COMMUNE THROUGH RITUAL

As a species, humans have an extensive history with enacting Rituals* to consciously signal change in life cycles.  Rituals let us step out of ordinary time and into a safe and sacred space within which we can intimately commune with the spirit of life.  Ceremonial time guides us into mythic, psycho-spiritual dimensions that enable us to elevate our consciousness and encounter our soul.  In this place we can broaden our sense of identity and discover deep meaning of life's transitions. 

Rituals serve many purposes depending on your intention.  From celebrating the seasons to honoring the recently departed, rituals are essential accompaniments through life.  Guided by extensive time in ceremony, Rite in the Wild co-creates rituals for individuals and groups seeking to ground into deeper dialogue with seen and unseen allies that support our growth and evolution.

Rite in the Wild offers several opportunities to commune with the sacred:

Transition Ceremonies are custom rituals that support individuals and communities in making meaning while crossing the threshold of change.  We collaborate with you to create the sacred container and elevated context for marking a change, renewing commitments, or stepping into power.  These ceremonies can be a couple of hours to a day or longer.  The settings can be intimate or expansive, depending on your needs.  To learn more and co-create a ceremony, please contact me.  Examples of transition ceremonies include:
  • Rites of Renewal
  • Childbirth
  • Commitment/Marriage
  • Grief Ritual
  • Cronehood/Elderhood
  • Rage Ceremony
  • Rites of Empowerment
  • Divorce/Separation
  • Death/Funeral

Medicine Walks are half day to day-long rituals designed to empower your soul and provide clarity of your gifts.  This ceremony invokes your deepest longing and truest voice by letting you spend deep time in nature with a burning question you have.  As you embark on your walk, I hold space for you at a base camp.  Upon returning from solo time, your story is shared in council and we will mirror back to you the salient themes, allowing the medicine to sink further into your bones.  To create the most intimate and meaningful experience as possible, I currently offer individual and small group medicine walks.  Contact me for a free consultation to see if a Medicine Walk is right for you.

Beauty Ceremonies are dedicated to offering gratitude and beauty to the earth and our Ancestors for the abundance of life we share.  These rituals are a giveaway, intended to honor our relationships in their unique forms. Two Beauty Ceremonies are held each year - The Global Earth Exchange (GEX) and the Ancestor Celebration (Dia de los Muertos).  Please contact me to learn more about the GEX or to receive support in creating your own Ancestor Celebration .

"It is through rites that Heaven and Earth are harmonious and sun and moon are bright, that the four seasons are ordered and the stars are on their courses, that rivers flow and that things prosper, that love and hatred are tempered and joy and anger are in keeping . . . He who holds to the rites is never confused in the midst of multifarious change . . ." 
-Hsun Tzu (Confucian)
