Do you yearn to create more meaning for an upcoming transition, life event, or seasonal change?

Do you wish for a deeper experience in your gathering or celebration? Work with Shari to create a ceremony that will create a once in a lifetime event infused with meaning, connection, and purpose.

Shari is available to help you create a personalized ceremony to meet your specific needs and on a limited basis will lead your ceremony for your group.

“In the absence of clearly defined rites of passage, we are left with vague ‘celebrations’ that fail to honor the soul’s need for transition.”

— Francis Weller, The Wild Edge of Sorrow —

Below are examples of some of the ceremonies Shari has created for others. Choose one here or allow Shari to help you create your own unique ceremony.

  • Rites of Passage for Young Women

    Guide a young woman across the threshold to adulthood with more than just a party. Create a meaningful ceremony that gathers her "Circle of Care," connecting her with trusted advisors and her own inner wisdom.

  • Graduation Ceremony for Parents

    While graduates celebrate their achievement, parents navigate their own profound transition. Design a ceremony to honor your parenting journey while creating space for your next chapter beyond this role.

  • Remember Home

    Honor someone leaving home with a ceremony to help them lock in the feelings of home to carry with them.

  • Living Funeral

    Celebrate a life while it can still be witnessed and appreciated. Create a sacred space for someone approaching life's end to receive love, gratitude, and recognition while honoring your cultural and spiritual values.

  • Career Transition Ritual

    Mark the ending of one professional chapter and the beginning of another. Process what you're leaving behind while setting intentions for your new path forward.

  • New Home Blessing

     Infuse your new space with intention and warmth. Gather loved ones to help establish the energy and community that will support your next chapter.

  • Partnership Recommitment

    Beyond traditional vow renewals, create a ceremony that honors how your relationship has evolved and intentionally shapes its future direction.

  • Harvest Ceremony (Fall Equinox)

    Mark the transition from summer's abundance to winter's reflection. Gather your community to capture the year's lessons and prepare for the introspective season ahead.

  • Recovery Milestone Ceremony

    Honor significant benchmarks in healing journeys, whether from addiction, illness, or trauma. Acknowledge both struggle and strength while reinforcing commitment to continued growth.

  • “I have just experienced the blessing of a release ceremony with Shari Boyer. At a critical juncture of my life, Shari guided me to treasure what I wanted to keep from my career and to release aspects that no longer serve me, as I move into a new chapter. The immediate catharsis was clear, but also, she set me up with a framework for how to approach my next phase. I am deeply grateful to Shari for her approach - the perfect mix of heart and head - which set me up for success in a way I could not have imagined.”

  • "What an honor it was to have Shari do a sacred blessing of my home. Her ceremony was beautiful and moving, making us feel more connected to Earth and to the home. We thanked the house for being a space for people to gather and connect. We honored the land on which it sits. We set intentions for what we want for the future. To sit in ceremony with Shari is truly a blessing. I have had so many guests tell me that the house has an incredible energy. THANK YOU for connecting me to my home.”
