Transform your

Way of Being

PRACTITIONERS + LEADERS + CHANGEMAKERS

As a Practitioner, Leader, or Changemaker, you’re intentionally devoting yourself to helping others in some meaningful way.

We created Passage for you. 

Elevate the Way You
Move Through The World

Indigenous wisdom sees all of life as an interconnected web of relationships.

By weaving together Eastern and Western medicine, contemporary science, and ancestral practices, we create a comprehensive ecosystem for human transformation and vitality.

These teachings don't offer quick fixes - they provide profound shifts in how you move through the world, naturally elevating every aspect of your life.

Our unique synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern understanding creates practical pathways for integrating these sacred practices into the complexity of today's world.

Who would you be?

Imagine who you would be with the wisdom of the sages radiating through you. 

Not just in knowledge, but in your way of being. 

Imagine the impact on your Relationships, Leadership, and Service.

Remember

who you are.

How would your life transform if you were able to easily release anything that does not serve you, embrace the unknown, and see everything in your life as being for you rather than against you?

What if you could respond intentionally rather than react emotionally in each moment, no matter the circumstances? 

We are a collective of devoted allies bridging the worlds of Eastern and Western medicine, Science, and Indigenous wisdom.

Our mission is to weave the wisdom of the Elders, knowledge holders, culture bearers, and sacred ecosystems into the modern world.

Change and transition are part of our everyday lives, from the experiences we seek out to the ones that simply happen to us.

Our responses to those moments often define who we are and how we feel about our lives. 

Every transition or challenge we encounter presents an opportunity to heal, expand, and transform into a new way of being. 

Our Transformation Ecosystem provides access to the full potency of what is available in any transformation opportunity.

    Integration can often be a more challenging process. It takes focus and discipline to make a sustainable change in your life.

    This is where we begin to experience the benefits of our transformation process, celebrate our new way in the world, and taste the fruit of our own wisdom tree. 

    Community
    Each Wayfinder Excursions participant is welcomed into a WhatsApp group for their specific excursion. This is where we stay in dialogue and support each other on our journey.

Mind

Third Way

Third Way Mind is a devotional practice of perceiving challenges or conflict as opportunities for self-actualization, transcendence, and harmony. It is a way of existing in a state of open, flowing presence and attuning to a higher possibility in each moment, transcending all circumstances. 

It represents a commitment to nonviolence and patient acceptance of what arises while strategically accounting for all possibilities. This is not a passive stance, but a transcendent way of engaging challenges and maintaining a presence where divinely inspired action naturally emerges.

Passage is grounded in the Third Way. Our trainings, guidance, and experiences are upheld and informed by this philosophy and agreement. It represents our way of being, and the foundation of all of our teachings.

Within the interplay of contrasting forces, we discover otherwise unavailable opportunities for higher intelligence and harmonious paradigms aligned with love. Third Way Mind cultivates equanimity amidst difficulties and a grateful orientation to life's unfolding. 

Third Way Mind calls us to pause time, breathe, transcend fear-based reactivity, and attune to a higher frequency of consciousness. From this elevated vantage, we can hold the tensions of paradoxical opposites without struggle, allowing divine wisdom to guide the way. 

True

Vitality

Our Transformation Ecosystem helps expand your capcity for new depths of vitality.

At its core, vitality is about cultivating abundant life energy and allowing it to flow freely through all dimensions of our existence.

Vitality is far more than just physical health or energy - it's the radiant life force that emerges when all aspects of our being are in harmony and flow.

True vitality is a dynamic state where body, mind, spirit, and environment dance together in an elegant symphony of well-being.

Right Relationship 

We help seekers and practitioners attune to Ancestral and Indigenous perspectives around Plant Medicine, Rites of Passage, and Transformation.

Together, we are weaving these vital elements into modern society to cultivate right relationship and harmony with the natural world.

We are devoted to the mending of humanity’s connection to Source, that all sentient beings require to be in harmonic resonance with nature and in right relationship with the whole.

Indigenous

Wisdom

Bridging Worlds

We’ve worked for decades to cultivate deep relationships with Indigenous Elders and Wisdom Keepers. Their wisdom and guidance led to the birth of Passage and they continue to serve as the guidepost of our ongoing evolution.

In collaboration with our Elders, Wisdom Keepers, and communities, our role is to serve as a bridge to the wisdom and ways of the Indigenous world and cultivate ecosystems for integrating them into your life.

Origin Story

Passage was birthed from the realization that modern society is largely bereft of a cultural and practical support system for transformation, vitality, spiritual attunement, and community. 

Conversely, members of Indigenous tribes benefit from the infrastructure of wisdom, guidance, rites of passage, ongoing integration practices, and overall interdependence of their family and community.

In modern society, we are left to recreate this ecosystem the best we can.

Passage is a result of our desire to help steward these elements with integrity and devotion, as a way of honoring our ancestors and weaving their wisdom into our present and future.
