Small Groups

At Rites of Passage, we offer small group gatherings to acknowledge and explore life’s changes in a supportive group setting. Kristabeth holds regular gatherings each month exploring the big questions of life and death. She also offers group spiritual direction, book circles, and small group collaborations.

Monthly Collaborations with Reimagine:

Living with Loss: A Gathering for the Grieving

A small group gathering for those experiencing loss.

Living with Loss is an opportunity for those who are grieving to find connection through community sharing, meditation, and ritual. While recognizing the universality of loss, we honor the uniqueness of each participant’s experience as we explore how to grow, heal, and be transformed through it.

All are welcome to Living with Loss – including the recently bereaved and those whose loss was longer ago, but still present. Registration is free with contributions accepted.

Facing Change: Life’s Transitions and Transformations

A small group gathering for those going through life transitions.

“Life is about change. Sometimes it’s painful. Sometimes it’s beautiful. But most of the time, it’s both.” —Lana Lang (Fictional Character from Smallville)

Getting married. Losing a job. Moving. Ending a relationship. Having a baby. Losing a loved one. Going back to school. Becoming ill… There are so many forms change can take.

At Facing Change, 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. Registration is free with contributions accepted.

Ongoing Series:

Books That Open Us

A Reflective Reading Circle

Books That Open Us is an ongoing, Zoom-based reading circle for those who long for a slower rhythm and meaningful conversation around books that invite reflection and presence.

We read slowly to explore themes, notice what stirs within us, and listen to one another with care. This is not a book club focused on analysis or productivity but a reflective space grounded in curiosity, personal insight, and shared experience.

Each series meets every other week for one hour. Between gatherings, participants receive gentle reflection prompts and optional journaling invitations to companion their reading. Participants will need to purchase their own copy of the book before we begin.

Whether you are spiritual, religious, secular, or somewhere in between, you are welcome here.

Listening for the Sacred

A Group Spiritual Direction Series

Listening for the Sacred is a small-group spiritual direction offering for those longing to slow down, listen more deeply, and notice the presence of the sacred in their everyday lives. We gather on Zoom in a confidential, supportive space.

Meeting every other week for an hour and a half, this group offers space to share what is stirring within and to practice deep listening together. This is not a space for advice or fixing, but for gentle reflection, shared silence, and sacred companionship.

This series is especially welcoming for those who are new to spiritual direction. The group format offers a gentle, accessible way to experience what spiritual direction is like, to learn the rhythms of deep listening, and to discover how your own inner life can be held and explored in a supportive community.

Each gathering includes time for centering, structured sharing, and relationship building. Between sessions, participants are offered optional journaling prompts to support reflection and gentle noticing in everyday life.
