Thank you Moe! As one of the older Souls in the group, with a daughter at the teen stage this is an interesting read. Having lived in a Indig community for 10 years, my daughter brought into this world by a friend, mother of 5 and descendent of Mabo, I have read a little about traditional paths to initiation from child, teen, early adult/warrior, adult teacher/elder / sage... Our understanding, and teaching of deep cultural resistance to Empire is core, entwined with developing the strong human threads of empathy, responsibility, community and more ... The child rebel, The warrior, guided. The wise elder. This is spirit to me!

"...the ritual into adulthood is not marked by getting lit on vodka cruisers but by embracing the wisdom of those who have walked before us" Seems so obvious yet there was never a figure there to present another way or to speak to the importance of these transitions. Love this article. Thanks Moe
