THE ART OF CELEBRATING THE CYCLES OF LIFE.
Facilitating beautiful events that HONOUR and CELEBRATE the HIGH POINTS of our lives, making them legally official and keeping them alive in our memory.
The art of the “Life cycle celebrant©” is to co-create ceremonies that tell the story of the persons being honored. Individuals, couples or families have the possibility of celebrating in their own style, evocative WEDDING ceremonies, soothing FUNERALS, healing SUPPORT rituals, baptisms, graduations and ANNIVERSARIES of all kinds that highlight important events in your life. All this can be done legally, surrounded by loved ones, simply and in the location of their choice.
A “Life cycle celebrant©” draws on a rich heritage of rituals, symbols, cultural and spiritual traditions that originate from all over the world, without ever appropriating rites that belong to specific traditions. We prefer offering to our clients a reflection of their personal and family history and of their deep-seated beliefs, by re-inventing ways to highlight important milestones. We want to honour love, union, joys, difficulties and losses by using what speaks to our clients’ inner-most heart.
Those special moments in the life of a person, a couple, a family and a community are thus enriched.
We prefer to offer our clients a reflection of their personal and family histories, and their deepest beliefs, by reinventing ways to highlight the milestones in their lives. We want to honor love, unions, joys, difficulties and bereavements by using what moves our clients in the depths of their hearts.
These special moments in the life of an individual, a couple, a family and a community are HONORED, CELEBRATED and ENRICHED.
OUR PHILOSOPHY 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.
