I am here to reimagine...
a day when death is, again, a regular part of life, life transitions are met with curiosity and awe, and spiritual and emotional responses to life and death are honored for the wisdom they impart.

I’m Kristabeth Atwood and I am a Pastor for People Who Don’t Do Church. I was a church pastor for 18 years and today I bring my pastor’s heart to my work with people of all identities and spiritual and secular perspectives.
For over 20 years, I’ve accompanied people through life's transitions and helped them explore life's big questions. My work includes one-on-one spiritual direction and grief companionship, small groups on the transformative power of change, and designing and officiating personalized ceremonies to mark life’s transitions.
Personally, I've journeyed through the joys and challenges of marriage, divorce, re-marriage, becoming a stepparent, relocation, career changes, the trauma of violence, and the loss of loved ones - all of which inform my work. I hold space for people to connect with themselves, those around them, and with the sacred, whatever that means to them.
