Today more than ever boys are struggling with their transition into adulthood. Addiction, broken relationships, loss of direction, alienation and cynicism are the hallmarks of today’s adolescents. It doesn't have to be this way. Cultures throughout the world and through the ages have developed Circles of Elders to support their sons and families. Using a modernized version of the Circle of Elders, Sakonnet Passage will teach men how to build trust and use their collective wisdom and experience to create a guiding vision for teens.
