Ritual and Ceremony

Often people think that a ritual suggests magic – and in a way it does;                                                                                   

 it is the magic of being in the moment, of being mindful.

Ceremony recognizes a daily activity or a life transition; this could be an ordinary experience like taking a shower, or celebrating an occasion for transitions in your life. Rituals and ceremonies are part of everyday life — since the beginning of time.  Ceremony makes life transitions more meaningful, whether we are being honored, or as a witness sharing in the celebration, dedication or transition.

To create a ceremony for either an individual or group—it becomes inspirational, informative and engaging in weaving thoughts and hearts into sacred space, taking one on an inward journey to contemplate, participate and support the essence and intention of the occasion.

Ceremony takes place in these moments when we are deeply moved – evoking a commitment of the heart…creating extra-ordinary moments out of the ordinary.

Ceremony is not just about engagements, weddings, a funeral or memorial--- think about a holiday dinner,  a birthday or anniversary?  And what about the many rites of passage:  new decade, relocation, divorce, birth, new school or achievement?

No matter the occasion,  a ceremony can reflect the wishes and intention of those involved; written and designed specifically, individually, to make it a most memorable occasion for all.  Our life transitions are worthy and deserving of extra-ordinary dedication and sharing.   More often than we like to admit,  it takes more time, energy and courage than we ever dreamed of, getting through the many twists and turns and ups and downs to arrive;  finally,  or just this time.
