Podcasts about rites of passage

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Siân Marie Pilkington. Siân is The Wild Mama who has raised her babies and has landed shakti-based, goddess-devoted, and in service to the taboos of blood, birth, sexuality and death. A queer celt, Magdalene, radical birth worker, herbalist, and ceremonialist, she guides femmes back to the Great Mother, blending primal intelligence with embodied, Earth-honoring magic.  Siân now works purposefully to decolonize the rites of passage we've been taught to fear, reclaiming birth, postpartum, eros, and endings as sacred. Mentoring doulas and space holders in altered states, ecstatic birth, and collaborative community care, her work is a love letter to those ready to remember, rewild, and bring initiations home. In this beautiful episode about death we explore Siân's sacred and unique perspective around miscarriage as a natural, ancient healing ‘rite of passage' - rather than the taboo, over-clinicalised, sanitised, dissociative experience it can be created as by our world.  Sharing the healing transformation she was able to reclaim from her own miscarriage, and the ancient wisdom passed down from elders, Siân shines a light on the interconnectedness of grief and initiation - and the role of ritual and ceremony in alchemy.  Providing practical advice on holistic practices, herbs and remedies to support healing, she illuminates the powerful remedy that can be found (for us all) in learning how to see and hear ourselves and share our stories - touching on shame, rage and grief - and how the witch can help heal the societal avoidance of death and grief. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Miscarriage is over-sanitised in our patriarchal culture - which has it commonly not seen as the significant ‘peak experience' and transformative rite of passage that it can be, similar to live childbirth and other life transitions Miscarriage can be a deeply emotional and spiritual journey where we learn how to meet ourselves, face and process intense emotions, including grief and loss - and even pleasure - yet it is also often seen as ‘taboo' and shameful Left alone, and if we can allow ourselves to sit patiently, whilst allowing everything to move through us, the body has a natural wisdom in how to process miscarriage - and we can attune to our bodies to navigate this.  We are broken in the process - we are giving birth to death - and, often, it is also the path to reclaiming our wisdom. If we have had an over-clinicalised miscarriage, we can still journey with reclaiming this rite of passage - this threshold - through ritual and ceremony, reclaiming parts of ourselves that have felt lost to this process. Telling our story - and being seen and held in sisterhood - is a deeply crucial step in our healing journey, for personal closure. Sharing it with others also offers a remedy for them, too. We are remedies for those like us.

Fire has long been a revered force,  respected for its ceremonial holding, practical contribution to feeding, sterilising, warming, lighting and yarning around. These days though, few of us interact with fire regularly despite it connecting us to our ancestors and gently reminding us of what it means to be human.  Off the back of tragic circumstances when he was just 16, todays guest Cade Mcconnell, intentionally side stepped the drug fuelled, party filled scene that often lures late teens early 20 year men and instead went in search of what it meant to be a man. He found instead, ceremonial fires, yoga, men's circles, his feelings and what it means to operate in an intentional and sacred way.He's built his life around this way of being and in todays conversation we scratch below the mere mention of things like vision quests and sacred weddings and really unpack what it is to move through the world like this. For Cade - much of this begins with food, where it was grown it, how its prepared, who shares it and he says that by giving himself the git of making food intentional, it has rewritten his story and the rhythm of his life.As a retreat caterer, who uses claypots for his cooking Cade says this way of preparing food is fundamentally about being in relationship with plants, clay and fire which is also the name of his book.His mission is to bring a little earth into every kitchen.Support the ShowCasual Support - Buy Me A CoffeeRegular Support - PatreonBuy the Book - Futuresteading - live like tomorrow matters, Huddle - creating a tomorrow of togethernessPod Partners Rock: Australian Medicinal Herbs We talked about:Rites of passage for young menClaypot cookingCreating more ceremony in our lifeHolding our loved ones to accountGiving ourselves permission to take the time needed to create nourishing, love filled foodMens circles and how they impact our living patternsBuilding sacred communitiesThe impact of suicideThe value of counselling pre marriageWhy its important to build a strong foundation of trust and love for yourself before you offer this to another in marriageSupport the show

