Q: Will you do ceremonies around other life events, or only death?
A: I am open to other events! Contact me with your idea and we’ll see what we can make work.
Q: I like the idea of a secular ceremony but I have no idea where to begin – can you help?
A: Of course. I think removing religious ideas from an occasion can be freeing, but it can also feel overwhelming to start from scratch. I have templates, ideas, and am happy to collaborate and brainstorm with you to create a ceremony.
Q: What are some ideas I can be thinking of when planning a sacred, secular ceremony to honor a death?
A: What music did that person like? What poems, books, food, drinks? Were they into gardening, or some other hobby? Did they like the mountains, or camping, or did they play an instrument? What was vivid about their life? What stories do you want people to share about them?
Sometimes just brainstorming all the things that made them human will give you ideas about the rituals and artifacts that could make up a ceremony celebrating their life and its ending.
