Divorce Ceremonies and Conscious Uncoupling – NEW DATE: 29th April Zoom Workshop for OPD.
When a couple marry, ceremony gathers community to witness and honour the joining of two lives. But when a relationship ends, there is often no ritual to acknowledge what has been shared, or the loss and transition that follows. How might ceremony and ritual help both the couple, and those around them, make sense of this threshold with support and care? Come and explore with acclaimed Australasian celebrant, Wendy Haynes.
Ceremony and Celebration is a compulsory paper for the CertCelSts and the recommended starting point for those wanting to work as professional celebrants. Marriage and Professional Practice papers will follow in a logical sequence to enable you to graduate this year as Marriage Celebrants. Earlybird enrolments close soon for this course starting 30th May.
Marriage Celebrant Essentials starts 18 May
