CEREMONIES ACROSS THE CYCLES OF LIFE
Ceremonies for individuals, couples, families and communities. We use our clients’ story to co-create personnalized and tasteful ceremonies, in accordance to the laws of Québec and Ontario Canada. Drawn upon :
- Our clients’s culture
- Their vision
- Ancient rituals re-invented
- Modern trends
- Universal symbols
- Nature’s beauty
BABY WELCOMING, BAPTISMS and FAMILY MOMENTS
We want to celebrate the precious moment when a baby or a child enters our lives. To receive their name and be welcomed in their new family, can be for the child, as from the beginning of time, a vibrant colourful feast, filled with meaning and in accordance with your personal values.
You can choose:
- A ceremony to honour a mother who will be giving birth
- A ceremony to name a baby or welcome a child in the family.
ANNIVERSARIES, GRADUATIONS and COMMEMORATIONS
In diverse cultures, ours included, we like to celebrate birthdays. To celebrate the ages that significant for you, may it be 40 or any increment that follow. To hold a tasteful feast, crafted by a professional, help us reconcile with the process of aging and help cast a comforting retrospective on what we have already accomplished and what is to come.
Bursting with joy and pride a graduation says: “Bravo for the efforts already realized, the joy to tell the world and the courage needed to attempt the next stage.
Other important dates, in the life of a person or a community, deserve to be highlighted to remember and make sure that the generations to come remember events that have imprinted and helped us evolve. Examples: the anniversary of a foundation, the creation of a business, a memorable day. All those milestones deserve a particular attention to inscribe them in our hearts as bearers of renewed life.
SUPPORT, TRANSITIONS and LETTING-GO
Support ceremonies can foster inner peace and help face and reconcile ourselves with suffering, losses due to aging, illness, divorce or stressful change.
A well-crafted ceremony can shed light and ease crossing over a threshold into a peaceful transition. Since time immemorial, humans look to the wisdom of their environment to go through important stages. Positive and life-giving rituals can help people regain energy to cross those thresholds clearsighted.
In all lives, there are moments when changes, upheavals and illness leave us in physical or moral suffering. We often don’t want to unburden on our loved ones. Alone with the celebrant or with a few close friends, we can create a moment of mindfulness to let-go. It can be a balm on our soul that can contribute to a peaceful reconciliation with our lives.
You can choose:
- A ceremony for one or a small group of your support.
- A small ceremony with a massage.
- A ceremony for a community
NATURE’S STRONG TIMES
Our planet is alive and generous. Filled with beauty and healthy diversity, the seasons and Earth’s elements sustain and nourish our physical, mental and spiritual health. Since the start of time, harvest festivals, mounds of stone, paintings on rock have been used to thin the veil between the sacred and the mondain. Humans from every corner of the earth display their beliefs in a spiritual dimension with myths, symbolic objects and communal rituals inspired by our mother the Earth. We can now reappropriate the joy of celebrating the cycles of life with renewed symbols in our beautiful natural environment.
IN PERSON, VIRTUAL OR HYBRID CEREMONIES.
In person, virtually or both combined, we officiate momentous celebrations, well adapted to our modern world.
SPIRITUALITY
As a Life Cycle Celebrant, our intention is to honour the beliefs and spiritual symbols dear to each client. Our personal beliefs are not involved. Your story is told and your life honoured. Traditionally, life cycle ceremonies were celebrated according to our ancestral spiritual and cultural religions and traditions. Whatever your sex your orientation, your age or race, you will find in our ceremonies re-invented rituals and symbols that strive to express your personal beliefs, preferences and vision. Together we hold space to step away from every day life and honour the thresholds of your life with attentive presence.
OUR PHILOSOPY, our logo: THE TREE OF LIFE
Since thousands of years, in many cultures, the tree of life is a symbol of human cycles. The image of the tree starting deep in our family and cultural roots, going through the core of our individuality and unfolding in its leaves, flowers and fruits towards others, represents well the phases of our lives.
The tree of life inspires celebrations that want to (1) honour our roots, our ancestral traditions and the loved ones that came before us (2) draw from our present life (3) to reach others: our families, our communities and those who will come after us. This universal wisdom found in the sacred myths and rites we use in our ceremonies, bring comfort to our modern lives.
ONE HOUR IN THE UNIVERSE OF YOUR LIFE IN MUSIC AND SONG
Here is a service slightly out of the ordinary. Not a ceremony but one hour of songs, chosen by the person being honoured, that illustrate their lives in music. From their more distant musical memories, to the music that has filled their adolescence, their first loves, their active lives and the more mellow period following, this music will be sung, played in Karaoke or with live instruments by family members, friends or hired professional musicians.
PRIVATE CEREMONY with MASSAGE
In times of stress, a beautifully designed healing ceremony, combined with a soothing massage, can bring immense joy and provide solace. It is a thoughtful way to nurture your well-being, offering a much-needed respite from the challenges you may be facing.
