Panel Discussion: Our Partners in Creating Ceremony

Ceremonies are an invitation for healing individuals, families and communities during times of transition and loss.  The use of symbolism, metaphors and traditions invites us to step out our daily lives and into a sacred space where healing and transformation can occur.  Done in collaboration and in community, ceremonies can have a profound effect on how one walks with their grief.  Hear about the role of a Chaplain, Clergy and Celebrant, how we each approach and serve families by creating a bridge for this rite of passage.
