05 Passage to Manhood with Craig Glass

Has the erosion of rites of passage adversly impacted men in Western culture? Craig Glass thinks so. “The boys in the village must be initiatedor they will burn down the villagejust to feel the heat.” - Kenyan ProverbOur culture is desperate for men who leave a legacy of blessing rather than a wake of destruction. Looking back on his own life, Craig began to ask the questions: “Am I a man? What is a man anyway?” Recognizing the lack of initiation into adulthood in his own life and the men with whom he worked, Craig began a program which recast traditional practices into a modern rite of passage for fathers and sons in the mountains of Colorado. If you have a young man in your life, you won't want to miss this powerful episode.*Special thanks to Caleb Buck for sharing his Bar Mitzvah experience and to Mendy & Avi Piamenta for the use of their Bar Mitzvah Song.Music and arrangement for the song If by Deb Gregory is based on the Rudyard Kipling poem by the same name. www.betwixtpodcast.com 'r2up8tnv'
