This
is the place to come when something significant is happening in
your life - a milestone - which you would like to mark in some
way.
You may be:
- Getting married
- Changing career
- Celebrating the birth
of a child
- Coming of age
- Retiring
- Marking a personal breakthrough
- Recommitting yourselves
as partners
- Celebrating a significant
birthday
- Getting divorced
- Honouring the anniversary
of a group/partnership/business
- Moving house/town/country
- Celebrating special friendship
- Recovering from illness
- Farewelling a loved one
- Experiencing any of a
myriad of transitions or events
The above are but some of the many events which
occur in our lives, the meaning of which can be acknowledged and
celebrated in unique, personal and profound ways. This is often
done by way of a ceremony or ritual. However, these words can
deter some people who sense they may be too big, too formal or
involve a lot of work. In fact, ceremonies and rituals can fall
anywhere on the scale from small, private, simple events through
to lavish extravaganzas. The important ingredient is that the
meaning is marked in a way that uniquely reflects the person or
people concerned. And so we use the term Life Celebration to describe
the marking of significant milestones with meaning.
This website is intended
to evolve over time to provide inspiration and resources for your
particular life celebrations. We encourage people to mark their
milestones, whether they are the traditionally recognised ones,
such as births and marriages, or some of the newly-emerging life celebrations, such as entry into adulthood or honouring a personal
transition. It is through this act that we actively embrace our
own experiences of life. Life celebrations give us the opportunity
to pause, reflect on and appreciate our journey. When a group
of people meet for such an event, the space is created both to
express and to listen to what really matters in our lives.
So, once again, welcome to
this Life Celebrations website. Please do contact us so we know
what you have enjoyed here, or found inspiring or helpful so far.
We would also like to hear about what else you would like included
in future. Email us.
In the meantime, go well,
and celebrate the star of your life.
