Life Rites



"After we have participated in a  Rite of Passage, the energy is transferred into our own bodies.  The prayers and energy which adhere, are carried over  to that part of our lives that symbolically corresponds or harmonizes  with the spirit of the passage."

Traditional Life Rites, or Rites of Passage, ceremonies have long been the foundation of mental health in Native American culture.  By honoring each momentous event in our lives, we are filled with a sense of empowerment and connection that carries us in our times of challenge.  Yraceburu EarthWisdom is happy to be able to present these ceremonies.
