Ritual and Ceremony

Ritual and Ceremony are woven into everything I do, as a hospice nurse, an end-of-life doula, and as a human being navigating life. These practices have helped me face what I carried around with me most of my life. The rituals have taught me to honor it, and finally let it go. They have taught me how to release regret, soften guilt, and loosen the grip of old disappointments. They have been profoundly healing, and it is this healing that I hope to offer you.

​

In each class, I will share gentle tools and simple practices that you can bring into your own life. Together, we will participate in two candle-lighting rituals, each one designed to help you acknowledge what weighs on you and create space for something lighter.

​

One class focuses on grief. You will learn ways to soften the ache, meet your grief with tenderness, and navigate it with a little more ease. I will lead two rituals: one to help release the weight you have been carrying, and another to speak what was left unsaid, whether it is a message, a goodbye, or a moment of truth you didn’t get the chance to share.

​

One class explores forgiveness of self & of others. In this class, I share what rituals have taught me: we don’t have to keep dragging the past with us; childhood wounds, painful relationships, or the moments that still ache. Forgiveness becomes a way of saying, "I deserve to move forward without this heaviness." It isn’t about excusing what happened; it’s about freeing ourselves from the weight of it. I will lead two rituals where you can acknowledge what has shaped you, offer yourself compassion, forgive where you can, and gently let go, so that you can step into your life with more ease and a little more lightness.

​

For each class, please bring:

A candle

A lighter

Tissues

Something to drink (hydration supports our bodies when we touch tender places.)

​

I hope these gatherings offer you healing, softness, and a sense of release as you move toward a lighter, more peaceful way of being.

​

Each class is 1 ½-2 hours.

​

Note: I also offer private ritual classes, which are one hour (unless more time is needed) and designed especially for you and what you need.
