Ceremonies for Life, Death, & Transitions
When life changes in beautiful and challenging ways, ceremony and ritual invites us to be with our experience with humility and reverence. Whether you are looking to honor life, death, or transitions in your life one-on-one or in a group of your closest companions, together we can create a ceremony tailored to your wishes, beliefs, and dreams.
Life Rituals
Take time to celebrate the joys in life - in your own way! Examples include:
Intimate Commitment Ceremonies
Birthday Paint Dance Party for the Inner Child
Bachelorette Mindfulness, Readings, & Sacred Circle
Mother, Parent, & Baby Blessings
Self-Marriage Ceremony
Girls’ Night Nature Mandala Creation
Transition Rituals
There are many times in our lives of significant change. The tendency in the west is to "get through” them, rather than offering them the attention they desire to be heard, seen, and honored. Whether you are feeling stuck or excited or a bit of both, we can create a ritual for you. No transition is too big or too small.
Examples:
New Home Blessing
Relationship Change
Menarche/Menopause Party
Career Shift
Death Rituals
As a certified death doula, celebrant, & bereavement specialist, I am here to support you in your end-of-life needs. If you are looking for support in a nontraditional ceremony, would like someone to sit vigil, explore your relationship to death, or to find a way to honor your loved one, we can create a ritual that supports your wishes.
Examples include:
Nontraditional Celebrations of Life & Memorials
Ashen Nature Mandala in a sacred place
Conversation & company in end of life
Support with end of life & quality care decisions
Artistic Creation in honor of loved one
Specialized care for infant & child services
“We do spiritual ceremonies as human beings in order to create a safe resting place for our most complicated feelings of joy or trauma, so that we don't have to haul those feelings around with us forever, weighing us down. We all need such places of ritual safekeeping.”
— Elizabeth Gilbert
