Private ceremonies are bespoke, sacred gatherings created to honour moments of transition, celebration and becoming.

Across cultures and traditions, ceremony has always been used to mark life’s thresholds. Moments when something is ending, something is beginning, or something within us is asking to be witnessed and welcomed.

These private ceremonies are created with intention, reverence and care, shaped around you and the threshold you are stepping through.

Ceremonies for the feminine life cycle

Mama Blessings & First Moons

I hold ceremonies that honour the sacred rhythms and transitions of the feminine life cycle.

These include Mama to be blessings as an alternative to baby showers, first bleed ceremonies, transitions from Mother to Crone, and womb centred rites of passage. These spaces offer reverence, reflection and deep witnessing.

This work honours the womb as a centre of creation, wisdom and transformation, whether held physically or energetically.

Ceremonies of celebration and devotion

Birthdays, Bridal Blessings & Baby Blessings

Ceremony can also be a way to celebrate life and love.

Private ceremonies may be held for birthdays/solar returns, bridal blessings as an alternative to hen or zen dos, and baby blessings ceremonies. These gatherings are infused with meaning, intention and presence, offering something deeper than a traditional celebration.

Ceremonies to honour life transitions

Life is made of passages. Some are visible, others deeply internal. Ceremony offers a way to meet these moments consciously and with meaning.

Private ceremonies may be held to honour personal rites of passage such as stepping into a new stage of life, reclaiming yourself after change, or marking a personal rebirth.

They can also support moments of creative or professional transition, including the birthing of a project, the closing of a chapter, or the claiming of a new direction.

The nature of these ceremonies

Each private ceremony is entirely bespoke.

We begin by listening together. We explore the intention, the threshold being honoured and the quality of space you wish to create. From there, the ceremony is shaped intuitively and collaboratively.

Ceremonies may be held one to one, for small intimate groups, or for larger gatherings, depending on what feels aligned.

What may be woven into your ceremony

Depending on the intention and the people being held, your ceremony may include:

  • Cacao Ceremony or Tea Ceremony

  • Sound Healing Journey

  • Energy Healing

  • Archetypal Embodiment & Dance

  • Creative workshop: Belly painting, talisman making, etc.

  • Ritual and Anointment

  • & more.

Location, space and duration

Private ceremonies can be held in carefully chosen spaces in and around Southampton, which I can arrange as part of the planning process.

Ceremonies can also be held outside of the Southampton area. Travel costs are discussed and agreed upon in advance.

Depending on the nature of the ceremony, spaces may be held for 90 minutes, a half day or a full day retreat.
