RedSeeds Ritual Consultation & Event Planning

Tara says, "I believe that ritual is an important tool that supports the development of a deep and meaningful connection to spirit. Everyone should be empowered to create ritual."

At it's best, ritual infuses meaning and connection into our lives. A baby is born and is welcomed into family and community. A child transitions into a teenager, and ritual honors their unique spirit and the path ahead. A couple falls in love, and makes their commitment sacred with ritual. A loved one dies, and ritual provides the space for shared grief and reflection. At RedSeeds we understand that in order for ritual to be it's best, old traditions may need to be transformed and new traditions created. During a RedSeeds Consultation Tara will help you create the perfect ritual for your new chapter, taking into account your visions and values.

Ritual Consultation  

A consultation with Tara begins with a detailed conversation about your event. You should expect this conversation to last 1 - 2 hours. During that time Tara will help you develop an initial plan for your ritual, including important roles for loved ones, the look and feel of your space, and the form, feel and function of your ceremony. We will focus on the integration of mind, body, spirit and community as equally important components of a well-crafted ritual. 

Following your initial consultation we will provide you with a written account of your session. At this point you may either decide to perform the ritual event independently or continue working with Tara as your Ritual Event Planner.

Ritual Event Planning  

"Tara facilitated a beautiful co-creative process of coming together in sacred space.  I deepened my connection to other women, Spirit, and my own sacred sexuality, and grew in my understanding and practice of nurturing the sacred in relationships.  It was a blessing to share my first menarche rite of passage with Tara's help. "
-Leigh Seelman

After your first time consultation, Tara will work with you in a range of support capacities to ensure the smooth success of your event. As an experienced ritual practitioner, Tara will bring her full toolkit to the process of creating and facilitating your ceremony. Event Planning includes all aspects related to the full realization of your ritual, including materials, objects that hold symbolic meaning, food, music and the creation of a space that resonates with your vision. As a facilitator Tara will oversee the set up and completion of your ritual with hands-on care and dynamic leadership.

RedSeeds Rituals  

Walking the path of ritual has enabled Tara to develop a range of ceremonies that are easily adaptable to your needs. This format is nearly identical to Ritual Event Planning, varying only in the amount of time spent personalizing. After establishing the nature of your event, Tara will provide ritual content and leadership. Choosing a RedSeeds Ritual is a great option for anyone who is limited by time or financial constraints. Because some rituals need and deserve more preparation and planning, not all of the listed rituals are available.
