Tell Me Your Story

How's this for "meant to be"? I booked my first wedding for 2013 while backpacking around Oregon’s Three Sisters a few weeks ago! (Don't worry, not all of my prospective clients are required to do a 50 mile hike with me.)

Since completing my eight-month certification program from the Celebrant Foundation & Institute last year, I’ve had the privilege of creating some amazing ceremonies. 

...Three gorgeous weddings...A ritual of remembrance for a community that had lost several beloved members...
Two transition ceremonies for remarkable young women marking big life passages... A “ceremony to come home to oneself,” honoring a 70th birthday... And I provided resources and writing to support those mourning the loss of both human and canine family members. 

Now I’m finally getting around to sharing my new work with others. This blog is where I'll tell stories of the many creative ways people are commemorating or celebrating the important moments in their lives.

How have you mourned and marked the passing of those close to you? Celebrated the arrival of new life or a new family configuration? Supported the rites of passage of the young people in your life? Made peace with aging? Strengthened the bonds of your community?

We need more time and space in this world to witness one another, to connect in our joys and sorrows, to bring together "the visible and invisible," as David Whyte says so beautifully, "to produce the miraculous."

Tell me your story. (So many options: Comment on my blog... Post on my Facebook page... Send me an email...
Hey, my phone number is even at the bottom of the page!)

What deserves commemoration or celebration in your life?

Holly, so great to see the growth of your work as a celebrant. You have twice provided such support and assistance to my family when we lost someone close, and I am forever grateful. Needless to say, I plan to involve you again--hopefully for a happier event!

I decided to learn more about some of the impressive folks I work with on the board at PVS and I found your website. I'll be requesting your consulting services in the near future as my daughter is rapidly approaching her teenage years and our family is in need of marking that amazing transition in a memorable, tacit way. Best, Andrew
