WARRIOR RITES OF PASSAGE

OVERVIEW:

Immerse yourself in the ancient wisdom and rites of passage of the Warrior Ethos. Set in Cheaha Resort State Park at the highest point in Alabama, disconnect from the hustle of modern life and delve deeply into the true essence of what it means to be a Warrior. With a fellow tribe of participants, you will embark on transformative challenges and learn proven, human-performance techniques to build resilience, calm, and inner strength.

The 4-day, 4-night experience includes, a self-supported “Hero’s Journey”, best in class mental and physical training, and the powerful Misogi ceremony, a revered Samurai tradition that symbolizes purification and renewal.

This is your chance to experience an authentic rite of passage packed with meaning and purpose that honors the ancient warrior traditions.

You will follow the sequence of:

1. Severance. You conclude your relationship with the old self and show yourself to be a worthy candidate for the passage.

2. Threshold. Begin the trials and “time of testing” on the Sacred Mountain where you leave the old and embrace the new.

3. Incorporation. Return from your quest to bring your new understanding and gifts of the trial back to your people.

This is for you if:

• You are seeking a unique and challenging adventure that will help you grow in mind, body, spirit.

• You find yourself needing to re-focus or realign your life to a more purposeful and meaningful path.

• You are physically fit and excited for long hikes in majestic scenery, going on group runs (up to 6 miles), and doing body weight workouts. The Rites of Passage is challenging but it is not meant to break you down. There will be down time for discussions, class activities, recovery, and of course, amazing food.

• You enjoy camaraderie and being a good teammate to your fellow participants. This means intentionally supporting, listening to, and actively contributing in group discussions and events.
