Born out of a deep desire to qualify those called to sacred service, Rev. Annie Mark, Jeremy Pajer, and Stephanie Urbina Jones have created an experiential program and practice in creating sacred ceremonies, rites of passage, and rituals.

This intensive training is offered in person and online over two 5-day segments with Zoom meetings in between. Each segment is a deep immersion and highly experiential and includes a comprehensive manual detailing each section. For information on the full training (both parts), click here.
