Episode #3: Holly J. Pruett Celebrant. Guide. Creative Partner.
Holly J. Pruett is a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant™️, Community Death Educator, Home Funeral Guide, and Death Doula.
Holly keeps returning to the idea that she never had a master plan and instead followed “stepping stones,” with rituals and ceremonies functioning like cairns that help us not lose our way in life’s landscape. She notes that she did not grow up with much ritual or ceremony, yet looking back she can see defining moments that served as wayfinding points, especially at inflection points in her work life. This sense of ritual as "wayfinding" shapes how she understands celebrancy as a blend of planning mind and intuitive mind: structure, analysis, and hard skills in dialogue with a softer, intuitive listening for evolving meaning in people’s stories.
Enjoy this conversation, inspired by the incredible depth and wisdom of Life-Cycle celebrant and death-care guide Holly J Pruett.
