Celebrations

Our lives flow from one season into the next and as you mark these changes you have time to reflect and learn from your life. When you do this with others you also are able to share yourself, gain from the insights of others and connect with the meaning of life. I have been developing ceremonies and participating in circles for over a decade. I am also a dance teacher and love to bring in this creative aspect.

All of the ceremonies that are created should reflect the feeling and atmosphere that you envision. So, although I have many ideas I like to work with you to find the activities and elements that will be meaningful and fun for you. These might include:
• Wisdom circles – These circles come together to discuss elements of transition in life. By meeting with others you gain support and insights into the changing times in your life.
• Spa treatment – These include pampering your self and can be hosted at a spa or within the home.
• Retreats – Daytime or getaway retreats feature many elements and are a chance to rejuvinate. Many health and wellness components can be included.
• Dancing – It is always a great way to bring some energy into your life or to release some of that old energy that is hanging around.
• Going out for a meal – Marking an occasion can be done simply in a comfortable setting.
• Fun Games and Activities – The sky is the limit.
• Campfires – Singing and chatting by the fire is always a great evening for bonding.
