  RECOMMENDED EXPERIENCES

  Nothing beats the instant and inarguable feedback of raw experience for learning to trust your own deep clarity and for building the matrix needed to bring you through a rite of passage into adulthood. I feel glad to tell you that my list of individuals and groups providing authentic elements of next culture rite of passage is growing too fast these days to list in a book. Instead we collect them on several websites.
