CEREMONIES FOR

HEALING & EMPOWERMENT

The greatest gift you have to give

is that of your own self-transformation.

~ Lao Tzu

Customized ceremonies can be incredibly powerful self-care tools for transformation, spiritual healing, and personal growth.

The possibilities are endless.

Below is a small sampler of custom ceremonies and rituals; the only limits are imagination and personal boundaries.

Some of the best ceremonies are actually the simplest: a quiet moment and a few poetic words in a beautiful space, using one or two props like a candle and a bowl of water.

But there's also much to be said for over-the-top "fantasy" ceremonies, for which you can dress up in costume and ritually play out some part of your psyche that is hungry to be acknowledged and integrated. These also make for spectacular photo shoots. In partnership with the phenomenal Heather Sparrow of Sparrow Photography, we can create an experience through which you will emerge feeling like you've been reborn - with photos and/or video to remind you if you ever forget your magnificence.

Survivor Ceremonies

If you have healed from a physical or emotional illness or ordeal, honoring this with a ceremony can aid greatly in giving you a sense of closure and strength to start a new chapter of your life.

Tea Ceremonies

Celebrate your closest friends, family, by honoring them with a tea ceremony. Part party and part ritual, this is a great way to affirm and strengthen (or even mend) the bonds of friendship and/or family, especially nice as a Valentine's Day event.

Self-Weddings

Have you ever thought about marrying yourself? Author Elizabeth Gilbert tells of a friend that had a self-wedding that made her feel “transcendent and mighty, as though she were physically carrying herself across some critical threshold." This kind of ceremony doesn't have to look like a traditional wedding; I can work with you to create something as unique as you are.

Ceremonies for Release

Personalized releasie ceremonies can aid greatly in letting go of any emotional or psychological baggage that no longer serves you. Together we can create a ceremony that lets you powerfully walk away from the past.

The Labyrinth

The labyrinth is an ancient spiritual tool. Walking its path can have a remarkable effect all on its own, but combined with a meaningful ceremony, that effect is heightened and focused. Any of the ceremonies mentioned on this site can have the added element of incorporating a labyrinth, or we can create a healing and empowerment ritual specifically for the labyrinth.
