Initiation: The capacity to learn something new and demonstrate to someone else that you know it 
Rituals: Rights of passage, how to mark transitions and change

Initiation and rituals are not separated out from life. Every day is an initiation because every day is a new experience. There is not a culture on this planet that doesn’t ritualize the four great mysteries of birth, initiation, marriage, and death. Every day provides us an opportunity for birth and renewal. Every day provides us an opportunity for learning which is initiation. And every day provides us an opportunity for marriage which in the truest sense is mergence, integration or synthesis of bringing two or more parts of ourselves and creating a greater whole. And every day is a practise of letting go and release.
