Reena Burton is deeply called to hold sacred space during life’s transitions and rites of passage. These moments of change, often accompanied by grief for what was and anxiety for what lies ahead, can feel isolating, overwhelming, and painful. Yet, when held within a sacred and loving container, these experiences have the potential to foster profound growth and renewal.
With a strong foundation of skills and gifts, Reena has cultivated the capacity to hold these transformational spaces with reverence and grace. In our modern culture, we have lost touch with honoring many of life’s holy transitions, and the few traditions we have retained are often overshadowed by consumerism and superficiality. Reena believes that when we are lovingly supported through times of intense change, joy, and grief, we emerge more balanced, empowered, and peaceful.
Reena’s calling to serve as a spiritual support began at a young age within a thriving and progressive spiritual community. This formative experience instilled in her a deep reverence for the spiritual journey and inspired her to seek ways to honor life’s sacred moments. Her path has been shaped by:
Being supported by spiritual mentors through life transitions.
Traveling and learning global cultural traditions around rites of passage.
Attending seminary and working within spiritual organizations and communities.
Mentoring young people through tender transitions.
Planning a wedding ceremony rich in ritual and depth.
Giving birth at home and navigating life as a mother to a high-needs child.
Training and volunteering as a doula.
Participating in a womens circle to hold space and lead rituals for change and growth.
Training as a priestess with the Woman Rising school, where she learned the sacred cycles and wisdom of nature.
Becoming certified in ritual facilitation, gaining the tools to create meaningful ceremonies in any setting.
Supporting both of her parents through their illnesses and end-of-life journeys.
These experiences have helped form Reena’s understanding of how to honor and hold sacred space during life’s most vulnerable and transformational moments. It is her deepest joy and privilege to walk alongside others with reverence during these holy times.
