Milestones, Rites of Passage, Celebrations

Let’s not rush our rites of passage, we’ve earned each step.
The transitions in our lives, those pivotal thresholds we cross, deserve to be celebrated and we deserve the satisfaction of soaking them up, of letting them take root in the story of our lives. Ceremony is tangible and participatory. It’s a way to integrate and ground your experience, while giving it the recognition it deserves.
Whether it's welcoming a baby or a new home, renewing your vows, toasting a retirement, celebrating a milestone birthday or the life of a beloved animal companion,
I can craft a ceremony to mark this moment and pay tribute to this part of your journey.
If you’d like to learn more, just reach out and we’ll set up a complementary consultation where you can tell me what you want out of the ceremony,
how you want to feel, who you'd like to participate and what elements would be meaningful
.
We can brainstorm, and I’ll be able to give you a quote.
