End of Life Ceremonies ~ A Masterclass
Join Megan Sheldon, co-founder of Be Ceremonial, for this unique opportunity to consider the role of ritual and ceremony at the end of life. Megan is a cultural mythologist, humanist celebrant and end-of-life doula who has curated hundreds of ceremonies across the lifecycle.
During this 3-hour interactive workshop, Megan will introduce you to the essential elements of ceremony and ritual design. She will also explore the visible and invisible moments that surround the end of life, and the many opportunities to weave ceremony into those moments.
Together you will learn how to craft and convene an end-of-life ceremony, while also considering your own relationship with grief and loss rituals. Some of the ceremonies you’ll explore include:
- Terminal Diagnosis
- Living Funerals
- MAiD Ceremonies
- Funerals, Memorials & Celebrations of Life
- Ash Scattering & Remembrance Ceremonies
- Death Anniversaries & Silent Thresholds
