RITUAL AND CEREMONY ARE THE ENERGETIC THREADS THAT WEAVE OUR LIVES.
Judaism has rich containers and guidelines for how to observe these moments of transition such as baby naming, b mitzvah, weddings, or sitting shiva.
Ritual and ceremony add meaning, healing and celebration at other transitions too – transitions such as name changes, conversions, gender transition, divorce, “red thread” ceremony to honor a first menstruation or a saging ceremony to honor transition into menopause, incantation bowls and home blessings for a new abode, tree planting following a birth or a death.
Any moment in time that you wish to mark is made more powerful by a ceremony that connects you to nature’s rhythms, spiritual energy and the Divine Mystery.
Ma’ayan Arts acts as a spiritual doula for these passages, helping you create observances that are meaningful, deeply connected and embodied.
