From Creative Ceremonies (http://www.creativeceremonies.biz)

From our earliest beginnings we humans have had a
need to share our joy and our grief with the people of
our clan or our tribe. Although most of us no longer
live in tribes or clans we do have a group of people we
consider to be our community of family and friends.
Many members of this community have known us
since we were born and have been a part of other
ceremonies and milestones that we have reached in
our lives. As we all know, life has a rhythm and a flow
unto itself. We are born, we marry, we have children,
and we die. Each of these milestones are enhanced by
bringing our community of family and friends together
to share in our joy or our grief by participating in
ceremonies that resonate meaningfully with our values
and beliefs.

We lack ceremonies that usher our youth into the status of full speaking members of our “tribe.” A coming-of-age ceremony can mark this important milestone with real meaning for the youth who is transitioning into adulthood and for their parents as well as for the entire family.
