Ritual and Ceremony
As a hospice nurse and an end-of-life doula, I often use rituals and ceremonies to comfort patients and families. I will share some of my rituals with you, inspiring you to take them and make them your own. I will also encourage you to participate in the candle lighting rituals I will be presenting, not just to add to your practice, but for your own personal comfort as well. You might be surprised by the relief you will experience.
​
Candle lighting rituals can help reduce various emotional burdens, such as regret, guilt, anger, disappointment, abandonment, stress, anxiety, and grief. I have witnessed this for others, but also for myself, in fact I have implemented many rituals in my daily routine to help me with my own self-care. This insight is what inspired me to provide these classes.
​
I offer two choices: one focuses on grief and another on forgiveness. Each class includes two group rituals that may be challenging but are also very healing.
​
You will need:
Something to take notes
A candle and a lighter
Water or juice to stay hydrated
​
Each class is 1 ½-2 hours.
​
Note: I also offer private ritual classes, which are one hour (unless more time is needed) and designed especially for you and what you need.
​​
The next classes are as follows:
GRIEF​​
Sunday, April 13th, 10am-12pm Pacific Time
​
FORGIVENESS OF SELF & OTHERS
Sunday, April. 27th, 10-12pm Pacific Time
​​
​
Cost for each class is $25 (US dollars).
Two spots will always be available for those who want to attend but cannot pay the course fee.

The Scholarship Fund
I offer two scholarship spots for all of my classes so that anyone can take them, and finances do not get in their way. I have been asked how someone can donate a scholarship spot, so I have created a donation page for that purpose.
All donations will go directly to allowing someone else to take a class.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
