I would love to start this new year by making myself open to opportunities to create ceremony and ritual for people transitioning through significant phases in life.
Rites of Passage celebrations can be a profoundly healing and connecting way to signify the ending (death) of something and the beginning (birth) of the new version of oneself. Taking part in a ritual or ceremony and being witnessed by your community is powerful and it’s why people from every culture have found meaningful ways to recognise important changes and transitions.

✨ Menarche celebrations (first period)
✨ Mother/ baby blessing (as an alternative to a baby shower)
✨ Bridal blessing (as an alternative or in addition to a Hens party)
✨ Autumn Woman Circle (transition to menopause)
✨ Divorce/ break up celebration or grief Circle
✨ Retirement

These are some of the Circles I have facilitated or participated in over the years and I’m excited to tailor something magical for any individual.

Please message me directly to find out more if you’re interested in gifting a rite of passage experience to yourself or someone you care about.
