A Creative Approach
Circle Passages is a rite of passage designed to help you find yourself and your way as you embark on a healing journey in your life. The rite of passage is an ancient approach that research shows helps you: improve your mood, health, and satisfaction with life. Undergoing a rite of passage helps you think more critically and imaginatively, decreasing your attachment and humbling you. A rite of passage makes you value and love yourself, life, and others more, cultivating a sense of connection and belonging to the natural world.

What people are saying . . .
Our family healing rite of passage has been profound for me, facing the pain I caused, regaining harmony, feeling the love we all have for each other and our life, remembering and laughing together, all this has been a joyful transformation.
.I learned things about myself and from that made forward movement in healing which is great, huge and appreciated!
ROP Participant
Dr. Taylor was able to walk us through a group dynamic with remarkable ease. I was concerned that it would be emotional and resurrect our historical conflict. We were able to move through obstacles and reunite as a family. It was a truly transformative process.
My rite of passage opened me to a new perspective and a new love of life.

ROP Participant
The family right of passage led by Dr. Heather Taylor-Zimmerman brought our family not simply closure on the past but a future. We were able to process old wounds and see each other in a new way. We have transformed our relationships to emerge with a deeper understanding, compassion and love for each other.
ROP Participant
The experience was transformative. My parents had not talked for decades and we had years of emotional trauma. I was hoping to simply be able to communicate with each other. What occurred far exceeded my expectations. We are not only able to communicate but my parents have become good friends. We were able to reclaim our family.

Stages of your PASSAGE
Separation and Preparation
A time to separate from what you want to leave behind and move into your future, preparing for your passage.
During separation you prepare for your journey by imagining what you want to leave behind, going through a life review to see where you have been and determine where you are going. It is a time to get real and let go.
Transformation
On your rite of passage you pass through a threshold of transformation and initiation to claim your power.
In the stage of transformation you overcome limiting patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting as you set off on a ritual journey of self-empowerment, healing, and discovery. Transformation is the stage of deep change.
Integration
As you come back from your rite of passage, you return to your life, integrating your new vision, power, and identity.
Integration is a time to gather and harvest the experiences, teachings, and gifts of your rite of passage and weave them into yourself and life. It is a stage of coming home in which you integrate the new elements of healing and growth.
Continuation
Travelling into your life, you embrace the calling of your rite of passage and bring it more fully into the world.
Continuation is the path that goes ever on, as you move more fully into your vision and power, claiming your identity to give the gift of your calling and healing to the world. This is a life-long journey that continues on.
