Ceremony and ritual are incredible tools to support us in times of transition. These tools and practices offer us the opportunity to acknowledge the profound or subtle shifts in our lives. In doing so we are able to integrate our experiences and become more whole and full because of them.

Death Ceremonies- Often we categorize death and grief as only related to physical loss. Here we expand the boundaries to hold space for all types of loss and how ceremony and ritual can tend to these spaces.
Separation & Completion
Even with the best intentions and efforts sometimes holding on creates more pain
Uncoupling, Divorce, Stepping away from friendships, etc.
*This ceremony can be done individually, together with those involved in the separation, and/or with small group of friends*
Funeral for a Loved one
Creating a meaningful service/ceremony that reflects the unique nature of your loved one
Memorial, Funeral, Tribute, Home Funeral, Vigil, Wake, Celebration of Life, Graveside, Scattering, Pet funeral, Do over funerals-if you feel like the original service did not bring the sense of connection and integration you were wanting
*Working alongside you and your chosen funeral director as needed
Remembering your loved one(s)
Our loved ones remain a part of us, our grief calls for remembering
Anniversary's, First's and Last's (first holiday without them, last check in their checkbook), Ongoing connection-ways to stay connected
Planning your own funeral ceremony
Planning ahead is both a gift to yourself and your loved ones
Support in creating a ceremony that reflects you and your legacy
Living Funeral- take in the love, remembrances and connection while you are alive- gives an opportunity to commemorate the final chapter of ones life with loved ones
*Working alongside you and your chosen funeral director as needed
“We do spiritual ceremonies as human beings in order to create
a safe resting place for our most complicated feelings of joy or trauma,
so that we don’t have to haul those feelings around with us forever,
weighing us down. We all need such places of ritual safekeeping. And I do
believe that if your culture or tradition doesn’t have the specific ritual you
are craving, then you are absolutely permitted to make up a ceremony of
your own devising, fixing your own broken-down emotional systems
with all the do-it-yourself resourcefulness
of a generous plumber/poet.”
~ Elizabeth Gilbert
“What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us”
