Guelph Junction Community Labyrinth

What is the Guelph Junction Community Labyrinth?
The Guelph Junction Community Labyrinth is a free local labyrinth located in Howitt Park beside Silver Creek for anyone to use for their own reflection and contemplation, for their joy and fun. Have a slow meditative walk to the centre and back out again, or playfully skip to the centre, or hop sideways from path to path until you reach the middle. There is no wrong or right way to use it!

Telling your Love Story in your wedding

One of the unique features of the handcrafted wedding ceremonies that I co-create is the love story section of the ceremony. The love story is a few paragraphs about your relationship. Because I don’t believe in insert-name-here generic ceremonies. Your ceremony can tell your stories, reflect your personality and sense of humour, and focus on what is important to you.

What is accessible pricing?

Every client I work with on a ceremony can take advantage of accessible pricing if my fees are a financial barrier.

What is accessible pricing?
Accessible pricing means that there is no one set price for a ceremony, and instead there is a range of fees, anywhere between 50% of my fee and 100% of my fee. So for a handcrafted wedding ceremony

Community Ritual Creation Under Capitalism and Colonialism

How do we create respectful, nurturing, inclusive community rituals that celebrate the land and our relationship with it while living under capitalism and colonialism?

I was gifted from Spirit with the spore of an idea for a Spring Festival; a vision of an all-ages event that uses song, dance, story, and play to tell the stories of the land, express our gratitude and give honour for the natural systems we are in relationship with, and welcome the coming delights of the growing season.

Rituals of Remembrance

Photo by Ema Suvajac

To support you as you grieve the death of a loved one, small rituals of remembrance can be a powerful way to remember and honour loved ones and tend to your grief. Rituals of remembrance are soothing, intentional actions you take on a regular basis to connect to their memory.

Let’s explore some examples of what rituals of remembrance could look like to help guide you to create your own. There are many options, and the rituals or actions you do will depend on how close you were to the person who died, what your relationship to them was, or could depend on the manner of their death.

Lavender, a friend in ritual

Lavender has been a good friend of mine for a long time. I harvested this adorable little bunch from the gardens in my front yard where it grows.

Lavender brings me soothing and grounding. They teach me to soften and slow down. Every week in my ritual bath lavender essential oil and Epsom salts make up the magic that clears my energy field and helps me release.

As one of the plants which guide my business and are part of my plant bouquet logo, lavender reminds me

This Summer Solstice, let's embrace delight!

Happy Summer Solstice!

Sing praises to the lifegiver, the Sun! I am but a speck on the surface of this vast planet and still, 15min of direct midday sun can still burn my skin. Such power! Let it help us get off fossil fuels!

This is our longest day of sunlight of the year. And this solstice, I’m reflecting on delight and the healing power of pleasure.

You don't need to rush having a funeral

Funerals and Celebrations of Life don’t necessarily need to happen within the week or two following the death of a loved one.

It has become a default or convention to have those short timelines on funerals. And It’s okay to want a public service to happen soon.

But I want you to know it’s not the only option.

A win for Indigenous ceremony rights happened last week in Ontario. On October 8, 2020 the Ontario government finally recognized Indigenous ceremony leaders in Ontario have the right to be able to perform legal wedding ceremonies of their own authority.
