Community Ritual
A better world doesn’t just happen–we all have a part to play in our families and small communities, our circles and cities and wider cultures. Community ritual–coming together with intention, tending our interconnections with each other and a living world–weaves our lives into patterns of greater meaning.
In a world fragmented by rapid change and by cultures of exploitation, violence, and disconnection, our healing lies in the power to connect, and reconnect, with each other and with the greater cycles and systems that nurture life.
It has been my great honor and pleasure to serve various communities as a ritual planner, facilitator, and creator of sacred space, performer, and officiant, working within an earth-based, syncretic tradition that weaves together age-old practices and emerging streams of connection to bring blessing to the human and more-than-human world. If this resonates with you, contact me to discuss how I can help your family or community group celebrate your most important transitions.
Offerings [Under Construction]
Wedding Officiation
For many people, weddings are among the most significant and memorable ceremonies they’ll ever experience–as they should be, since the deep joining of one life with another is both a highly individual commitment and also an important foundation for strong families, thriving communities, and healthy cultures.
For those outside organized religion but who seek deeper and more authentic relationships, I help craft and solemnize ceremonies that draw on their deepest threads of meaning and connection, bringing together the blessings of families and friends, and the witness of many worlds to celebrate their commitments.
I’m especially excited to offer these services to members of the queer and LGBT+ community, in recognition of the special significance marriage holds for a group that has so often been denied the public recognition and validation of their love and deep relationship.
Due to the highly personal nature of this ceremony and the significance of the wedding vows, at least two sessions of in-person consultation and premarital counseling are required.
Dreaming the World to Come: Group Journeys and Collaborative Storytelling
Between the source and any destination, the going out and the coming home, run many roads, and each of us has our own path to walk through life, and a direction unique to us. But all roads interconnect, and none of us walks always alone. And when in unfamiliar territory–like everyone whose eye is on the future–it’s best to go with good companions, guides who’ve been where you’re going, and strength in numbers.