Across cultures, rites of passage often honor a transition from one cycle of life to another. On today's show, three Nashvillians share their own experiences and how it felt entering a new stage of life. From performing a bat mitzvah to living as a Buddhist monk — and even undergoing a "croning" — each of these ceremonies left an impact on our guests. Join us as we learn how different cultures mark these milestones.This episode was produced by Char Daston and Josh Deepan. GUESTS: Zoe Sparks — Hume Fogg '29 Debi Young — Interfaith Celebrant Stefanie Kisselburg — Administrative Professional Don Srisuryo — MTSU Student Engagement Coordinator

In this powerful episode of the Evolution of Medicine podcast, James Maskell sits down with Tasha Blank—DJ, movement catalyst, and founder of Powerhouse DJ School—to explore how dance, music, and embodiment can be powerful tools for healing and nervous system regulation. For over a decade, Tasha has pioneered sober-conscious dance events that remove movement from the club scene and place it back into the realm of sacred, intentional expression. Her story is one of personal transformation, community leadership, and deep inquiry into how we heal—physically, emotionally and culturally. Tune in to learn about: How dance and embodiment shifted Tasha's relationship with her body and launched a decade-long journey of transformation. The health crisis in her late teens that forced her to look beyond conventional medicine and into nutrition, movement and energy work. A pandemic-fueled identity deconstruction that led to unexpected healing through metabolic, animal-based nutrition—and opened questions around gender, body image and healing. The launch of Powerhouse DJ School and teaching others to use music and dance as vehicles for transformation. The philosophy behind sober dance spaces and how reclaiming movement as medicine can heal individuals and communities. This episode is a must-listen for anyone exploring somatic healing, community-based transformation, and new paradigms for health that go far beyond prescriptions and protocols.

In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative power of ritual and how it serves as a pathway to reclaiming personal sovereignty, reconnecting with nature, and realigning with our natural rhythms. Ritual is more than just a practice—it is a remembering, a way to root back into our own inner authority and intuition. Whether through daily sacred moments or full ceremonial experiences, rituals help us break free from societal conditioning, honor the wisdom of the earth, and cultivate a more intentional, empowered life. We'll explore how integrating ritual into your life can support deep healing, self-trust, and a profound sense of belonging.Watch here: https://youtu.be/1bOsfSHvcPY  

Navigating Transformation in an Ever-Changing World Imagine a world where every transition—birth, death, heartbreak, coming of age, leadership, spiritual awakening—was honored with deep intention, belonging, and community. That world is not lost. It lives in the echoes of our ancestors—and in the choices we make today. In this solo episode of The Awaken Podcast, Natasja invites you on a profound exploration of Rites of Passage—timeless ceremonial frameworks that guide us through the liminal spaces of transformation. As modern life accelerates, we are asked to remember: our milestones matter. Whether through ancient initiations or psychedelic journeys, rites of passage offer us mirrors, maps, and meaning.

Send us a textIn this episode, Elyse gets real with a bit of a bolder coming out conversation with Enfys J Book, bestselling author of Queer Qabalah and their newest book, Queer Rites. We discuss the importance of rites of passage, almost lost from our modern world, and how important they are to infuse into our magical practices and traditions. We also go deep on the challenges of cis presenting queer people (Elyse is raising her hand here) and the importance of shining bright even when it feels scary. Enfys J. Book (they/them) is the author of the Gold COVR award-winning Queer Qabala, co-author (with Ivo Dominguez, Jr.) of Sagittarius Witch, and author of the forthcoming Queer Rites: A Magickal Grimoire to Honor Your Milestones with Pride (Llewellyn, 2025). They are the High Priest of the Fellowship of the Ancient White Stag coven near Washington, DC. Enfys has taught classes on magickal practice around the world. They are also the creator of majorarqueerna.com, a website devoted to queer magickal practice with a focus on Qabala, and host a podcast called "4 Quick Q's: Book Talk with Enfys," where they interview pagan authors using questions determined by a roll of the dice. Enfys and their books can be found at https://majorarqueerna.com/ 

Welcome all! I'm really excited to introduce you to Enfys J. Book on the Becoming podcast today.  I came across Enfys' new book Queer Rites:  A Magickal Grimoire to Honor Your Milestones with Pride in a random search for other folks who were just as nerdy about rites of passage as I am.  I really loved getting to know them and the conversation we had was just so rich.   In this episode, Enfys and I touch on: > The lack of rites of passage for queer folk, and how deeply gendered so many of our "traditional" rites of passage are > How rites of passage are like "anchors to the self."  I love the way Enfys described this > The name change ritual that inspired Enfys to write Queer Rites > The pros and cons of labeling our identities, and how we can get more comfortable with the ways in which our identities evolve and change as we do > What makes a ritual "work" and be effective > How queer rites of passage are an act of resistance  

