Welcome to Good Gatherings!
If you’re reading this, you (or someone you know or love) probably have a special event or milestone coming up and you’re wondering how you might honour the moment in a unique and meaningful way.
Perhaps it’s a celebration of life, a “big” birthday, a retirement, or the welcoming of a new baby into the family. Perhaps it’s one of those rites of passage that aren’t always acknowledged in our current culture in a mindful or honouring way, like being recognized as an elder in your community, or coming of age as a young person. Or maybe you want to mark a significant turning point, or the beginning, middle or ending of an important chapter in your life.
If you’re thinking about an upcoming workplace event, maybe it’s a team building session, company retreat or grand opening.
Good news! Whatever your important moment is, you’re in the perfect place and space to start exploring possibilities!
As a facilitator, host and certified Life-Cycle Celebrant, I help people celebrate, honour and acknowledge life’s important moments – in a meaningful and memorable way. In a way that’s good for the soul!
My intention is always to connect people to what matters most – and to strengthen the fabric of family, friendship and community along the way.
“As I was aging, my role as ‘elder’ was becoming more prominent within my family and community. Several folks felt it would be worthwhile to have a special gathering and celebration to mark this new chapter in my life and to honour the contribution elders can make even as they age. I knew of some of the events Laurel had created and overseen and just knew she was the one to take on this project! She found such creative ways to engage everyone who attended. Even those who had to send regrets were connected into the day. She created a truly fabulous celebration. Such a gathering was new to us all and everyone who attended was struck by the combination of honouring aging while having the best party ever!! My friends and family still speak of this day as one of the best and most unique events they have ever participated in.
I am so grateful to Laurel for her skills and passion for creating such a memorable day and one that will remain with me always!”
