Participants Views on the Young Adult Fast
“The biggest highlight for me is that it actually worked! Giving my heart to this ceremony continues to work its magic to this day. It brought irreplaceable value, clarity & beauty to all areas of my life. YA ROP continues to be my anchor and point of reference when I feel lost or doubtful. This ceremony is what laid the groundwork and planted vital seeds to my inner garden. One that invites me to consistently tend and listen. Many seeds have blossomed, some are growing roots, and a few are patiently awaiting their season.”

“The Coming of Age vision fast with School of Lost Borders changed my life. It is a hard time to be a young person—nothing feels certain and finding one’s roots and place on Earth can sometimes seem impossible… Through support from the incredible guides, teachings from the desert, and my time in solitude, I was shown that I have the capacity for finding deep belonging and groundedness in the natural world, in my community, and within myself. “

“We young people need invitations in our own lives to understand how these times are really initiating us as humanity to be more awake, aware, caring, and responsible for ourselves, our people and the Earth.”
