Other Ceremonies

Explore beyond the boundaries of the most well-known types of ceremonies.

There is great benefit in exploring, experiencing, and even inventing other types of ceremonies.

For these types of ceremonies, I can offer one or all of the following: I would be responsible for hosting the ritual, guiding people's experiences and assisting anyone who is participating.

I would bring you ideas about structure and content, and I would give you a quote based on those services contracted.

In all cases, I create ceremonies based on extensive consultation with you, until we arrive at a ceremony which reflects your experience of your life.

There are many other types of ceremonies. Here are some categories and examples of what is possible:

Family Ceremonies: Baby Naming Ceremony • Ceremony to Welcome an Adopted Child into the Family • Mother Blessing Ceremony (for pregnant women to mark motherhood) • Ceremony for the onset of Menarche (Entering Into Womanhood) • Rite of Passage Ceremony for Entering into Manhood • Family Dinner Ceremonies • Ceremony to Launch Adult Children Independently in the World • Ceremony to Create a Conscious Family • Ceremony to Enter into Step-Parenthood
