Ceremonies of Womanhood

Ceremonies of Womanhood are powerful ceremonies to mark transitions of becoming a mother, menopause and shofting into elderhood. They can be simple ceremonies, just for you or you and I, or more elaborate ceremonies involving your community.

When I started my ministry training, I knew the ceremony element would challenge me... I had an aversion to anything remotely ceremonial! I told myself ceremony 'just didn't do it for me'... oh how wrong I was! I discovered the reason I avoided ceremony wasn't because it didn't move me, but that it moved me so deeply I struggled to be with the intensity! 
​I also realised that ceremony was an innate part of me and this awareness brought forth a deep sense of grief... and rage... that at some point ceremony had been 'ripped from my line'.  Wow that was some knowing!  â€‹

My reconnection with ceremony has been an incredible journey.  In my work with women I recognise the power in honouring our journey through life and the thresholds we cross at each stage.​

"Jo, you really got me!  I felt listened to, heard and understood in the living funeral you wrote collaboratively with me.  I found you personal and sensitive and appreciated your accurate attention to detail.  I have found the process of working with you on my funeral a healing one."
