Life Cycle Ritual Consulting

About Rituals

I have always found rituals to be helpful in my life when I am going through fun or challenging transitions or when i’m repeating a mundane routine. My goal is to help you create rituals to add meaning and memories to your life. The rituals we create can be linked to your religious tradition if you have one, or they can be secular. They are always nature based.

I use the five elements system of medicine, which is also the basis of my acupuncture treatments. This is a nature based system which acknowledges the cycle of seasons, the ups and downs of life, and natural movement from one phase of life to the next. Using this system to create rituals will bring you the appropriate healing and wellbeing that you are needing at this time in your life.

I consult with you to clarify your intentions and then create a meaningful ritual to achieve that intention. It could be 5 seconds or 5 minutes… or more. It could be done in public or in private, or both.

Wedding party ritual

It was magical. I wouldn’t change a single moment of our evening. Rachel, you have a gift of leading people in way that made me feel so comfortable, at ease, and connected to you and our guests. You had just the right tempo of moving through the ritual. You left me feeling loved, blessed, special, lively, and excited!

Examples of cycle event ritual occasions:

Conception & birth

Rituals for pre-conception & pregnancy to prepare a woman’s body and her family to bring forth new life. Baby naming ceremony.

Rites of passage

Teenage rite of passage. Weaning. First food, first tooth, first day of school. First menses.

Death & grieving

The process leading up to the death and beyond. Grieving and processing divorce.

These are the three main categories in which people decide to host a ceremony. However, a nature based ceremony can be added to any life transition such as marriage, buying a new house, connecting with your land or even starting a new job. I am looking forward to crafting a tailored ceremony for your specific life transition, so please contact me with all your questions at 215-495-3229.
