Ceremonial Consultation

Is there something your heart is longing to have witnessed and honored?

We are delighted to be called upon to create original rituals to support lifeโ€™s sacred passages and the thriving of your community or family. We are especially thrilled to support movements for human/Earth liberation and social change.

Some of the types of rituals that we would be honored to create include:

  • Blessing ceremonies for a baby to be born

  • Memorial ceremonies for a departed love one

  • Wedding ceremonies and commitment ceremonies

  • Life-cycle rituals to honor first menarche, motherhood, and becoming crone

  • Divorce and conscious uncoupling rituals

  • Land blessing ceremonies

  • Rituals to support an honor the passages of the soulโ€™s journey

  • Grief rituals

  • Creating spells to seed healed futures

  • Transitioning ceremonies for those claiming their true gender identity

  • Alternative holiday rituals

  • Ancestral remembrance rituals

  • โ€œThe ancestral grief ritual Carolyn designed helped me release lots of stored emotion in my body, and since then Iโ€™ve been able to feel and connect to my life at a much deeper level.โ€

    Daniela Valezquez

  • โ€œIโ€™m in tears reflecting on how valuable I found Carolynโ€™s support in helping me craft an extraordinarily intimate ceremony that gathered my loved ones around me to witness and bless my soulโ€™s journey before a many month solo retreat. One of the most meaningful aspects was seeing, at the end, how genuinely grateful and moved my friends were to have been a part.โ€

    Mitchell Hambley

  • โ€œCarolyn created a Croning Ceremony for me that was everything I didn't even know I needed. In the intimate setting of my home with my closest female friends gathered, she created a beautiful ritual of what it means to enter into the Crone years and what a beautiful time of Love and Wisdom it can be. My only regret is that I didn't record it to be able to watch it over and over again. It was beautiful and it touched my soul deeply.โ€

    Becky Hassler

  • โ€œCarolyn facilitated a ritual to celebrate the life of my mother that was truly transformative. Several months later, I am still feeling held in pure love. I often look back on the ritual for comfort and reminding that I am lavishly supported โ€“ what a beautiful gift that is!โ€

  • "Carolyn holds incredibly sacred space beyond what most know is possible. She is unparalleled as a ceremonialist and it is an honor to work with her."

    Stephen Feely
    Shamanic Teacher for The Four Winds Society

  • "Carolyn is a gem of a human who carries the gifts of a skilled spiritual midwife. Meet with her and your life will never be the same again, in the best possible way."

    Briana Halliwell

  • "Through one-on-one sessions, group and personal grief rituals, community ceremonies, Carolyn wisely and compassionately guided me home to my soul. She is a mystic of our times, a Life giver."

What to expect from a Ritual or Ceremonial Consultation

Our ritual co-creation process could take a few different forms.

  • One session is often sufficient if for example you are envisioning a ritual or ceremony and simply want my support as you dial your inspiration.

  • In two or more sessions we can co-create: a grief ritual for your upcoming womenโ€™s gathering, a community-held land blessing ceremony, a coming-out ceremony, wedding or divorce ceremony, a ritual component for a course you are teaching, and much more. When desired, I may also be available to facilitate the ritual that we co-create.

  • I am delighted to accompany you as soul guide and ritualist through rites of passage such as birth, death, marriage, divorce, illness, and the wild ride of surrendering to soul. During our first call, we will create a map of our journey together which could last weeks or years. This kind of transformational soul accompaniment is my zone of genius; I believe my work of this kind is quite unparalleled.
