life as ceremony - OKC and beyond

Rites of Passage Ceremonies 

Rites of passage serve as significant initiations that mark critical transitions in our lives, helping us navigate the complexities of change.

 

Whether we are moving toward something we deeply desire or stepping away from aspects that no longer serve us, these rituals provide a framework for understanding our journey.

 

They offer a moment of reflection and celebration, allowing us to acknowledge our past while embracing new beginnings. By honoring these transformative experiences, we cultivate resilience and a clearer sense of purpose as we forge our paths forward.

My Mission

I love the concept of rites of passage as both metaphor and tangible support systems for self and community. I also feel that each rite of passage should reflect the individual journey because each of us is unique. ​

 

This is the hero's journey, and no two sessions are ever the same. ​

My Vision

I work collaboratively with you to develop your bespoke ceremony based on your beliefs, goals, and budget.

 

My goal is to make these simple, easy, and effective. I hope that we can add a sprinkling of fun in there somewhere too.

Costs

Generally speaking, costs range from $125 - $500 per event depending on the event. 

​

I recognize the cost may be a barrier for some who want these services, so there are friends among us who contribute to make events like this available and to eliminate that barrier. Sliding scale options and assistance is available through scholarship funding.  Contact Dena for more information.
