We invite you to journey with us over two long weekends and learn to perform life's most meaningful and sacred ceremonies.

This hands-on intensive training will give you real-life experience and a roadmap for honoring and performing rites of passage ceremonies, including weddings, funerals, baptisms, baby blessings, baby namings, coming-of-age ceremonies, shamanic initiations, and more.

Learn how to meet and minister to families during these holy and tender times, honoring differences and the unexpected moments in between.

In this experiential and interactive training, you will gather tools of wisdom and actual ceremonies to add to your toolbox as we support you in stepping humbly, yet empowered, into your ministry of the heart.

The program is presented in a hybrid format.  You can participate in person or online via Zoom.
