Why Ceremony
Ceremony calls us to be witnessed and held in community. It is a way to say that we are a part of each other, part of the vast and miraculous ecosystem of elements, time, and space. For thousands of years, most cultures have created ceremonies to mark change and it is ceremony that often survives and revives out of the ashes of violence and oppression. When any of us, touches into ceremony, we touch into our trebling and often endearingly brave ancestors.
To step into a ceremony is to touch into the dreamscapes, sorrows and joys of our lineages and in that touching in, we, at best, heal, remake, and reimagine the possibilities of who we are becoming. By creating a ceremony we have a chance, in the mysterious vastness, to say, here, right here, I call in my deepest desire to a greater wholeness.
