Come join us and learn more about rituals; why they are an important part of our lives and how they enrich our celebrant world.

Sorrento will show us around their beautiful venue followed by Charles Grinter setting the scene with a philosophical perspective of human ritual practice and common themes.

Si’iva Stanley will share Samoan rituals for weddings and funerals. Brenda Chapman will share wedding rituals. Helen O’Shaughnessy will show us the Arras Coins ritual and Jumping the Broom (that promises to bring some laughter!)

Please come along and be willing to “give one get one” – share a ritual that you have done or considered doing and learn from your colleagues in a fun networking activity.
