I was at the Alternatives Solistice Ritual last night. I pretty much hated it.
Nicky Slade led pretty nice Kirtan.
This was ritual singing. Using Kirtan to get everybody into a good, heart-open state for the ritual.
Kirtan is so hippy.
Is it legitimate to want to create a western version?
Yes :) Creativity.
Also a bit more upbeat or something - yep, the rhythm picked up by Nicky Slade was a bit kind of... drony.
Humm.

Puberty rites of passage
Bill Plotkin outlines a puberty rite of passage in Nature and the Human Soul p169 - 172. I found it really inspiring. I want to facilitate rites of passage just like that. I don't know yet when or how or who with.
I also saw a business model in it - say you support 300 young people in a year - say, 2 rites of passage a month with groups of 10 - 30 in each - at £100 per young person - you could make a living from that.
The two books referenced were:
Crossroads: the quest for contemporary rites of passage, Mahdi and Meade, 1996
Art and Soul Teen Initiation Rite: A Community and Family Rite of Passage Enactment - Kia Woods 1997