In this episode of the Ordinary Discipleship Podcast, Chris, Jacob, and Jessie dive into a topic many avoid—how to navigate the endings of discipleship relationships. While the beginning of a mentoring journey is often exciting, knowing when and how to conclude a season of discipleship can be challenging.Together, they explore these key questions:How do you discern when a discipleship relationship should change or end?What does a healthy, fruitful ending look like?How can you redefine the relationship without losing the good work God has done?With personal stories and practical wisdom, Jessie shares insights on recognizing when a season is shifting and the importance of marking endings with intentionality—what she calls a "rite of passage." Whether you're a seasoned disciplemaker or just beginning, this conversation will equip you to navigate these transitions with grace and clarity.

I'm always quite reflective around my birthday and this episode was recorded only a few days after my 40th. So you'll hear musings on: rites of passage; why I suspect the point of being human may actually be relationship; how posturing and collapse both lead to burnout; the possible connection between being risk averse and not experiencing unconditional belonging; why a linear concept of progress might support us thinking we can avoid consequences… and how that seems to catch up to us in midlife; why learning to steward consequence might be necessary to feeling at home in our bodies and the world;…and, of course, more. As always, I welcome hearing what you think.With love,KateP.S.

Today's subject matter is so slippery and mysterious that even my guest, Dr Maya Ward, finds it hard to describe, though she's swimming in it. It concerns the aliveness of rivers and the rivers inside us; the nature of reality and realms invisible yet objectively real. It's about catching the whispers and shouts of the world with pen and paper. It's shamanic, ecstatic and emphatically esoteric. It's bloody wild – and I suggest bringing your passport because the places this convo will take you are far out. But also, deep within. If you love all things complex, paradoxical and perspective-shifting, I dedicate this episode to you

What are the rites of passage from childhood that kids today won't experience?

As you guys may have heard on my episode 200 solo cast last week, my favorite part of this podcast is meeting individuals that once I meet, I truly have no idea how I've gone my whole life not knowing. The truth is that the relationships in our life are designed to act as mirrors, allowing us to see the beauty in individuality & also to see ourselves in ways we otherwise couldn't. Today's guest on the show is a man who fits all the aforementioned details to a T. He is a certified psychedelic medicine practitioner, is a microdosing psilosopher (great pun by the way) & is the founder of entheosholistics, which is a company dedicated to reconnecting its customers & clients to their grateful nature through Fungi based nutraceutical microdoses. In this episode, we let the divine take the lead & our intention is that this episode opens you up to some new perspectives & leaves you feeling more connected to your higher self than ever before. This episode was produced by Mazel Tov Media.https://www.highlyoptimized.me/coachwithcannabis https://www.highlyoptimized.me

Drawing from her own Shamanic journey and those of others, Kaye explores the profound distinction between Initiation and Rites of Passage—two interconnected stages of a single transformative journey. In today’s fast-paced world, the inner landscapes of unseen journeys are often forgotten, leading to confusion and a fragmented sense of self. Kaye delves into how understanding these spiritual landscapes empowers us to navigate the bridge between Initiation—a time of intense, deeper learning and connection with Soul, Source, and Self—and the Rite of Passage, an alchemical experience of integration and transformation. Discover how these experiences disintegrate and reintegrate us into new expressions of life, offering profound growth and alignment. This episode offers insights into reclaiming the forgotten wisdom of modern-day spiritual evolution.

