In this Episode of the Rebel Buddhist podcast, we talk about what it means to be a true grown-ass adult…in a soul centric way. Many theories of human development focus on stages that are reached in certain age ranges. But you and I both know that turning 18 doesn’t mean you’re a grown-ass adult, and it certainly doesn’t guarantee that we are psychospiritually mature. Listen to find out what true adolescence and adulthood mean, and why reaching true adulthood is so important for ourselves and the world around us.

You will learn:

// The difference between Eco-Soulcentric and Ego-centric Development

// Why so many people can live their entire lives without ever discovering true adulthood

// What true adolescence and adulthood are

// The 9 transitions or passages between the 8 stages of Bill Plotkins’ Eco-Soulcentric Wheel

// The importance of reaching true adulthood - for ourselves, our community, and the world

// If you're up for a journey that involves soul-searching, mind-expanding wisdom at a level most people don’t even explore, and taking on the honorable role of a true adult in your community, and eventually even as a respected elder which we really need more of (because remember - we have to complete these other stages first!), check out the Adventure Mastermind - we start with a virtual retreat later this month, and our first retreat is on the Big Island of Hawaii in February. Head over and apply at AdventureMastermind.com. We’ve only got 3 spots left!
