Life Passages
In everyone’s life, changes happen that move us from one state of being to another. Rites of passage recognize the importance and sacredness of these transformations.
We all go through many life passages throughout our life. I can help you design your own ritual for any of life’s transformations and provide spiritual support. Some possibilities are below.

Weddings
Weddings
As ordained clergy,
I can officiate a legal wedding,

a re-commitment ceremony,
or a handfasting, depending on your desires and needs.
We can work together to create a beautiful ceremony.

First Blood (Menarche)
First Blood
The time of menarche is a profound transformation for a young woman. It is important for her to feel seen and supported by the women in her life.
Retroactive Menarche rituals can also be very powerful later in a woman’s life.
Initiations
Initiations
Initiation is something that we are sorely missing in modern life. It can be a time of transformation out of childhood, a time of gaining access to the
Sacred and to Wisdom.
Initiation can also mark other transformations later in life.

Divorce
Divorce
It’s important to recognize this huge shift in life by consciously uncoupling. Rituals of divorce or separation can include both partners, but don't need to.
Miscarriage
Miscarriage
This grief-filled event is often not ritualized, nor even talked about much. Losing a baby in the womb is a rite of passage many women experience. Ritualizing the experience can be a powerful way to recognize and honor this time.

Croning
&
Menopause
Croning & Menopause
Older women often
do not feel seen in the wider culture we live in.
Recognizing the shift to becoming an elder is one way we can bring back true Eldership.
