Calling
the Wisdom of the Directions into Your Life
In many spiritual traditions, people begin ceremony and ritual by calling
on different energies and spirits to guide and support them. In
earth-based traditions, the 4 cardinal directions and often the
sky/sun/moon, earth, and our own spirits are called upon. In this
talk, the qualities of the directions are named and suggestions
are made for how to call these energies into everyday life for a
balanced existence.

Safe
Crossing for the Stormy Waters of Adolescence: Modern-day Rites
of Passage for Teens
Cultures throughout history have honoured the crisis of the
passage from childhood to adulthood. They have made the passage easier
through ritualized ways for teens to transform their turmoil into
vision, through tests that release their inner strength. In western
culture, teens often try to recreate these vehicles in dangerous,
unhealthy ways. Rather than honouring teens, western culture fosters
their confusion. Learn why rites of passage are needed and about
programs that fill this cultural void.
