Marking Transitions

First communion, b'mitzvah, quinceanera, and graduations are all ways to mark milestones in a young person's life, but after school is done, we seldom recognize anything other than weddings and funerals. But there are so many more transitions that happen in our adult lives!

​

There are very clear transitions like a death of a loved one, a move, or changing your name, and there are more ambiguous transitions like moving to a different life stage, a change in a relationship, or an inner shift that's hard to name but very real.

It can help to have a companion in any stage of a transition. Perhaps you are anticipating a significant transition and want to approach it intentionally and spiritually. Perhaps you're in the middle of a transition and want to take time to get a better idea of where it's headed. Perhaps you've already made a transition but want to go deeper into what it means for you.

​

In spiritual direction, I can help you name what is transitioning--what is ending and what is beginning--and work with you in what can be a very fruitful time of new possibilities. We can work together to explore what the transition means to you and for you and then craft a ceremony or other meaningful act to mark, remember, and celebrate your transition.
