I'm Kristabeth Atwood and I am a Pastor for People Who Don't Do Church. I was a church pastor for 18 years and today I bring my pastor's heart to my work with people of all identities and spiritual and secular perspectives.
From the joys of births and weddings, to the sorrows of death, illness, and divorce, to grappling with relocation, family struggles, identity issues, job changes, and loss, we all face change throughout our lives. As a survivor of violence and PTSD, I know the pain and disorientation life's changes can cause. Acknowledging the changes we experience is essential to our well-being.
My work includes one-on-one spiritual direction and grief support, small group gatherings focused on the transformative power of change, and designing and officiating personalized ceremonies to mark life's transitions.
I hold space for people to connect with themselves, those around them, and with the sacred, whatever that means to them. I feel privileged to help people honor and mark the meaningful moments that encompass all the seasons of life – from birth to death.
Whether you identify as religious, interfaith, secular, or spiritual-but-not-religious, I will help you honor your life transition and walk with you as you grow, heal, and transform through life's changes.
There is much we can learn from life transitions if we are willing to pause, reflect, acknowledge, and embrace the transformative power of change.
