Ceremony
The BIG Life Events…
Weddings, funerals, babies, coming of age. These are things tradition tell us to commemorate. It is an honor and a joy to help you and your loves mark these occasions whether you want to use a traditional framework or make it completely your own.
… and Everything Else!
Coming out, divorce, naming ceremony for transfolks, retirement! Anything that feels like a BIG moment in your life can and should be celebrated, mourned, or marked. We will work together to create meaningful and lasting memories.
Wedding and Handfasting
Weddings are a beautiful way for friends and family to come together to witness and celebrate love. Every ceremony is unique to those involved, even when using a traditional framework. I happily work with folks in polyamorous and other non-traditional relationship structures in addition to couples.
Funeral and Memorial
Whether for a parent or beloved pet, marking the passing of a loved one is a vital part of healthy and sustainable communities. I help create a meaningful and compassionate service with you whatever the need, and whenever it may present itself.
Blessing and Naming
Baby blessing or naming ceremonies may not be as common in all traditions, but there’s room for them in any tradition. A particular joy of mine is helping other transfolks celebrate and mark the changing of a name or other important aspect of living joyfully and authentically.
Coming of Age
Similarly to naming ceremonies, some of our communities have lost or limited the celebration of coming of age. Whether marking the start of a spiritual path, celebrating a menarche, or simply making a certain teen birthday a bit more notable, let’s take joy in growth! Transfolks may desire celebrating or recreating an aspect of coming of age they felt was missed in youth and I welcome creating ceremony appropriate to individual circumstance.
Divorce or Release
Sometimes ending a relationship is a blessing, sometimes it is a painful memory, sometimes we just want to celebrate with the ex-spouse who remains our best friend. We can work together to craft a ceremony to mark whatever kind of change has happened in this relationship.
Whatever Your Need
Has something happened in your life you feel a need to ritualize or commemorate that isn’t listed here or you’ve never seen done before? Excellent! I would be thrilled to work with you to craft a moment that celebrates or memorializes your important event and creates lasting memories for you and your loved ones.
