Ceremonies

for life’s most precious moments

I’m shonali, you found me!

Special occasions ask you to dive deeper, to bring to the surface heartfelt truths, to walk across a threshold, to meaningfully celebrate a significant moment in time.

Whether tied to joy, sorrow or to the everyday, I relish marking these moments. Work with me to open up your vision to what is possible through song, poetry, movement, meditation & creative ritual.

I've guided ceremonies for: soon-to-be mamas, birthdays, wedding showers, nuptials, staff celebrations, retirement, house warmings, voting, relocations, death and more.

I’d love to guide you into an intentional exploration of an important sacred aspect of your life experience.
I’ve been creating rituals since 1998 & I revel in the unique process of creating meaningful memorable heartfelt ceremonies. Choosing to celebrate, honor, & remember aspects of our lives, even seemingly mundane aspects, creates a conscious shift within ourselves. Cross the threshold into the heart of your life’s milestones!  Make memories for a lifetime!

Ceremonies are customized so your spiritual & religious affiliations, if any, are honored. I incorporate references to nature, music, song, guided meditation & embodiment practices which open up the pathways for release, growth, fulfillment & completion. Inquire to learn more & determine if we’re a good fit.

I have guided practices for corporate leaders, couples, birthdays, graduations, baby blessings, candidates waiting for poll results, families grappling with death & illness & more.
