About Susan

I have been creating and leading ceremonies for over twenty years. I was drawn to ceremonial work because of my deep and abiding respect for the power of ritual, the joy that comes from interacting with people on a soul level, and a long-term interest in how initiations and life transitions have been handled in cultures all over the world.
​
I believe that everyone should have access to ceremonies and rituals that have profound meaning for them. In the development of your ceremony, I presume nothing. Whether you are secular, pagan, traditionally religious, spiritual, or something else, I will take the time to understand and honor your beliefs and values. I will support you in expressing yourself as you share a life transition with important friends and family.
​
I work with all kinds of liminal threshold times in a human lifespan - birth; coming of age; work changes; marriage and divorce; illness; loss of significant patterns, people, places, or pets; elderhood; death and dying; even seasonal or wheel-of-the-year celebrations. If it is noteworthy to you, we can build a ceremony around it - just ask.
​
The tangible, touchable things I create as a craftswoman are made in furtherance and support of the spiritual changes we all go through in life. The rattles, drums, garments, shrouds, and vessels work in partnership with the ceremonies. They connect us to a sacred, invisible, but incredibly powerful realm.
​
I look forward to learning more about you. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.
​
Go well,
​
Susan
