Rituals are a wonderful way to mark major life transitions with intentionality.

When I turned 60, my fellow seminarians and I created a ritual to honor our path to becoming elders. One by one, we held up a symbol of something we were grieving as we aged (Jimmy Choo high heels; a clock; a pair of soccer cleats). Then each of us reflected on what we were gaining by embracing the much-maligned archetype of the crone. The experience–planning, rehearsing and then enacting the ritual–was powerful.

Rituals need not be elaborate to be impactful; a simple, well-designed ritual can foster personal growth, especially during times of change.

Are you curious about creating a ritual to mark a significant life event? I would love to help you celebrate an important milestone, including:

• Special birthdays

• Retirement

• Job change

• Coming out

• Divorce

• Moving from a beloved home

• Blessing a new house.

Let's explore together.
