Group Ceremony Coaching

Each coaching package includes three (3) 90min guided sessions with up to 6 participants + 1 coach. Typically these are done biweekly or monthly to allow time in between for reflection, preparation and ceremony planning. It also includes unlimited email support from Megan for the duration of the cohort. 

We follow a Mastermind Model where each participant is invited to share a ceremony challenge where they can request support to envision, plan and perform a ceremony of their choosing. 

Each session follows a similar outline:

~ Opening ritual

~ Introductions and/or shared learnings since our last session

~ Assigned participant presents a ceremonial challenge in a specific format (to be shared with the group ahead of time) The group then responds to the challenge with ideas, inspiration, storytelling and guided coaching support.

~ Group Reflection

~ Closing Ritual

We strongly encourage each participant to make each of the 3 sessions in their cohort as we co-create the community environment. Each participant will be assigned one of the sessions to present their ceremonial challenge, which we expect them to be present at. However, we recognize that life happens so each session will be recorded and made available to the group the following day. If you have to miss your presentation day, please give as much notice as possible and you may not be given another time to present, depending on the group.

Our group coaching is designed for people who are actively convening, hosting or curating experiences for others, whether it’s professionally or personally. This could include hospice volunteers, chaplains, celebrants, doulas, friends, neighbours or community builders. If you are drawn to creating ceremonies and rituals for others, this experience is for you.

Our group coaching experiences are co-created by the participants that enrol and led by expert ceremonialist Megan Sheldon, whose hourly rate is $125.

In order to make ceremonial coaching more accessible, we’re offering a sliding scale model where you can pick the tuition price point that feels best to you. Here are some guidelines to consider: 

Subsidized Tuition: You would like to request financial support because you are facing financial instability or have faced systemic oppression or injustice.

Standard Tuition: You can pay the regular amount requested and are in a financially stable place, but cannot support someone else at this time.

Supporting Tuition: You are in strong financial position and would like to support someone else with a subsidized request.

Payments are non-refundable within 30 days of the first session. If you need to cancel outside of that window, you will be charged a 25% admin fee and refunded the rest. All sessions will be recorded so if you miss one, you can still watch it after. 

We welcome participants from all over the world. We’re offering two cohorts this Summer, one weekday in the early evenings Pacific Time and one weekend in the late morning Pacific Time. Please choose the time that works for you depending where you are in the world. If the timing doesn’t work, we will be offering new cohorts in Fall 2025.
