 Life is full of change.

Our society acknowledges certain moments of change, such as school graduations, marriages, and deaths. It tends to overlook other meaningful changes, such as the purchase of one's first house, starting a business, name changes, and divorces. Other moments that call for the support of one's good friends are health issues or losing one's job.

Ceremonies can celebrate turning points and accomplishments. They can ease the ends of relationships and of lives. Holding ceremony is as timeless as singing together with friends, sharing stories around a campfire, or raising glasses for a toast. They bring us together and they speak to our deeper selves.

Each Life Change Ceremony is unique. No one goes through a particular change in the same manner as someone else does. It's important to work with an experienced Officiant who is flexible enough to make suggestions based on what is meaningful to you.

When you look back, what milestones in your life do you wish had been celebrated or observed? Click on Examples for some ideas to help you honor those milestones, now or in the future, with Life Change Ceremonies.

I've been creating and leading ceremony since 1987. Symbolism and metaphor — the building blocks of all ceremony — come naturally to me and I enjoy making a safe place where people can let go of the outside world for a while.

I feel strongly that everyone should have access to meaningful ceremony for the important times in their lives.

Please let me know how I can help you create your ceremony.
