When we can stop and honor the significance of our experiences and the transitions we experience in our lives, we discover and reclaim a sense of wonder, strength and connectedness.  The holidays are a time ripe with the possibility for this reclamation. By infusing our traditions with the powerful tool of Ritual, we move closer to having a holiday that is deeply satisfying on many levels.

The word Ritual can mean many different things to many different people based on their experience of it. Sometimes these experiences have been transformative, and sometimes they have felt weird, or lacking in meaning and resonance. Many people may not be sure how to do it, even if they wanted to. My desire is to make this healing, symbolic artform accessible to everyone, regardless of their experience or their spiritual leanings. By first understanding our primal need for the powerful, creative container Ritual provides for us, we can find modern, personally relatable ways to process the holidays- whether our plans are big or small, public or private. 

From the very big changes to the small shifts that influence our lives, this interactive workshop will offer you an opportunity to learn more about Ritual and explore some strategies for using this creative expression in your own life. To put the information gained during our time together into practice, we will co-create an End-of-the-Year community Ritual, a New Year’s Ceremony, to mark our collective transition into another year.

I’m excited to be speaking in partnership with RevelEleven, a dynamic community of women who are changing the world through inspiration, information, and personal growth.
