Creating Life Rituals

“All day I think about it, then at night I say it:
Where did I come from and what am I supposed to be doing?
I have no idea – my soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that
and I intend to end up there.
Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.” Rumi

Life is filled with transitions, some painful and others delightful. All carry a sense of Mystery with them and make us wonder, “Who am I becoming now?” We can pass through these invisible portals without awareness and miss fine opportunities. On other occasions we are keenly aware that a shift is happening and we may desire it!

Transitions deserve attention so we can taste their hidden blessings. Our data-driven lives can make us overlook or discredit the wisdom and grace which want to reach and heal us from within. Rituals are a means for discovering new truths and allowing our hearts to accept/embrace what is happening to us with contentment.

There are many events prompting New Beginnings: anniversaries, home blessings, birthdays, baptismal journey insights, times that call for gratitude for healing or recovery, spiritual highlights, occasions marking closures like divorce, occasions to make public your commitment (and wake up friends) to concerns close to your heart such as care for the earth or justice issues. It’s wonderful to simply Celebrate Life!

These are all occasions to claim and honor: I am Alive, I am Valuable, I am Loved – no matter how much I struggle or feel alone – no one can take that from me!

Creating Life Rituals stirs energy, Spirit and connections with where you are in life. It creates strength for the living out of your calling. It gives meaning and joy by encouraging you to manifest the highest aspirations or your life. And every Ritual is unique.

With decades of experience Revs. Margareta Dahlin Johansson and Steve Harms will meet with you to discern and identify the yearnings of your heart. Rituals can be private, a gathering with a few friends or larger public events. We will then create and facilitate a ritual with and for you which is grounded and graceful. You will feel charged and happy!
