Resilience, Love, Regeneration
Time connecting with wild nature and in community is indispensable. We need your support to continue providing this valuable work.
We all need tools to support our capacity for resilience and love, for action and resistance, for inner and outer regeneration. This is why the School of Lost Borders exists!
We are refining our work with questions like:
What do the people need?
What does the ceremony look like today?
Is it different from what it used to be?
How can we protect the teachings of our elders while meeting the changing inquiries of our participants?
What is the best path toward greater diversity of participants, guides, and leadership?
How can we do better?
What we ask you to support today is this continuing inquiry, so that as an organization we may do the deep listening required to be of service in these changing times.
From the very beginning, the School has refused to shy away from the hard questions. Nor has it presumed to provide individuals with answers to their deepest explorations.
What we do offer is to hold the space for ceremonies that have stood the test of time, helping life and culture to regenerate; to act as midwives during the transitional times of the human lifespan; to cultivate a new sense of self, for both the organization and all those who participate in our programs.
We come to you with our whole hearts and ask you to help us keep this vital work alive in what continue to be difficult times.
OUR LEGACY
Thanks to our generous donors and scholarship program, it has been possible for applicants to participate in all of our programs, no matter the financial challenge.
The numbers below are collected since the School of Lost Borders was established as a non-profit in 2008. However, the School has supported many, many more, since its inception in 1981.
Please help us continue our legacy of accessibility and decades of meaningful rites of passage.
