Men’s Rites of Passage, 26-30 July, Perth

Posted Thursday 03 June 2010

The Bield retreat centre near Perth is hosting one of the (CAC) Center for Action and Contemplation’s Men’s Rites of Passage on 26-30th July.  This is the first in Scotland and follows on from Richard Rohr’s comments when last in Edinburgh 3 years ago where he expressed the hope that such a week would transpire.

This is not about religion, but about spirituality, about age old traditions that guide men into manhood, about coming to trust that there is something much greater at work in their lives than they could ever imagine. (CAC)

Inspired and devised by Richard Rohr this is 5 days led by C Belden Lane (author, lecturer and storyteller) and experienced elders.  A couple of current and former trustees of Coracle have been to one of these Men’s Rites of Passage weeks and benefitted greatly from them.

PS We would recommend Belden Lane’s book The Solace of Fierce Landscapes writen about the spirituality of the desert experience.
