Life celebrations

Experiencing and celebrating the great and decisive events of life embedded in nature touches the human soul deeply. We are all part of nature, always have been. In our highly technological, loud and fast world, we have unfortunately often forgotten this, but deep within us the memory of it is very much alive and we may sometimes feel it when we are in the silence of the forest, watching the wind in the trees or when we listen very consciously to a bird whose song sets something in our hearts vibrating.

Nature wedding

A wonderful form of non-denominational wedding. You can either say "I do" in a very small circle in a natural, spiritual way, or surrounded by your family and all your friends, who can also be included in the ceremony. The wedding can take place anywhere in the open air, in your garden or in a place in nature that is special to you. We will discuss the exact sequence and content of the ceremony together so that this very special moment is really right for you. The central components are of course usually the marriage vows and the exchange of rings, but old customs such as handfasting or walking the spiral are also possible, as are many other symbolic ritual elements. Since this is a natural wedding, the traditional wedding plants that our ancestors used for this occasion will of course also be integrated in various ways, if desired.

Welcome or name party

It is a wonderful custom of indigenous peoples to introduce a newborn child to the great spirit, Mother Earth and all the elements that surround us, to embed the newborn in their powers and to ask for their protection. This stems from the wish that every parent in our society has that their child will go through life well, safely and protected. In essence, this is exactly the purpose of a welcoming party, because from a natural spiritual point of view, the new citizen of the world is ritually embedded in the surrounding, protective and helpful forces of nature and entrusted to their protection. Family, godparents and possibly friends gather in an open-air place that is suitable for the family, e.g. in the garden or outside in nature, to reinforce this but also to welcome the new citizen of the world, to connect him with his name in a dignified way and to give him all the best wishes for his journey, whereby the guests can be included in the ceremony in various ways. I will develop the course of the welcome party together with you. There are many possible symbolic elements from which you can choose, but your own ideas can also be implemented here for an atmospheric and happy, positive welcome or name party.

Farewell / Funeral

When someone close to us passes away, it is never easy to accept and process it. Being allowed to grieve and to deal with the subject of death and dying is incredibly helpful and important, just as we may then also increasingly deal with what a person's soul is all about, what happens during the process of dying, what comes afterward... - everything that helps those left behind can find a place and space here. In the natural-spiritual view of our Celtic ancestors, death is merely a change of form, i.e. the soul changes from the visible to the invisible world, so the deceased are always close to us, even if we can no longer see them with our physical eyes. It is therefore important to make this transition easy for the soul, to set it free and to accompany it well on this path. Good support is of course also very important for those who are left behind. In a natural-spiritual farewell ritual, the power of our native plants, for example in the form of incense, supports us in particular. The organization of such a ceremony is a grateful one, supported by the shared memories of those present, who can also be actively involved. And just as we give a child all our best wishes for his life here at the welcoming party, at a farewell party we give the soul of the deceased our gratitude for sharing his life with us and enriching and brightening our lives.

Initiation / transition ritual for children and adolescents

Unfortunately, the transition from childhood to adolescence and then to adulthood has been largely lost in our society as a decisive event. We have long since ceased to know about initiation rituals. The festivals celebrated during this time are usually initiated by the churches, such as communion, confirmation, etc. But even people who are not close to the church often feel the need to be able to offer their children something comparable. And here we find ourselves back to the initiation rituals of earlier times.

Separation / divorce

A separation or divorce is also a dramatic life event, unfortunately usually not a pleasant one and often not easy to deal with. This often makes it very difficult for life to continue well and openly. In our society, we have also completely lost the rituals that are so important for this. That is a great pity, because a ritual is fundamentally a way of communicating between our consciousness and the subconscious, i.e. through a ritual, events that are clear to us intellectually but still do not let us go can be anchored in the subconscious, processed and resolved. This is extremely helpful, especially in the case of separations, because a good, loving letting go is necessary in order to be able to continue on with life freely and as unburdened as possible and to be open to a new relationship again.
Other life events that can be accompanied and celebrated with a nature-spiritual ritual are, for example, the transition from working life to retirement, the moving of a child, taking in a new family member (e.g. a foster child or a pet), the desire to have children, a move (house fumigation, shamanic cleansing and energization), etc.
