrating the Cycles of Life

This is an evening experiential journey for parents. It is for those who would like to find out about, or include aspects of Rites of Passage experiences into their family and community life.

Comments from participants:
Experiential work is easier to absorb rather than intellectualising about it. Amrita Hobbs, TEACHER!!! Understatement! Guides, helps, respects individuality in life's rich tapestry. Highly recommended.

Expected a list of sample Rites from other cultures and possible resources regarding our lost rites. Received, to my delight, a personal and edifying journey and a new resolution in my life.

Amrita is a skilled facilitator with a passion for her subject. I expected to sit in a row of people and be talked to. In fact I participated in a very valuable ritual.

Amrita is real, soft and accepting. She encourages us to be ourselves and express ourselves. I loved the group ritual and connections with others and hearing their story.

I sincerely enjoyed this course in all its facet. The content was honorable delivered, experiential and of great healing to me personally. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone and everyone.
