Where Are You In Your Life Right Now?

Every life moves through recognisable territory — phases of becoming, thresholds of change, passages that ask more of us than we knew we had.

Across cultures and centuries, human beings have mapped this ground.

This work helps you locate yourself in that territory, and understand what this moment of your life is asking of you.

Your current phase


Questions for reflection

These phases are approximate windows, not precise dates — a map to orient with, not a timetable to live by.

Julie MacLeod

As a biographical consultant, I work with the patterns of human life — helping people sense where they are, and what that moment is calling for.

I come to this work through a wide and varied life — through many fields of work, including Steiner education and human development, through lived experience, and through a lifetime of living with spiritual questions. It is these, alongside my formal training in anthroposophic biography work, that have shaped how I understand what each phase of life is asking of us.

My work draws on many traditions without belonging to any one of them. It is, at its heart, a way of reading your own life more clearly.
