Navigate Transitions By Creating Rituals
Have you recently made a significant life change (e.g., retired, switched careers, committed to a significant other, etc.) and now find yourself stuck amidst the transition from your former existence to your new one?
Have you recently made a significant life change (e.g., retired, switched careers, committed to a significant other, etc.) and now find yourself stuck amidst the transition from your former existence to your new one?
Well, then — you need to create a ritual!
In her book Committed: A Love Story, author Elizabeth Gilbert describes a ritual as a “…magical safety harness that guides us from one stage of our lives into the next, making sure we don’t stumble or lose ourselves along the way.” In other words, rituals enable you to let go of old baggage and become open to new possibilities and opportunities.
This half-day workshop, Navigating Transitions by Creating Rituals, will provide you with the framework, tools and techniques to create your own ritual so that you can move through your life’s transition and into your new life, feeling renewed and focused!
As a result of this workshop, you’ll be able to:
· Define the differences between change and transitions
· Identify the elements of rituals that are key to achieving your desired results
· Design a ritual that helps you let go of the past and embrace a new beginning
Ritual by Elizabeth Gilbert
I thoroughly recognize that ceremony is essential to humans: It’s a circle that we draw around important events to separate the momentous from the ordinary. And ritual is a sort of magical safety net harness that guides us from one stage of our lives into the next, making sure we don’t stumble or lose ourselves along the way. Ceremony and ritual march us carefully right through the center of our deepest fears about change, much the way that a stable boy can lea a blindfolded horse right through the center of a fire, whispering, “Don’t overthink this, buddy, okay? Just put one hoof in front of the other and you’ll come out on the other side just fine.
