Rites of Passage mark important life transitions. From Baby Dedications to Memorial Services, we have a need to celebrate our individual joys and sorrows in connection with beloved community. Creating powerful worship and ritual to mark those events is one of the ways I aspire to create a container for people to give witness to and deepen a covenant of mutual responsibility and care. During the pandemic, rites of passage became difficult as they often had to be online, postponed or occasionally outside. I have worked to make all the memorial services, weddings and other Rites of Passage be as tailored to the participants as possible, including a Memorial Service that had to be held outside with all the music used by the Grateful Dead.
As a religious educator, I have facilitated Coming of Age and led Bridging services.
