Ceremonies

Handfasting

Handfastings are wedding ceremonies, based on the ancient tradition of 'tying the knot'. There are many different handfasting techniques, and I offer the 'hoop and wand' and variations of this which is really special.

Renewal of Vows

For those couple who have had a couples ceremony (such as a wedding) in the past and wish to make new promises to each other and reaffirm their love. 

​

Couples sometimes choose to hold these at landmark anniversaries, but the only 'right time' is the time that feels right to you.

Incense Blending Ceremony

Incense blending ceremonies are popular pre-wedding ceremonies where the couple will select incense ingredients and blend them together, weaving their intentions into the incense that will be used within your handfasting. 

​

Alternatively, these make beautiful ceremonies to mark a special moment in your relationship such as an anniversary. 

Naming Ceremony

Naming ceremonies are not just for babies! Whilst many parents hold naming ceremonies for their new child, welcoming them into their new community and into their name, adult naming ceremonies are popular too. 

​

These can be due to a change of name, reclaiming an ancestral name or a name gifted through spiritual guidance, through change of gender and many other reasons. This is a space to stand in your sovereignty and to own your name, held in sacred space. 

Menarche Ceremony

Menarche marks the first menstruation. This represents a coming of age and entering into a new community. 

​

This is an empowering time in a girl's life and the creation of an intimate ceremony suited to the girl in question welcomes her and empowers her, allowing her to say goodbye to pre-pubescence and to learn from the wisdom of the women around her. 

​

These ceremonies break down fear and stigma around menstruation.

House and Land Blessings

House and Land Blessings are suitable for both new homes or those that have been well lived in. 

​

These blessings cleanse the space and invite you to deeply connect with your home. I will always do a consultation to find out what you want from the blessing and to feel into the ceremony specifically for you.

Passing Over Ceremony

Passing over ceremonies are held as pre-funeral ceremonies or as a memorial. These intimate ceremonies allow the closest to the departed to be held in their grief space, ensuring nothing is left unsaid and helping the departed on their onward journey.
