Rituals
Ritual is basically theater for our emotions. Since our emotions influence every aspect of our lives (regardless of how some of us wish otherwise), setting a good and effective stage for them can have a strong impact on our actions and their outcomes.
Rituals have helped us navigate major and minor life events for a very long time. Seasonal celebrations, eating or avoiding certain foods on certain days, an athlete’s pre-game observances—rituals give us comfort and can help establish a sense of security or success. For those of us who don’t follow an established spiritual path, or who find no resonance with new age practices, finding appropriate rituals can be difficult.
I strive to be sensitive to any experiences you might have with religious trauma or other negative associations. I also understand that not everyone can visualize, meditate, or focus the same way. Whether you want to process a difficult experience, observe a life event, or help achieve a goal, I will work with you to create something meaningful and emotionally safe.
If this sounds like something you could use to make your life better, that’s wonderful! Let’s start creating a ritual for you!

During and after my health crisis, I received some stellar medical care and therapy. But it wasn’t until after your ritual and the bit of magic that happened during it that I could find a new equilibrium with my changed body.
Your new home ritual was absolutely perfectly tailored for us, two people firmly in the Secular. It was such a joyful occasion, and we really felt as if we’d gone from having a new house to having found our forever home. Moving from a new apartment to an old house we’d been slightly worried it would feel creepy or empty – especially in the middle of winter with no working lights in several rooms – but once we’d done the ritual it just felt like home.
The ritual engages multiple senses, and it carries a palpable feeling of *caring.* And I loved the way you made a lot of room for me to be part of the process, too, so I was already bonded to it before you even sent it.
