How do rites of passage mark important milestones?

This Is Nashville

Across cultures, rites of passage often honor a transition from one cycle of life to another.

On today's show, three Nashvillians share their own experiences and how it felt entering a new stage of life. From performing a bat mitzvah to living as a Buddhist monk — and even undergoing a "croning" — each of these ceremonies left an impact on our guests. Join us as we learn how different cultures mark these milestones.
