Memorial service

A memorial service is a ceremony to honour a the memory of a loved one, having no burial or cremation involved. An opportunity for friends and family to pay their warmth in respect after a loss, taking place in any location and at any time.

Handfasting ceremony

Whilst most often included in Pagan ceremonies handfasting is an ancient Celtic ritual in which the hands are tied together to symbolise the binding of two lives. This can be included in both religious and secular vows and readings.

A coming of age ceremony

Coming of age ceremonies are found in many different cultures, marking the introduction of young people into the world of adults. A coming of age ceremony completes the recognition of becoming and being identified as an adult.

 

Trans naming ceremony

The changing of name can be one of the most meaningful steps for any trans person. Whereby a renaming or naming ceremony offers a life moment for reflection of a life so far and the becoming. The changing of a name therefore joyfully acknowledges a journey of discovery and symbolises a new beginning.

House blessing

Many religions have house blessings of one form or another, identified as house healings, house clearings, house cleansings and space clearing.  With intention to protect the inhabitants of a house from misfortune, whether before moving into or to ‘heal’ after an occurrence. 

Graduation or achievement ceremony

An achievement to one person can be very different to that of another. However big or small this is the celebration of a student whom has successfully met the requirements for graduation or a personal achievement with recognition and joy.
