Transitions
Life is full of thresholds — moments when something familiar ends and something new begins. Some are celebrated with public rituals; others pass quietly, noticed only by our own selves. Whether the change is welcome or difficult, clear or hard to name, taking time to honor it can help you live more fully into what’s next.
Naming endings, welcoming beginnings, and honoring the space between.
Notice the Change
After childhood milestones, adult life offers few rituals beyond weddings and funerals — yet we experience many other turning points. Some are joyful and chosen; others are unwelcome and arrive uninvited.
Whether they come in clear turning points or in gradual revelation, changes shape us and our relationships. It is through reflection that we can recognize what's shifting and respond with wisdom and compassion. Marking these changes helps us honor our experience and open ourselves to what’s next.
Name What’s Shifting
Some transitions are obvious and visible — the death of a loved one, a move across the country, or legally changing your name. These are the kinds of changes others can see and name alongside you.
Others are more subtle, unfolding mostly within, such as:
-
A shift in how you understand your faith or values
-
A friendship quietly fading or deepening in unexpected ways
-
Realizing you’ve entered a new life stage — midlife, elderhood, or something in between
-
An inner re‑alignment that changes how you see yourself, even if nothing “outward” has changed
Whether clear or subtle, naming what’s shifting — both the endings and the beginnings — can bring clarity and compassion to the process. It allows you to acknowledge what you’re leaving behind, bless what you’re carrying forward, and make space for what is still emerging.
Explore the Meaning and Mark the Moment
We’ll reflect on what this change is asking of you, what values are being reaffirmed or challenged, and what new invitations may be arising. This is not about rushing to closure, but about exploring what can be learned in this "in-between" space.
When you’re ready, we can create a tangible way to honor your transition — a ceremony, a blessing, a symbolic act, or a simple moment of witness. This could be shared with others or held privately, depending on what feels right for you.
The in‑between can be the most fertile ground for growth.
