RITES OF PASSAGE PROGRAM FOR YOUNG PRINCES AND PRINCESSES

Afrikan Tradition

In Afrikan tradition, special meaning is given to  the number 7 and to the years divisible by 7. On
the occasion of a child's 7th year, the tribe of community marks the event with a celebration most
often recognized as a Karamu and the children are taught 7 lessons. The most recognized format
entails a series of lessons determined to be the most valuable basic tools one should have. Some
of the lessons focus on "Know Thyself", History, Values, Morals, Character Building,
Self-Sufficiency, Family and Community, Healing through Diet, Dance, Music Therapy and Creative Arts.
All lessons are "hands-on", interactive, with a lecture that compliments the experience. We are confident
that these lessons will enrich one's wisdom and maturity, and produce a well rounded, conscious spirit.
