Ceremony

Ceremonies to mark
life’s transitions

Facilitation of ceremonies

Creative and grounded facilitation of ceremonies to mark life’s transitions, from grief ritual to naming ceremonies to land-honouring celebrations, and much more.

As a ceremonialist, I facilitate collective experiences to witness and tend to our grief, and honour transitions or endings with grace.

Tending to our grief helps us metabolise loss and stay open, connected and creative. I believe that grief tending is the medicine of our unsettling times, necessary at all levels: planetary, community, organisational and personal.

Check out Events for upcoming grief circles and rituals, or get in touch for bespoke ceremonies for your family, community, festival or event.

“I pin my hopes to quiet processes and small circles, in which vital and transforming events take place.”

  • Emily is a thoughtful and beautiful facilitator. She designed and held a ceremony to mark the end of my career. She was a joy to work with from start to finish, considering all the big and little things that together created an event that surpassed my expectations. She took the time to understand what I needed, and held the space beautifully on the day, putting everyone at ease and holding us through some intense emotions.
