SUMMARY:Ritual4Return Men’s Rite of Passage
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to attend and participate in the Men’s Rite of Passage for members of the Ritual4Return 2025 Fall Cohort. \nRitual4Return\, supported by multiple NJCH grants\, is a 14-week course through which returning citizens engage with and explore the many aspects of their own experiences getting into\, through\, and out of prison. \nReading from a wide variety of source materials and then trying to understand them through dialogue\, writing\, movement exercises\, and theatrical devising techniques\, participants explore — individually and collectively — themes like Home\, Sin\, Judgement\, Punishment\, Exile\, Bondage\, Trauma\, Grief\, Freedom\, Repair\, Forgiveness\, Justice\, and Homecoming. \nThe process culminates with a one-time-only public ritual marking and celebrating the end of incarceration and the beginning of an individual’s new identity within the community. This rite of passage is the centerpiece of a one-day gathering that aims to extend the conversation to family members\, loved ones\, and other community stakeholders who care about the impacts of incarceration. \nRitual Schedule \n\n12:30 pm Doors Open\n1:00pm Pre-ritual Audience Workshop\n3:00pm Ritual4Return\n5:00 Community Dinner\n\n\nTicket information will be available soon.  \nRitual4Return was awarded the 2024 Stanley N. Katz Prize for Excellence in Public Humanities. Read more about the program and award at https://njhumanities.org/katz-prize-2024/.
