Initiating youth into a space where they begin to source their strength, safety, and sense of self from within...something that most of us don't get around to doing till later in life - if even ever.

Our culture really lacks rites of passage where we get to mark major transitions into adulthood - into a space where we begin to take responsibility for how we move in the world - with heartfelt purpose - and are held accountable.

The darkness creates a space where we don't have the pressures and overlays of our culture and can exist outside of our normal way of being and engaging in the world. This allows a new space within us to birth to which we get to assign our own true meaning.

Keahi, who is 12 years old, was visiting last week and got the chance to connect with a couple of dark retreatants who had recently emerged. He was inspired, completely on his own, to experience the darkness for himself.

There is nothing more precious to us than seeing all these kids witness the power and beauty of initiation, transformation, ritual, ceremony, and communion and feel moved, on their own accord, to participate, create and continue weaving their magical imaginations into our world of work and play.
