meredith Little

Meredith Little and her husband Steven Foster co-founded Rites of Passage Inc. in 1976 and The School of Lost Borders in 1981, pioneering new methods and dynamics of modern pan-cultural passage rites in the wilderness, and creating innovative practices of  “field eco-therapy.”  The essence of their work is captured in articles, chapters, an award-winning documentary film, Lost Borders: Coming of Age in the Wilderness, and books that include: The Book of the Vision Quest, The Roaring of the Sacred River, The Four Shields: The Initiatory Seasons of Human Nature. 

Meredith has guided thousands of individuals on fasting vision quests which occasion a deep expansion of normative consciousness. She has conducted trainings for facilitators of this work for over 40 years.

Since Steven’s death in 2003 Meredith continues both nationally and internationally to guide and train others, dedicating her life to returning meaningful and culturally appropriate rites of passage ceremonies to all people and lands. She has also co-founded along with Scott Eberle a new branch of Lost Borders entitled The Practice of Living and Dying, to help break the taboos and silence that pervade the subject of death and to help restore dying to its natural place in the cycles of life.
