“Performing ceremonies creates a bridge between the material world we live in and the world of the unseen, the divine, the power of the universe. 

— Sandra Ingerman, author of Shamanic Wisdom for Invoking the Sacred in Everyday Life

Ceremonial rituals to honor life passages

Life transitions can be hard on a human because it often involves letting go of a part of us that we feel attached to, so we can open into new beginnings with clarity and conscience.  As anyone who has ever tried can attest, letting go is not always easy. It is helpful to invoke the sacred and the spirits of our ancestors to support us with grace through these life transitions, and to implant the milestone memories firmly in our mind, so we can reference them when things get cloudy.  All cultures throughout time have enacted rituals to mark these rites of passage to support the journey of life and enrich the human experience. 

 As a ritualist grounded in her own ancestors celtic pagan roots, and supported by lived experience with Catholicism, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and the Native American traditions where she lives, the homeland of the Cheyenne, Arapahoe, Ute and Shoshoni nations, now known as Wyoming and Colorado,  Kari creates custom rituals to support the important rites of passage in your life.
