Facing Change: Life's Transitions and Transformations

"Change happens, but transition is always a process of letting go, living in the confusing shadow space for a while." - Richard Rohr

From the joys of births and weddings to the sorrows of death, illness, and divorce, to grappling with relocation, family struggles, identity issues, job changes, trauma, and loss, change can leave us feeling unmoored and powerless.

Facing Change is a small group experience focusing on embracing the transformative power of change.

The size of the group and participants vary from month to month, but the consistent thread is how we honor life’s transitions and the transformations with experience through them.

Together, we offer support and care for each other, share tools for navigating life’s changes, practice meditation and ritual, and grow in our ability to approach change with curiosity rather than anxiety.
