CEREMONY
Being
a Civil Celebrant is the most meaningful and deeply
satisfying experience one could wish to explore.
Every ceremony is a new artwork with new artists.
My faith and conviction in the process continues.
I’ve witnessed that ceremony creates a transformation
and that through the power of this change, those
involved can rise above the inexplicable state of
affairs that we as human beings on this earth find
ourselves in, and touch a deeper feeling of shared
humanity.
Sacred time and sacred space are chosen for a ceremony
because it gives power to the ritual practice to
be undertaken.{ritual comes from the Sanskrit ‘rita’
which refers to both art and order.
Ceremony as an‘artform’ provides organic
order, a dynamic expression through which the energy
of an event can reach its larger meaning.
Ceremony is used as a bridge and an entrance into
a new state of awareness, celebrating the evolutionary
process in our lives and those whom we care deeply
for..
Experiencing a well-crafted ceremony sustains and
shapes our emotional attitudes, provides us with
life purposes and energizes us. It offers both meaning
and momentum.
Let us create true ceremony, true meaning and celebrate
all life.!
Regards, Caroline.
