Goodbye / Hello Ritual Design

Design a threshold the mind will cross

TherapistAssist logo

Transitions ask for a threshold — a moment that marks the end of what was and the start of what's next. Design one deliberately or the mind won't cross.

What I'm saying goodbye to
What I'm saying hello to
A goodbye ritual (letter, drive, walk, meal, gathering, gesture)
A hello ritual (first act in the new chapter)
Who, if anyone, I want with me
When and where this will happen
