How many Ceremonies will you have in your Lifetime?
For the momentous occasions of your life, you will likely hold a ceremony to mark them. But think about it… how often will that be? Probably only two or three. These occasions are so incredibly powerful and important. Like a wedding ceremony, one hopes that it is your ONE opportunity. I believe it is thus too precious to do half-heartedly… half-way.
The people I work with are those who want to do it well.
How do we make it Happen?
It all starts when you give me a call and we arrange to meet for a free consultation. Once you have decided to go ahead, you will sign an easy-to-understand Agreement and provide your deposit to hold the date. I will create a schedule for you to review, with all the steps clearly laid out, and generous lead times whenever possible.
Then you will reflect on a series of questions at your own pace. I have had fun figuring out how to make these relaxed yet meaningful. Then we sit down together and chat. When it comes time to create your ceremony, the words and thoughts you have shared with me play out in my mind.When I sit down to write, it feels like you are there with me. You edit the ceremony to ensure it meets (and surpasses) your vision for it. I believe your ceremony belongs to YOU! Totally the opposite of templated one-size-fits-all experiences.
Because I am formally educated in ceremony and rites of passage, I understand the deeper significance of these pivotal events. I bring your hopes and dreams to life in your ceremony, and suggest rituals and readings appropriate to you. Whatever your faith or culture, I research your traditions and integrate these into your ceremony with the greatest respect.
You will be More at Ease than you ever Imagined!
The day of your ceremony, I arrive early. I only do one ceremony per day so I can be completely focused on you and your guests. I am a born storyteller and am known for my warmth, ease, and how I engage people of all ages and backgrounds throughout the ceremony.
You even receive a special keepsake copy of the ceremony that was created just for you.
