Theme: “You are not leaving. You are returning as someone else.”
To seal the transformation with sacred witness.
To reflect the journey each person has traveled.
To allow each member to speak from the other side of who they were.
This is the moment of integration and transmission—where identity is affirmed, legacy is spoken, and the individual re-enters the world changed.
“Who am I now—and what will I carry forward?”
