The book contextualizes transformational initiation experiences that have occurred in their personal lives and provides the tools for designing passages for future generations. It provides the foundation for the harvesting of affirmative identity, sacred gifts, and the actualization of one's Divine purpose by restoring sacred and timeless African rituals for optimal levels of community building. Crossing the Threshold represents a lifelong journey of Kamau Ptah's passages, coupled with thirty years of professional experiences conceptualizing, designing, implementing, co- creating, and facilitating rites of passage in every community he has served worldwide.
