Rite of Passage Journeys is a not-for-profit organization in the civic and social sector that offers intentional rites of passage experiences through guided wilderness retreats and adventures, along with education and training for leaders in schools, organizations, churches, and individual settings. Its programs, designed for children, teens, and adults, aim to foster self-discovery, community, and a connection with the natural world, addressing personal development and collective understanding. Based in Bothell, Washington, the organization was established in 1968 and operates with a focus on integrity and meaningful engagement with human values and the earth, serving a nationwide audience through both experiential programs and consulting services. In addition to retreats, Rite of Passage Journeys provides rite of passage education, helping clients with program design and leadership development to support sustained, nature-centered experiences. A recent development noted in its communications is the launch of a nature-connection series exploring topics such as fire-by-friction and avian language, signaling an expansion of its educational offerings.