Hello beautiful ones! The Becoming Podcast is returning after a somewhat unplanned hiatus, brought to you by Getting Pneumonia A Week After Launching My Book! But here we are again, and I couldn't be more delighted to be welcoming Carmen Spagnola as my first guest of 2025.  Carmen has been a friend, colleague and teacher of mine for many years now, and she has just released her latest book, Spells for the Apocalypse:  Practical Magic for Turbulent Times, and, given the events of the past few weeks in our world, the timing of this important work couldn't be more auspicious. Before I dive in, let me tell you a little bit about Carmen: Carmen teaches about animism, folk magic, witchcraft, ritual and ancestral knowledge related to land and seasons.  She cross-pollinates somatics, attachment, collapse awareness, intersectional feminism, and kinship with the More Than Human in her work as a trauma resolution practitioner.  Carmen is the author of The Spirited Kitchen:  Recipes and Rituals for the Wheel of the Year, which teaches folklore and spellcraft for the solstices, equinoxes, and half-way points between, based on her training in culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu Paris.  Carmen's professional study includes extensive training in hypnotherapy, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic psychology, mood and personality disorder support, and client-centred assistance for neurodivergent adults, youth, and their caregivers.  She is constantly researching current promising practices to provide psychoemotional care and nervous system reconditioning support for people with chronic or episodic disability, with special attention to autoimmunity, dysautonomia, and long COVID.  She holds provider certifications for Dynamic Attachment Re-Patterning, The Safe and Sound Protocol, Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercise, The Resilience Toolkit, and Clinical Hypnotherapy.  Her spiritual healing repertoire includes numerous certificates spanning a twenty-five year exploration of trance work, regression therapy, energy work, shamanistic practices, systemic constellations, divination, herbalism, kitchen witchery, cultural conservation and ancestral veneration practices, and wilderness quest. Here's some of what we talk about in this episode: What is collapse – both personal and collective.  Carmen beautifully names the thing that we all know, now, in our bones, to be true. The power of ritual to soothe, mobilize and transform us when there's nothing else you can *do* in the face of predicament and chaos How Carmen's new book, Spells for the Apocalypse, supports us to feel more skillful, resourced and resilient in times of personal and collective collapse The "gift and the task" of Carmen's personal Quest experience – aka, the promise it would kill her to break How Carmen is coping with grief and rage these days.  This is the question Carmen asks everyone on her podcast, the Numinous Podcast, and I was really keen to turn her own question back to her.  As she always does, even in the deeply challenging times she's experiencing right now, Carmen models how we might work with grief and rage in meaningful and supportive ways. Carmen and I talk about so, so much more, including our shared experiences of going on Quest, the rituals I did during my own personal time of collapse, what happens when an animist moves to a different ecosystem, and more. I hope you love listening to this episode with Carmen as much as I loved recording it with her!

Thomas Hübl is joined by renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, Michael Meade. They discuss transformation as an essential element of life, and how embracing radical transformation—both personally and as a collective—allows us to get in touch with our deeper selves. Michael draws on his knowledge of ancient rites of passage, mythology, and initiation rituals to help define the liminal space humanity finds itself in right now. As we stand on a cultural and environmental threshold, we have a choice: either let go of our egos and open our wounds to be cleansed and healed, or resist change and remain disconnected from life, death, and nature itself. He and Thomas also explore what it means to be an elder across different cultures, how seemingly apocalyptic turmoil is really a lifting of the veil, and the divine value of stepping into the unknown. ✨ NEW Self-Paced Course from Thomas Hübl: Navigating the Levels of Trauma Healing ✨ A 6-module online training to manage anxiety, overwhelm, and nervous system dysregulation during times of accelerated change and disruption.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy explores the power of words and their impact on children, emphasizing the importance of speaking life and affirmation rather than criticism. As the year winds down, she discusses the significance of choosing a "word of the year," highlighting Merriam-Webster's selection of "Polarization" for 2024. Dr. Kathy unpacks the meaning of polarization, defined as division, and how understanding such words can guide children amid cultural shifts.

Ever feel like your body is a stranger to you? Like you're plagued with insecurity, can't find peace in your relationships? What if it's because we're running away from part of who we are, and we haven't been able to honor who God made us to be? Christy Bauman, a licensed therapist, noticed in her counseling that her clients often didn't have a clear identity or were able to articulate who they were. So she invites us on a journey of recovering rites of passage—where we honor sacred moments in our lives, honor our birthright, honor who God made us to be. We honor the good and the bad; we lament what is lost but we celebrate what we've achieved. And when we're able to do these things, we can finally be comfortable in our own skin!

He leads Agoge, a coaching company that empowers individuals to pursue their potential by developing strength, confidence, and leadership.

