Life Ceremonies

Whether you’re celebrating a new beginning, an unexpected life change, or an end, our ceremonies and rituals help to seed conscious intention and awareness, bringing you back to your authentic self. If you are having challenges moving past pain or moving forward in life, ritual and ceremony serves as an active alchemist, aligning us in body, mind, and spirit, neutralizing or dissolving fear, negativity or resistance which keeps you from your best life.

Sit for a moment and ask yourself this question: “Do I honour myself, what I am up to, where I have been, and where I am going…do I hold sacred the process of my soul’s evolution and nourish myself as who I am and where I am in life right now?” Note what comes up for you.

This just may be a time to embrace change and make a commitment to living your best life. Whether you are getting married or divorced, meeting the end of your life; moving through your rite of passage, or celebrating the release and revisioning of your future it is cause for celebration! Supporting your self-discovery and evolution is something that western civilization is not well versed in, save the few traditional markers in life, but truly as we grow and change our perspectives on what is possible in life we impact the world around us.

This is an invitation to embrace our humanity and honour our journey.

Divorce

When we celebrate endings we can move freely into new beginnings. By consciously choosing civility you provide a safe sanctuary for your children to continue feeling the bond of family; you may keep close ties with the friends you have both shared during your marriage and be at peace with yourself around your decision.

Regardless of your decisions around the dissolution of your marriage, it is important to eliminate the emotional charge you hold against yourself and your partner, in order for you to remember the ‘good’ in each other and honour the gifts given and received during the time shared. When all is said and done, to live with gratitude in our hearts and minds for the past opens us to life’s potential and, of course to love again.

This ceremony can be done simply between the two of you or in the presence of children, extended family, close community or in the privacy of your own hearts. You gave plenty to this world in your commitment to each other and the building of your lives together. Your gifts as individuals will continue to impact others, and the “how” in which you choose to end your relationship has within it the potential to be a powerful gift to others who undoubtedly will encounter similar sadness and hurt in leaving those they have loved.

I would be happy to confidentially discuss the particulars of your situation and/or provide additional understanding regarding the value of participating in a divorce ceremony.

With all of life’s ups and downs, you continue to grow as individuals and it may feel as if you’ve grown apart as a couple.
