IIN THE SPACE BETWEEN
THE GATHERING
An 8-week gathering for the season of transition
Where summer begins to soften, fall begins to call, and we learn to live in the space between.
Every woman I know right now is pivoting.
We know what is coming.
But we aren't there yet.
We are in the space between.
And perhaps that is where so much of life actually happens.
We are constantly being asked to move from one version of ourselves into another. From one season to the next. From one identity to another. From what was to what is becoming.
Sometimes the transition is chosen.
Sometimes it chooses us.
A relationship changes. A child leaves home. A career evolves. A friendship ends. Our bodies change. Our priorities shift. We reach a point where the life that once fit no longer feels quite right. Or maybe nothing dramatic has happened at all, we simply wake up one day and realize we are ready for something different.
And yet, our culture tends to rush us through these moments.
We want answers. We want a plan. We want to know what comes next.
We want to get to the other side.
Where summer begins to soften, fall begins to call, and we learn to live in the space between.
An 8-week gathering for the season of transition
But what if we didn't?
What if we stopped treating uncertainty as a problem to solve?
What if the in-between isn't a place we need to escape, but a place we need to learn how to inhabit?
What if the space between is where the real work of becoming happens?

Transition is not a detour from life.
Transition IS life.
Bruce Feiler, in Life Is in the Transitions: Mastering Change at Any Age, challenges the idea that our lives unfold in a neat, linear progression. Through his Life Story Project, Feiler gathered hundreds of stories from people navigating profound change and discovered something deeply reassuring.

This fall, The Gathering will use Feiler's work as a framework for exploring our own seasons of transition.

Not because we need to figure everything out.
But because we can learn how to move through change with more curiosity, compassion, agency, and support.

The goal isn’t to rush toward a new beginning, but to become more comfortable in the space between.
How We Gather
4 Virtual Gatherings + 1 In-Person Optional Mini Retreat
Rather than meeting every week, The Gathering creates intentional space between our circles for reflection, experimentation, journaling, and living with the questions that arise.
Our four virtual gatherings will give us a shared framework and community container, while our in-person mini retreat will offer a chance to step away from everyday life and experience the work of transition in a deeper, more embodied way.
