Life Cycle
Celebrations
Welcome the beginnings and mark the changes with intentional, whole-hearted rites and ceremonies. Celebrate your personal milestones. Connect them with universal truths.
And celebrate in the way that’s right for you. Thinkers on the nature of ceremonies and rituals – from Thomas Merton to Casper ter Kuile – feel that traditions should be creative and ever-evolving.
Bless beginnings – babies, homes, jobs
Sanctify continuings – birthdays, anniversaries, reunions
Honor endings – divorce, death, retirement
“I am so grateful to Lisa for creating a ceremony I can do with each of my foster dogs. It's great when they get adopted of course, but I kept feeling some sadness and loss. The easy ritual provides some beautiful final moments and helps prepare me (and, I believe, the dogs) for their departure.”
