Celebrating Community:

a course in community celebrancy

Celebrant-led ceremonies are becoming even more popular for hatchings, matchings and dispatchings – but what about the many other important moments that have traditionally been marked with ritual? Whether you are a new or experienced celebrant, this course will equip you to serve your wider communities, leading ceremonies for neighbourhood events, seasonal celebrations, group and individual rites of passage and other occasions. 

It was a rewarding course, very engaging and I learned a lot. The assignments were a great way to practice skills needed for the role. River was very supportive and provided excellent feedback. I felt that the course benefited me as an individual too, giving me the opportunity to reflect on the transitions we make through life.
