Rites of Passage
I work with you to devise meaningful ceremonies and rituals to mark important landmarks and life events.
Divorce, new home, new job, becoming a parent or grandparent ... you will know when the threshold and milestones are so big they demand to be recognised.
possible ceremonies
Conscious Uncoupling
When your marriage or partnership ends, you can gently honour what was and wish each other well into the future.
If you have children, you might want to make new vows to each other. Promising to co-parent with kindness and respect even though your marriage is over.
Celebrate Transition
At whatever stage of your journey you are on, you will know when it is time to celebrate stepping into the identity of your true self. Witnessed by many, or just a few of your chosen family.
Let's create ceremony together that may include new clothes, ritual hair-cutting, re-naming , or the relinquishing your dead name.
Adult Thresholds
Puberty, sweet sixteen, school leaving, or turning 21. All possible times to reflect on leaving childhood behind and stepping into adulthood.
Let's create a ceremony and welcome the gifts of wisdom and learning from your elders, family, and friends.
Elderhood
I celebrated my 60th birthday last year with what I called a "Crone Ceremony". The ceremony we created together was officiated by the celebrant and expressive art therapist, Makgati Mokwena.
I had been thinking about my mortality and how being conscious of death has made me more present in and appreciative of my life. I wanted to mark the transitions I had been undergoing after my bereavement.
The ceremony marked my stepping into elderhood and celebrated conscious and radical ageing,
