Awakening the Soul
Initiatory Rites of Passage Explored Through a Recovery Lens
May 8th, 2024 @ 7pm ET
Would you like a new way forward on your recovery journey? A deepening of your experience, a call into your connection with the sacred, a renewed relationship with your recovery story and an understanding of how to use it as medicine to guide your path forward?
Join us for an evening of exploring initiatory rites of passage through the lens of recovery. Hosts Kallie Brown and LeAnne Feliciano will teach you the four phases of a rite of passage (calling, severance, threshold and incorporation) and share where the four phases took place in their personal recovery journeys. You’ll also learn what a medicine story is and how to work with your recovery story as a personal mythology for where you’ve been and where you are going.
Register for free to join us, and feel free to share this event with anyone you think may be interested. We look forward to seeing you around the virtual fire!
*A free recording of the event and follow-up emails will be sent out afterwards to all those who register; you can opt out at any time*

Honoring Grief
A personal & collective responsibility
May 22nd, 2024 @ 7pm ET
Join us for a free evening of poetry & conversations about the various reservoirs of grief that we all carry and how to honor them✨
We live in a culture skewed to the expression of joy and enthusiasm and avoidant of grief and emotions considered “negative”. Grief is as natural a part of the human experience as are all our emotions - just as night is to daylight. Yet grief in our culture is often run underground, hidden behind shame and denial, left to fester in the further recesses of our psyche without the same loving attention and open sharing we offer to our more jubilant emotions.
Unexpressed grief, like all forms of energy, has to move. It searches for a way out of the box in which we have attempted to lock it. Grief needs to be seen and heard, given to dance and song, our experiences of loss acknowledged as profound rites of passage in our lives. Grief is the continued conversation of love.
Circle with us around the virtual fire for this rich conversation with Rites of Passage Council founder Kedar Brown!
