ART AND SOUL CEREMONIES - Lighting the path
Ellen Michel - Celebrant. The art of making ceremony with meaning is something Ellen's is passionate about. Ceremony is an important way to punctuate significant life cycle stages. Ellen works with you to create a life cycle transitional ceremony into which your personal symbols, experiences etc are woven and thus authenticate your life as it was and as it will be in its new stage.
- Acknowledge your new state of being with an appropriate ceremony for you or your loved ones.
- A ceremony created and tailored for your distinctive nature.
- Naming Ceremonies. This provides a space to celebrate and give thanks for the new baby or child and is an opportunity to introduce him or her to the wider world of the family and extended family.
- Rites of Passage (Puberty, Adulthood, Motherhood, Fatherhood) These are particularly poignant rituals because they mark corner stones of our lives and they often without recognition of their profound importance to the psychological and physical well being of the individual.
- Midlife Transition Honoring the midway with respect and reverence helps to distinguish that person as a figure of wisdom.
- House Dedication Blessing the sacred space of the home now and into the future will have a lasting effect on how we view this space.
- Loss and Grief A very important aspect of loss and grief is to give form to it and in so doing honour the loss and grief we feel and transform it into a rich posiative energyour lives after such a tragedy.
- Relationship Transition from Divorce. Often this change of status is poorly honoured but it is important to mark it in order to moveby validating new status.
- Funeral Ceremonies. Funeral services provide a very personal and heartfelt message about our loved one and are a celebration of a life lived. The importance in providing meaning is paramount.
