In our ever-changing lives we have experiences where we cross over from what was, to what is just becoming. These experiences can be exciting or frightening, but they are always transforming. “Rites of passage” are ceremonies, rituals and practices that mark those special times of transition so that we can continue to remember and draw upon them going forward. Our Lay Associates for Rites of Passage will lead us in reflecting upon these “threshold” moments and how we can honor them for the future.
