When we celebrate life's changes, they become our greatest opportunities. The heartfelt and timely message of Rites of Passage, co-authored by ITP core faculty member Kathleen Wall, is that we can navigate the challenges and changes of life with grace. When we harness the energy of transition, we take control over our experiences and develop a deeper understanding of them.

Every major transition in our lives--be it marriage, high school graduation, the death of a parent or spouse, or the last child leaving home--brings with it opportunities for growth and self-actualization, for repositioning ourselves in the world. "Rites of Passage" allows us to use the energy held within the anxiety of change to nourish the new person who is forever struggling to be born.
