When Life Changes
"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance."
- Alan Watts
I believe deeply in the importance of marking the prominent and subtle transitions we move through in life and feel there is profound healing available to us by witnessing each other at these sacred thresholds. Here’s some of the ways I can support you with ceremony through life’s many transitions…
Adolescence Rituals
The transition from childhood to adulthood can be a mix of awkward, embarrassing and confusing moments for adolescents. That's why a Rites of Passage Ceremony in the teenage years can be so special and affirming. Whether focussed on menarche (first menstrual period) or anchored in other physical changes of puberty, this ceremony is all about honouring and celebrating these changes, giving young teens the chance to feel affirmed and welcomed by their family and elders. It's a safe and loving initiation where we celebrate the miracle of a changing body and warmly welcome the young adult into this new stage of their life. Surrounded by the support and affirmation of those who have gone before them, they will feel witnessed, loved, and celebrated.
Transgender Renaming Ceremony
For my Trans sisters, brothers & siblings - I offer a deeply personal and affirming Transgender Renaming Ceremony designed to honour and celebrate your transition. This unique ceremony provides a sacred space where you can publicly embrace your true name, be witnessed in your full beauty whilst surrounded by the love and support of friends, family, and community. It is a powerful ritual that acknowledges your strength and your courage to live your truest life.
Together, we will craft a ceremony that reflects your story, values, and aspirations, ensuring that this moment becomes a cherished memory and powerful threshold as you step confidently into your new identity witnessed by your beloveds.
Menopause Ceremony
Honoring the Wise Woman is a beautiful way to celebrate the sacred third phase of life, often recognized around age 50 or during menopause. Stepping into Cronehood is a profound and transformative moment, a celebration of the wisdom you have gathered and the knowledge that continues to unfold.
This ceremony would mark your role as an elder, a revered guide who reflects on a lifetime of rich experiences and accomplishments, while eagerly anticipating many more years of growth, joy, and spiritual fulfilment.
Together we can craft a simple ritual that celebrates this significant and sacred transition, rejoicing in the deep wisdom and beauty of your journey.
