Apr 13 2011 Darcy Ottey and Rite of Passage Journeys

Darcy Ottey the Executive Director of Rite of Passage Journeys joined us this week on the Walk the Talk with Kim show.  Each time just when I think the conversations will be routine, I find myself inspired and incredibly jazzed about all the wonderful things around us that folks are doing to help others.  Rite of Passage Journeys, established in 1968, fosters self-discovery, community and connection with the natural world. This not-for-profit organization provides intentional rites of passage experiences and rite of passage education. The conversation was just awe-inspiring and I am figuring out how I can get more involved and walk the talk - literally!  Stay tuned for more coming on future shows!! www.riteofpassagejourneys.org
