I am a big believer in encouraging you to bring ceremony into your life daily. “Be Ceremonial” is one of my catchphrases because I strongly believe that if you can stop and breathe in precious moments as they occur then you will feed your spirit and feel more alive. By being ceremonial you are setting intentions on the daily. This will help you to align with your purpose and values, bring you closer to what you want in life and enhance self discovery and growth.  Further down the page, I share some ideas about how you can be more ceremonial. 

I believe Ceremony is rooted in our DNA. For thousands of years, women have gathered at the kitchen table, around craft circles, church halls and fires. These have been places to give emotional support whether that be from the nourishment of food, to dance and sing, to hear stories, to share stories, to gain support and connection, to embrace nature’s cycles and to help one another mark life transitions. I am an advocate of bringing ceremony back to our lives one intention at a time even if it is in a more contemporary and modern way. Join the movement now and please reach out if you need guidance to begin your own journey to being ceremonial.

Firstly though I encourage you to look closely at the photo of the weaving I did as part of an assignment for the first module of my Life Celebrant Diploma. Our brief was to give a three-minute visual presentation about a ritual we grew up with, so I tapped into my creativity and crafted my story using different colours to express the significance of how the threads relate to my own experiences.  Doing this weaving enabled me to look at ways that ceremony played out in my life. I can’t help but think that if ceremony was around for me when I had challenging times my sense of identity could have been stronger while I learnt to navigate confusing milestones in my life.  This weaving now hangs in my bedroom and is a constant reminder to ‘Be Ceremonial’ every day.
