CEREMONY & SPECIAL EVENT FACILITATION

Facilitation available in person or virtual through video conferencing.

The process of working together is highly personalized and collaborative. Often times, we take traditions as they are handed to us, going through the motions of what we think we should do to mark the occasion because it is what has always been done.

But it can be different!

Together, we can co-create an experience that will be incredibly rich and transformative. The steps we will take are:

  1. Listening- The first step involves a 60 minute session where you will get to talk through what you are looking for as I listen. I will ask questions to guide our uncovering of the story to help uncover important elements that if addressed, will encourage transformation.

  2. Uncovering- Once we have talked, I will spend some time pulling together the symbolic story of what you shared and send you some ideas for the event.

  3. Co-creation- Upon receiving my handcrafted, personalized, detailed plan for the event with the embedded ritual elements, you can give feedback and suggestions to further individualize it. Additionally, if this is an event for a group, I can handcraft invitations to be sent out with personal

  4. Facilitation- If it is an in-person experience, I will set up for the event, bringing any materials we will need. The ambiance will be set and I will facilitate the experience for you and your guests (if you have them). If this is a VIRTUAL experience, I will host the ZOOM room and manage the participants and anything needed during the event.

  5. Listening - When the elements of ritual are invoked, it can be a truly profound experience for all involved. I will stay at the event for a pre-determined amount of time (based on the number of participants) to help process the experience. This could look like being available for informal conversations or setting up listening time slots. This helps close the circle for all involved and ensures that the experience is one of healing and celebration.

  6. Integration - At a mutually determined time, usually 1 week after the event, we will do a 45 minute follow up conversation that will consist of a time for sharing of your experience, guided reflection and integration techniques to solidify the experience and pull it all together.

 

After sharing my ideas, Magdalena clarified some things, and asked insightful questions. It was clear that she not only heard me, but felt me. With a wide range of ages, mothers and not mothers, old friends and new ones, she created a meaningful and inclusive experience for everyone. - Michelle, Southern California
