<p>What does it really mean to come of age? Across cultures, rites of passage once marked the sacred transition into adulthood—guiding young people through challenge, initiation, and community support. But in today’s world, these traditions have been lost, leaving many to seek validation through risk-taking and unhealthy behaviors.</p><p>In this powerful episode, I sit down with <strong>Nicky Wilkes</strong> to explore why reviving rites of passage is urgent—especially for young men. We discuss how structured initiation fosters resilience, purpose, and connection, and why now, more than ever, we must reclaim this lost wisdom.</p><p>Join us as we uncover the deep impact of mentorship, sacred transitions, and how we can create meaningful initiations for the next generation. <strong>It’s time to bring back the rituals that shape strong, grounded, and conscious adults.</strong></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p><a href="https://ritesofpassageinstitute.org/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Rites of Passage Institute</a></p><p><a href="https://journeymen.us/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Journeymen - Inspiring the Men of Tomorrow</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/journeymen/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG:@Journeymen</a></p><p><a href="https://nickywilks.com/links/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nicky Wilks Website</a></p><p><a href="https://www.mosaicvoices.org/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michael Meade</a></p><p><a href="https://www.illuman.org/mrop" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Men's Rites of Passage - Illuman</a></p><p><strong>Books:</strong></p><p><a href="https://richardlouv.com/books/last-child" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Last Child in the Woods</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Making-Men-Raising-healthy-successful/dp/1922057312" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Making of Men</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Four-Fold-Way-Walking-Warrior-Visionary/dp/0062500597/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OMumDhatftqM00KuwBf4-pX4M7xj5T08626-6v10bnaRxIsOqpI4hmbcbxgAjIqSO1RVRHaB6shz6-yek5aSxayn-X8UhMbvAzMMfsAvdAWeBVyO-yFZS_dfeq1-3Sqz3ZhXkbkufwwtstf4MqsEN45JB1NOoLTpTenyZsre8LxzZIPnJuiPQLxuZSVAiutG.V7WvhibpHISblc6OdkSDyDTyVzPBibYJ7_zymo16Zvw&dib_tag=se&hvadid=693733059798&hvdev=c&hvexpln=67&hvlocphy=1027691&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=5744893392125072327--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=5744893392125072327&hvtargid=kwd-759311698072&hydadcr=8237_13500794&keywords=four+fold+way+book&mcid=103aa58680fb3cf08611b08592ec228a&qid=1741161954&sr=8-1" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Four Fold Way</a></p><p><strong>Connect with us:</strong></p><p>Amber’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sacred.rite/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG:@Sacred.rite</a></p><p><a href="https://earthwisemothering.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Earthwise Mothering</a></p><p>Nicky’s <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pcp5r5Pt4eRJK04__dmOWCFCxhSB2QFqn3hJ87UIEaM/edit?tab=t.0" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IG:@nickywilks</a></p><p><a href="https://nickywilks.com/links/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nicky Wilks Website</a></p><p><strong>Podcast Music & Art:</strong></p><p>Satori Ki's IG:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/satori_ki/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @satori_ki</a></p><p>Album:<a href="https://satoriki.bandcamp.com/album/the-passage" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Passage</a></p><p>Kate Graham's IG:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/starkissedkate/#" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @starkissedkate</a></p><p><a href="https://starkissedstudio.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Star Kissed Studio</a><br /></p>
