We do not go into the desert to escape
people but to learn how to find them:
we do not leave them in order to have
nothing more to do with them,
but to find out the way
to do them the most good.

Petra Lentz Snow Re-wild Interview from School of Lost Borders on Vimeo.
In this interview, Petra gives us an in-depth look into the purpose and process of rites of passage, both naturally-occurring and intentionally sought out ceremonies, such as guided vision fasts. She takes us through the many different types of rites of passage, discusses why crisis is crucial for growth and shares about the role of the natural world in rite of passage.
