Initiation Ceremony

An initiation ceremony is a formal event marking the entry of individuals into a particular group, organization, or society. These ceremonies often involve rituals or traditions that symbolize acceptance and membership. Common in cultures, religious organizations, and fraternal societies, initiation can include activities such as oaths, sharing of knowledge, or symbolic acts. The purpose is to create a shared identity, foster community bonding, and signify the beginning of a new phase in participants' lives. Essential values and expectations of the group are typically communicated during these ceremonies.
