What is Ceremony?

Ceremony is a time and space consciously intended to be apart from ordinary life, in which we create connection, to ourselves and to the cycle of Life. Every culture in the world has ceremonies that acknowledge and incorporate the major life events of those within the community, whether it be wedding vows, funeral rites, coming-of-age rituals, or anything else they culturally value and consider important to mark collectively.

What is the Purpose of Ceremony?

Traditionally, there are 3 main reasons for having ceremonies.
1) For Community Building – cultivating and deepening relationships
between people to create more harmonious and sustainable communities.
2) For Earth-Honouring – consciously experiencing our lives as part of the cycle of Life in order to create connection with our place in the natural world.
3) For Healing – coming together with a specific Intention to create more Well-Being and Wholeness.
Any of these Intentions may be
incorporated into the ceremony you would envision. Traditionally, the Shamans in the community Journey for the appropriate Intent and form of ceremony that is best-for-the-whole. Journeying in this way is my specialty and experience, which you are invited to include for your unique ceremony.
