Blue Holiday Gathering and Ritual

This workshop is a safe space of acknowledgment and acceptance. Our time together will include candle lighting, meditation, and conversation.

Whether you are missing time with family and friends, mourning the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce, coping with a job loss, living with illness or trauma, or experiencing any number of other difficult situations, it's not unusual to feel down this time of year

In the words of Soren Kierkegaard, “The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one you'll never have.” The loss of the future we imagined can be a particularly painful realization during the holidays.

Whether you embrace the religious or cultural aspects of the holiday season (or both) you are welcome. People of all secular or spiritual worldviews are invited to attend.

Registration cost supports the work of Rites of Passage, LLC with 10% donated to Reimagine.

We have a sliding scale of $8, $12, or $16. Our basic fee is $12. Pay less as necessary or more if you want 😊 (No refunds.)
