WHAT: Life-Cycle Celebrants serve more than individuals, couples, and families. Celebrant-led community events and rituals can strengthen bonds of belonging and create an experience of wholeness that's greater than the sum of the parts. In addition to a Life-Cycle Celebrant's usual creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail, many community ceremonies require strong partnerships. Life-Cycle Celebrant and longtime community organizer Holly J. Pruett will share a range of examples of ceremonies developed in partnership with workplaces, public agencies, and community organizations. 

Topics:

• Developing your partnership strategy: Who, What, Where, When & Why
• Role definition: Who leads & who follows?
• Special considerations for working with public agencies & elected officials
• Working with seasonal and annual rhythms
• Responding to an unmet need vs new ways of walking through old portals
• Crisis response: deciding for yourself, is this in your wheelhouse
