What is becoming possible
when meeting in space out of time?

What?

In indigenous societies worldwide, rites of passage mark life’s major transitions. At each point, we are invited to consider our contribution to our community. Our rite of passage echoes this process. It asks: Who are you becoming & what do you want to embody in the world? It makes space for your story, woven into the bigger picture.

Who?

​The Rite of Passage is for you if..
..you are at a crossroads or heading towards a threshold
..you want to be clearer about the direction(s) of your life
..you want to meet people who have similar questions
..you want to reconnect with yourself in a communal setting

When & Where?

Our rites of passage are hosted where people call for them. From Hungary to Galicia & the UK - we let our roots down whenever we feel the pull of a place. 

The next rite of passage will be hosted in Spring 2027.
Find more information here soon.

Why?

Our world needs us to be conscious of the shifts we're facing - both in the very intimate & the broader context. Maybe you are feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed, unsure where to start with all the turbulence in the world. Maybe you just have a feeling that there is more to your life than what you are currently doing (or being).
The Rite of Passage gives you space to ask the big questions.

A journey that changes your life

Many of our participants experienced the Rite of Passage as a life-changing event. Read about their experience below and find out more about previous Rites in our field reports (2024, 2025, 2026) & on Sophie's blog.

The Rite of Passage was a space for reflection & rejuvenation. I’m grateful for the chance to step back from everyday craze & lean into deeper connections. What a privilege to deeply examine my questions surrounded by nature, delicious food, & good people.

Frequently Asked Questions..

Is there a participation fee? Yes, we invite participant contributions. The current baseline, which covers all costs incl. accommodation, food, faciliattion & local travel is 750€. We put a lot of thought into finding a regenerative approach to economy. Part of this approach is finding external supporters, and the other part is meeting you where you are with your finances. Contributions don't have to be only of monetary nature. They can include voluntary offers like writing reports, taking pictures or helping in the kitchen. We want to make sure that the Rite of Passage is accessible to all and we’re eager to explore this topic with you.

What will we do? The Rite of Passage is a 7-day journey that invites us into a process of softening, opening, challenging, revealing & celebrating. There will be space for nature relating, embodiment, creativity, group and silent reflection. We also invite our participants to co-create the journey, and meet the local ecosystem (eg. through helping out in the community garden). Get ready for a week full of spaciousness, lightness and depth surrounded by open-minded & -hearted people.

Will there be Wifi? The Rite of Passage is a space of connection, and we conciously invite you to center into connection outside of the digital realm. By signing the sign up form, you agree to a week of digital detox. We can always consider excemptions in case this is urgently needed. There will be emergency phone numbers that will remain available throughout our time together, so that your loved ones can reach you if neccessary.

Should I come alone? There is no straight forward answer to this question! It really depends on where you are in your journey, what you need, how you deine your comfort zone. In general, we love to see when our invitation travels from heart to heart - and as we all join into a very spacious, open, different space than the ones we navigate in our daily lives, this might even be a chance to get to know old friends anew and support each other in our collective evolution.

What's the history of the Rite of Passage? We have been hosting Rites of Passage for 4 years now. Read our articles & reports about the experiences of prior participants. https://www.oasishumanrelations.org.uk/oasis-foundation-after-rite-of-passage-2024-community-the-night-alone-and-back/
