First Moon Ceremonies for Young Girls
Holy Beloved Daughter of the Goddess, joyfully enter now into the circle of women!
These are individually planned rites of passage ceremonies designed to offer a positive view of the gift of our “moon time” to young women entering into womanhood. These ceremonies celebrate the sanctity of this event with presents, a planned enactment, and support from a circle of women close to the girl who is being honored.

Sacred Naming Ceremonies
A name is a vibrational blueprint of how your authentic expression can out-picture in the world. It is a call to remembrance of who you truly are in your essence!
One: This is a ceremony of calling in the soul name of a new life coming onto the planet. It can happen sometime around the time of the birth of a new child. This is a planned celebration with a circle of loving friends and family, to welcome this new spirit and listen for his/her soul name.
Two: Another naming ceremony is called soul naming. This ceremony is called for when an individual can no longer fit into the containers (name) his or her ego self and culture has previously established to contain that energy. This is a celebration to acknowledge moving beyond cultural labels and stepping into your power as a Divine Being living in alignment with the Essential Self.

Transition Priestess
Laughter is to death, what tuning is to timelessness.
Mystics say that we laugh upon the moment of death because if we haven’t known it before, we see clearly that all that ever mattered was love anyway! In this earth journey, we are all pilgrims on the path to the Unknown. Let us celebrate the lives of the ones who “o before” and become openers of the way in Love!
Ariel creates unique “Wakes”, memorials that celebrate the gifts that any one life stream leaves behind as a legacy for this world. These ceremonies focus on lifting everyone into remembrance of the preciousness of life while celebrating the uniqueness of the being who has transitioned on to another adventure in the Unknown!

Wedding Officiant and Magical Wedding Creations
Do you want to have a wedding that will be so totally memorable as to stand out in the participant’s minds as the most unique wedding/commitment ceremony they have ever attended?
If you want to have a wedding/commitment ceremony, and want it to be different than the usual fare, let Ariel help you create a ceremony that is uniquely your own! She has designed a variety of weddings, including Native American, earth oriented ceremonies, galactic union ceremonies, mythic Camelot/Avalon ceremonies, sword and chalice ceremonies, fairy ring ceremonies, archetypal star lineage re-unions, Alice in Wonderland tea-party ceremonies, Mayan temple ceremonies, Celtic hand-fasting, Egyptian pledging, a Pirates Fantasy Island adventure, a ceremony in a circus or gypsy tent, and an underground Kiva or cave ceremony.
