Renewing Purpose: Modern Rituals to Navigate Life Transitions at Esalen Institute


  • Esalen Institute 55000 CA-1 Big Sur, CA 93920 United States (map)

June 21–23, 2024 with Day Schildkret

As life changes, we also must change — yet this isn’t guaranteed. Too many of us get stuck at our thresholds. Ritual can help us cultivate discernment, recognize gains and losses, and conjure possibility. Join us for a transformative workshop designed to provide the skills and understanding needed to create your own modern rituals. Learn to reflect, reimagine, and renew the purpose of your life’s next chapter.

Guided by award-winning author, artist, teacher, and ritualist Day Schildkret, you are invited to:

  • Learn the ins and outs of this ancient technology to expertly navigate change.

  • Learn the power of “symbolic action” to align your psycho-spiritual experience.

  • Craft your own modern ritual to mark your personal threshold and rediscover yourself.

  • Discover the 7-step Morning Altars practice to use nature, art, and ritual for understanding and meaning.

  • Experience the support and witness of others also renewing their life’s purpose.

  • Create custom “Threshold Wonderings” that provide reflection, refinement, and direction.

  • Discover the meaning-making skills needed to step into your life thresholds with renewed grace and purpose.

This workshop is designed for anyone in a life transition who wants to renew their life’s purpose. Crafted with great care, we welcome all genders, races, identities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Threshold moments are meant to be crossed together. Join us if you feel your transition has become protracted or need greater support and attention to skillfully move to your next chapter.
