I Perform Rites of Passage ~ Ceremonial Rituals & Celebrations
In traditional societies, through all cultures, Rites of passage~initiatory celebrations were practiced to mark the transition from one phase of life to another. It is essentially a death and a rebirth into a new life cycle. Some of the major rites of passage in a women's life are: Her first blood, marriage, childbirth, menopause & death. There are also other rituals that I honor, divorce, or a loss of some kind. These ceremonies support women through psychological shifts and renew their life force energy. Rites of Passage honor the spiritual nature of life, deepening our acceptance and understanding and celebrating our humanity.

Rituals & Ceremonies
* First Blood Ceremony ~ (Preteens-teenagers) I work with parents to create loving, informative and nurturing experiences for their daughters. Our first menstruation transforms a girl to a young woman, brings her into her power. Her fertility and sexuality awaken and become the rhythm of her life. Our wisdom coupled with truth, is the greatest blessing we can pass onto the next generation. They are ready for it! When we prepare them with stories, knowledge and tradition, they deepen their understanding of what to expect and they feel safe and held. They will learn early on that their bodies are sacred, and that this monthly bleeding is as an essential part of being a women. This has incredible impacts on their self esteem and overall female reproductive health and well being.
* Mother To Be Ceremony~ Parents Ceremony - (AKA Blessing Way) Women pregnant and becoming Mothers * Couples becoming parents. When a woman gives birth she is rebirthing herself as well as her child. Each time a woman gives birth is another rite of passage as she deepens her experience as Mother. For the father to be, this provides a nourishing space for the masculine to experience a deeper union with his beloved and to lean into community support as he takes his next steps. This celebration is so enriching and nourishes the deep spirit of the parent to be and the community.
* Crone ~ Wise Woman Ceremony ~ Women cycling into Menopause - She who holds blood within.(Many do not like the word Crone- I love it because I have a deep respect fo the role of elder in our society) . Elder, not as old but as rich, nourished, sustainable, seasoned women. I intend to be a Revered Laughing Crone when my time arrives. This is the season of life that features the harvesting her life skills and oracular gifts. If she has chosen the path of the Mother, her focus shifts from her own family, as the children grow up, to either herself or to her community. Woman is a wild creature of free will - this is not to impose child bearing on any woman - Its a personal choice! The magic that happens in this phase of a women's life is very potent and it is to be honored fully as a doorway to a deeper embodied sense of inner self.
