Abstract
Abstract The adolescent drive to “grow up” is the same drive that causes the tree to shed its leaves in the Fall. Yet we are not preparing our children to face a winter crisis that will come. Our failure to provide them sanctioned rites of initiation has resulted in their inability to find and know their place in the world. Yet they feel an overwhelming need to follow the ancestral way, to set forth on the “yellow brick road” mat leads to mature understanding. The initiatory experience of nine teenagers at the School of Lost Borders illustrates their hunger for experiences that heal childhood wounds and bring them face to face with their true nature, as reflected in the mirror of the wilderness.
