Baby namings / Welcomings
A new arrival in a family is a great cause for celebration. Whether it is a new baby born to you, an adopted child, or a step child, you can welcome them with a suitable ceremony of love and appreciation.

Coming of Age
Modern children navigate their way through the great transition to adulthood almost rudderless. With a Coming of Age ceremony, wisdom can be passed down the generations, and a young person can gain confidence in facing the adult world. With a Life-Cycle Celebrant the young person is involved in every step of the design process, giving them responsibility over their own ceremony.

Milestone birthdays
The great circle of life takes us all through transitions and milestone birthdays, all of which can become opportunities for new beginnings with the art of ceremony. For women there is the menopause, and there is an old tradition of ceremony, popularly known as "Croning", which turns this season into a positive event where you can set new goals for the future. The celebration of Wisdom Years gives our older generations a revered place in the community, celebrates their achievements, and renews their sense of purpose for their later years.

Mother Blessing
Inspired by traditional Native American ceremonies where women of the tribe gathered to bless a woman before she gave birth, many women today decide to have (or are given the gift of) a Mother Blessing ceremony. This gathering of family and friends helps to support and prepare a woman for birth and motherhood. The mother-to-be decides on the nature of the ceremony to meet her own needs and desires. It can be a beautiful celebration of womanhood.
