THE RITE JOURNEY With Special Guests: Andrew Lines  and James Adams.
Rites of passage and initiation into adulthood through ceremony and   the passing on of wisdom from men to boys has always been a   fundamental part of indigenous and tribal cultures but is strangely   lacking in the West. Andrew Lines is a high school teacher from South Australia who has   devloped a unique boy's education initiative which has evolved over   the last 10 years. The program is called 'The Rite Journey' and is   implemented over a year in the school setting for boys around the age   of 14 and is now being adopted in a number of private schools. There   is also interest from the public sector. In looking at the racist,   sexist and homophobic views that some of his students were expressing,   and in the grip of reading Stephen Biddulph's Manhood, he decided to   question how this came about and found a lack of male role models,   mentors and teachers in the boys lives. "I believe The Rite Journey goes a long way to helping develop the   health of the 'future-men' in our country by rediscovering human   connection in this technologically saturated world... as well as   creating a contemporary school-based rite of passage," he says. "I   have a dream that every boy in our country experiences the time- honoured tradition of a rite of passage... and I believe that   providing such a process guided by caring, empowered and en-couraged   male teachers in the school system is one way in which we can achieve   this."