He discussed the Squire program, a transformative rite of passage for young men that Nick personally embraced by guiding his nephew through it, highlighting the crucial need for positive male role models in young boys' lives. The conversation evolved to address the challenges of modern parenting, particularly the tendency to overprotect children at the expense of their personal growth and resilience. This led to a broader discussion about the importance of generational wisdom transfer and traditional rites of passage, with both hosts emphasizing the need for parents to create environments where children can develop both physically and emotionally through facing and overcoming challenges. www.thedadedge.com/502 www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.nickkoumalatsos.com www.thedadedge.com/squire  

This week on Depths of Motherhood, we explore the journey of men's rites of passage and also the transition into fatherhood. While much of our podcast centers on women's rites of passage, today's conversation shifts the focus to men—our partners, fathers, sons, and friends. This topic is raw, relevant, and deeply necessary for everyone, especially those raising boys, partnering with men, or seeking to build deeper relationships with men in their lives. Our guest, Dan Doty, a leader in the global men's movement, shares his heartfelt insights into the healing journey of men. Through his work as a writer, wilderness guide, and meditation teacher, Dan has guided thousands of men in reconnecting with their true selves, their families, and their communities.

There is one thing that connects the disparate generations of Americans: books. This episode of the Velshi Banned Book Club will look at two novels that don't just capture the spirit of growing up but punctuate chapters in an American student's life: “Bridge to Terabithia” by Katherine Paterson and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky. These books are frequently assigned in English classrooms across the county, and if they're not, they're passed from friend to friend. They are rites of passage in their own right. These books don't share plot, characters, or scenery, but they both prove how serious childhood is, how painful growing up can be, and just how "adult" a topic a young person can handle.

Dan Smith, founder of Voyage Rites, discusses the importance of rites of passage for boys and the role of fathers in guiding their sons into manhood. He shares his journey of realizing the need for a father's presence in the home and his commitment to being a more intentional father. Dan explains that rites of passage provide boys with a clear picture of their future as men and help them navigate the physical and mental changes of puberty. He emphasizes the need for positive male role models and intentional fatherhood in today's society. In this conversation, Dan Smith discusses the importance of rites of passage for boys and their impact on their development into manhood. He emphasizes the need for fathers to be present and intentional in their role, providing positive male affirmation and guidance. He also highlights the negative impacts of misguided rites of passage, such as fraternity initiations, and the importance of community in supporting boys and fathers throughout the process. He outlines the developmental stages at which rites of passage can be introduced and their benefits to both boys and the world. Takeaways Rites of passage provide boys with a clear picture of their future as men and help them navigate the physical and mental changes of puberty. Positive male role models and intentional fatherhood are crucial in guiding boys into manhood. Rites of passage should involve conversations with the mother, planning a sacred space, and providing additional responsibilities for the boy after the initiation. Fathers should understand that they don't have to be perfect, but their heart and intentionality in raising their sons matter the most. Rites of passage can have a profound impact on boys, shaping them into confident and responsible men. Fathers need to be present and intentional in their role, providing positive male affirmation and guidance to their sons. Misguided rites of passage, such as fraternity initiations, can have negative impacts and perpetuate unhealthy behaviors. Community plays a crucial role in supporting boys and fathers throughout the rites of passage process. Rites of passage should be introduced at key developmental stages, such as eight years old, puberty, 16, and 18, to help boys transition into manhood. The benefits of rites of passage extend beyond boys and fathers, positively impacting women, relationships, and society as a whole.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Overview 02:22 The Importance of Father's Presence in the Home 07:37 The Significance of Rites of Passage 09:29 Creating a Clear Picture of Manhood 18:15 The Role of Fathers and the Pressure to be Perfect 21:16 Success Story: Impact of Rites of Passage 25:31 Practices and Process of Rites of Passage 27:16 The Importance of Fathers in Rites of Passage 30:57 Negative Impacts of Misguided Rites of Passage 35:27 The Role of Community in Rites of Passage 38:12 Key Developmental Stages for Rites of Passage 48:25 The Benefits of Rites of Passage for Women and Society   Dan Smith Links: Website: https://www.voyagerites.com/ Community: https://www.skool.com/the-voyagers-4356/about Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/voyage_rites/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Voyage-Rites/61555529263370/ Twitter: https://x.com/voyagerites   Free eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook   ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️ https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights
