Rites of passage Signalling individual transitions
Description:
Honouring the common events in everyone's unique journey through life. The effect is to enable man to move into the next phase of his life with more conviction.
Context:
An integral part of remodelling celebrational life to give ultimate significance to the life of everyone.
Implementation:
Tactics include: life phases to enable everyone to celebrate the four life stages; passage rites to empower each man to honour transitions marked by an event such as graduation; major decisions to encourage every individual to dramatize life decisions by celebrating them; individual journey to help every individual acknowledge, with celebrations, his unduplicated life; and community evolvement to celebrate the landmarks in the journey of a community. An example is a send-out conversation that would enable a student graduating from high school to realize the transition and embrace the future.
