The story continues

If you've landed here from Narrative Communications, welcome. I'm no longer offering brand storytelling ~ but the storytelling hasn't stopped. It has found a new home here at Be Ceremonial.

A new kind of storytelling

Narrative Communications was where I helped organizations find and tell their stories. Over time, that work morphed into a different kind of storytelling ~ the stories we live through grief, transition and rites of passage, and the silent thresholds that so often go unmarked.

Today I'm a humanist celebrant, end-of-life doula and ceremony guide, and the founder of Be Ceremonial. I still believe in the power of a well-told story. I've just come to see that some of the most important ones are the ones we hold together, in the hard moments of a life.

Where it all began

A little reminder of where this story started.

Still here for organizations

I continue to work with companies and teams ~ now helping them meet the moments that work life rarely makes room for. I support workplaces when:

  • a team member dies
  • a colleague is living with an illness
  • someone is moving through a life transition, like divorce
  • people are holding grief around fertility and pregnancy loss
  • a team is navigating layoffs or firings

Weaving ritual into the workplace

I believe we need to weave ritual into our workplaces, so we can support each other through both the visible and the invisible losses. Together, we create rituals at every level:

Candles and green sprigs arranged in a circle around a clay bowl on a patterned cloth

Personal rituals

Simple practices that help individuals mark what they're carrying, and bring their whole selves to work.

Team members gathering for a workplace grief and loss workshop

Team rituals

Shared moments that help colleagues grieve, honour and move through change together.

Floor cushions and chairs arranged in a circle around a rug, ready for a circle gathering

Organizational culture rituals

Lasting traditions that build a culture of care, so no loss goes unacknowledged.
