Change is the only constant in life. But just because life is always changing, that doesn’t mean we’re always ready to change along with it. Too many of us get stuck at the threshold, reluctant to let go of our attachment to a life that no longer exists and cross through into an unknown future. We fear change because modern society hasn’t equipped us with the skills to make sense of our transitions and understand how and why they matter.
The good news is, these skills are something we can develop – and rituals are a powerful tool to help with this. Rituals mark the important endings and beginnings of our lives and make it easier for us to embrace the insight, energy, and liberation that transitions can bring. They can help you make better sense of your life and develop the resilience and clear-sighted optimism you need to thrive no matter what unexpected developments arise on your journey.
In this Navigating Transitions workshop co-facilitated with award-winning author, artist, teacher, and ritualist Day Schildkret, you’ll learn how to incorporate simple modern rituals into your life that will help you honor and sanctify the important thresholds you will experience in your life – and uncover the powerful lessons they have to teach you.
Through a combination of the Navigating Transitions curriculum and Day’s ritual-based practices incorporating art and nature, you will:
By the end of your five days with Day and the MEA faculty, you will feel rejuvenated and energized and will be excited to dive back into your life and embrace your next exciting chapter.
You will have powerful new rituals you can use to give your life meaning, stability, and structure during times of transition and uncertainty, and will feel greater peace and clarity around the changes you’re dealing with – as well as a deeper sense of meaning and connection to the world around you.
