Services: Ceremonial Facilitation

Ceremonies are a means to honour and nurture the natural shifts in our selves and our communities, whether these shifts be physiological, emotional, mental, spiritual, sexual or social in nature.

Kore Changes provides services in ceremony development, invitations, event decor, and delivery. The creation process is designed to honour and weave the symbols (written, gestured, grown, and inspired) as requested by the community, and is done in partnership with single or multiple stakeholders.

Examples of ceremonies previously co-created and facilitated by Kore Changes:

• First moon-time (young woman's coming of age)
• full moon gatherings
• House cleansing
• Handfasting
• and (re)birthing

Ceremonial processes and remuneration are negotiated in an initial assessment. If you are interested in developing such a rite for your self, family or community, and would like a facilitator or consultant for the ritual, email info@korechanges.ca for more information.

Testimonial

Melanie officiated our Handfasting Ceremony in October 2004 and we couldn’t have dreamed a more perfect event. Melanie worked tirelessly with us in the months leading up to our big day and her enthusiasm was a constant source of support for us. She listened carefully to our ideas and loose meanderings and brought it all together, retaining the essence of our union while still addressing the practical details that made the day truly lovely. Her beautiful spirit was a blessing to our ceremony—her warmth quickly spread through our gathering, engaging and uniting everyone within the wild, blustery space. We are truly blessed to have had such a wonderful start to our married union.
