-- Rites of Passage is excited to announce the upcoming Wilderness Quest event for women, taking place July 12-20, 2025, in California. This event offers women and female-identifying individuals a profound opportunity for self-discovery, healing, and transformation in the wild.

A recent study published in The Journal of Women's Health shows that initiation rituals and rites of passage play a significant role in fostering emotional well-being and self-empowerment for women, especially when they provide opportunities for solitude, reflection, and reconnection with nature. These practices have been shown to support the healing of old wounds and help women rediscover their authentic selves, leading to a deeper sense of inner strength and purpose.
The Wilderness Quest experience honors the sacred feminine and invites participants to step into sacred time and space. “We are thrilled to offer this transformative experience to women and female-identifying individuals of all backgrounds,” says a spokesperson at Rites of Passage. “This is an opportunity for individuals to reconnect with their true selves, make meaningful prayers for their lives, and experience the profound support of a community of like-minded seekers.”
The program begins with three days of preparation, during which guides will introduce eco-spiritual tools, teach essential wilderness survival skills, and support participants in clarifying their purpose for the journey ahead. Following this, each participant will embark on a solo journey into the wilderness, where they will spend three days and nights alone in nature, reflecting, healing, and connecting with the Earth.
The quest will conclude with three days of integration, where participants will work with guides to distill the gifts, symbols, and teachings of their solo journey. The entire experience culminates with a return to the group for final reflections and celebrations.
Past participant Heather O. reflects on her experience, saying, “The wilderness quest was a journey of self-discovery, community, connection, and heart. Rich and full of depth. I appreciated the presence and transparency provided by the guides.”
The Wilderness Quest is open to all women and female-identifying individuals in all stages of life, and it is designed to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering space for healing and personal growth.
