Some Moments

Changes Everything

Rites of Passage Institute creates life-changing experiences for young people, families, and schools for over 30 years.

Where young people
find their place.

Rites of Passage Institute is built on 30+ years of experience in rites of passage for young Australians, led by Dr Arne Rubinstein, one of the few people in the world who has dedicated his entire career to this field. The depth is rare. The impact is real.

Something Real Happens

For everyone.

Rites of Passage Institute doesn’t just run a camp for a kid and send them home. It brings in the parents, trains the teachers, redesigns the school programs, and creates the ceremonies and rituals that mark real transitions in a young person’s life. The whole ecosystem changes not just the individual.
