Life In Transition

LIFE IN TRANSITION
Turning Changes into Transformation

With David Irvine
A Six-Session Online Program
February 22 – March 29, 2026
Sundays, 9:00 am – 11:00 AM Mountain Time

Overview

Life unfolds through constant change—some expected, some surprising, some chosen, and some deeply disorienting. In a world that prizes speed and productivity, it is tempting to stay on the urgency treadmill, reacting rather than reflecting. Yet stepping off that treadmill allows space – to breathe, reset the inner compass, and examine how change is shaping one’s direction and character. Pausing to notice what has shifted—inside and out—can reveal new layers of meaning, resilience, and purpose. The real question isn’t what is changing around you, but how the change itself can enrich and deepen your life.

This six-week, live-streamed program is designed for anyone amid a planned change (e.g. a career change, “retirement,” or relationship change), or those navigating an unexpected change where you have been thrust into unfamiliar territory and are experiencing a profound sense of loss and disorientation (e.g. a diagnosis that turns your world upside down, an illness in your family that throws you unexpectedly into the role of caregiver, a lay-off, an unforeseen divorce, the death of a loved one, or a natural disaster).

This is a course for anyone who is committed to move into the next chapter of their life with greater meaning, clarity, and renewed purpose. Regardless of whether the change in your life is planned or unexpected, transitions present an opportunity to step into an authentic journey: embracing the difficulty, allowing the pain to break you open so a stronger, wiser, and kinder self can emerge.

Every transition is an invitation—a call to adventure in the Hero’s Journey of your own life. Life In Transition is a reflective, practice-based course that helps you move through change with intention, turning uncertainty into growth and everyday moments into meaning.

Be prepared for a reflective, provocative, practical, and deeply personal transformational experience. Drawing on story, mindfulness, and self-awareness, you will:

Transform life’s turning points into opportunities for authentic self-discovery and purpose.
Discover tools and strategies for getting through the disruption and chaos in a way that builds strength and support on your journey.
Use this time of transition to awaken to your life’s purpose and discover your most deeply held values.
Learn a systematic discipline for using change to discern what is essential in your life and eliminating everything that is not, so you can travel the path to what truly matters.
Tap into the power of your inner guides as a resource during times of transition.
Cultivate a mindful, grounded approach to living that nurtures depth, clarity, and presence.
Learn to set up a mental fitness program that sustains and strengthens you daily.
Map out key guideposts for living that will direct you to fulfilment and meaning and enable you to stay on track.
Create a community of support on your journey.

This course is a sanctuary for conversation, reflection, and renewal. Each session helps you uncover the wisdom within your own narrative, guiding you toward deeper connection with yourself, your values, and the authentic life you are meant to live.

Who will benefit from this course?

The Life in Transition course is designed for anyone navigating planned or unexpected change – whether you are entering it, moving through it, or emerging from it. It’s for those who want to transform change into an opportunity for greater authenticity, clarity, and purpose. This course supports you amid uncertainty, using transition as a pathway to personal awakening. It is equally valuable for leaders, coaches, and caregivers who guide others through significant life transitions.

Course Overview

Session I. Change, Transition, Transformation, And the Authentic Journey

Learn how transitions are the gateways to new possibilities. Use change (e.g. illness, injury, loss of a loved one, divorce, layoff, retirement, etc.) as a doorway to deepen and transform your life as you begin the journey to a new way of living – with deeper meaning and authentically.

Session II. Discovering Your Authenticity Through the Hero’s Journey

Every life involves moments of uncertainty, loss, and transformation. This session invites participants to see adversity not as an endpoint but as a call to adventure and an invitation to growth. Drawing on Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, we will explore how each stage mirrors the transitions we face in real life: from the call to adventure to facing challenges and returning transformed.

Session III. Endings, Grief, And A Pathway to Healing: Coming to Terms with Loss

This session explores the emotional and relational dimensions of endings, acknowledging the grief that accompanies personal and professional transitions. Through guided reflection and dialogue, we will identify the meanings and lessons embedded within loss as part of a larger transformative process. We will explore practices that support emotional release, acceptance, and the cultivation of self-compassion, shaping a pathway to healing and renewed authenticity in the wake of change.

Session IV. Change As an Opportunity to Clarify Your Values and Your Life Purpose

With the necessary tools, times of disruption create an opportunity for clarity and focus.

Exaggerate The Essentials. We will develop a systematic discipline for discerning what is essential in your life, while eliminating everything that is not, to make the highest contribution to the things that truly matter.
Awaken To Your Life Purpose. When uncovered, purpose becomes your fundamental guiding principle. This session offers a roadmap for finding both your inner and your outer life purpose – the power of defining and clarifying your WHY.

Session V. The Power of Presence: Mindfulness as a Path to Authenticity

This session invites participants to slow down and awaken to your unique abilities and passion, noticing how mindful awareness reveals what is most true and alive within you. Through guided practices and gentle reflection, we will explore how presence softens self-judgment and creates space for a more honest relationship with your inner self and your connection to others.

Session VI. Integration: Keeping The Inspiration Alive and Staying on Track

As we begin to look toward the next chapter of your authentic journey, we will create a structure, routine, and set of habits to sustain your new awareness. As a concluding session, we will craft simple, concrete intentions and agreements with yourself for “a life that awakens you” so that authenticity is not just an idea, but a way of living in work, relationships, and self-care.
