Rituals and Rites of Passage

Inspirational*Transformational*Empowering

Why Rituals? Why Now?

CeremoniesLife and work can become a habitual series of activities bereft of aliveness and enthusiasm. Just going through the motions leaves us depleted and disheartened. A ceremony or a ritual activates the life force, unleashing the passion and power of people and organizations.

Ritual, in our culture, is an underutilized tool for personal and collective empowerment. In the U.S., we practice just a few rituals such as birthdays, marriages, graduations and funerals.

Connie Clark’s custom designed ceremonies for life passages, projects and celebrations harness the energy of mind, heart and spirit, creating successful outcomes. Gift yourself or your company with this uniquely effective approach.


What is a Ritual?

A ritual is a conscious act that results in a positive transformation of thought, feeling and behavior. A ritual or rite of passage empowers aspects of the psyche not otherwise available, creating the birth of a  "new self".

A woman’s story of her birthday ceremony:

As I approached my 60th birthday, I was unsettled, anxious and fearful of becoming 60, an age that represented loss and changes I did not welcome. I had few positive female role models to light the path for this transition. My dearest friend suggested a trip to Mexico for a week, with Connie Clark, in the lovely seaside village of Sayulita.

On the evening of my birthday, Connie prepared a ritual on our patio, overlooking the ocean. Flowers, shells and stones provided an altar. Connie invoked models of inspiring women from history and current times to lend me support in my journey of transition. She encouraged me to let go of anything that stood in the way of my becoming my most creative self. I felt blessed, honored and empowered as I stepped into the new phase of my life.

Soon, I will celebrate 62 years. Remembering the ceremony that supported me in turning 60 renews me with the strength and love I felt in that significant passage. Thank you, Connie!” Joyce Webber. Owner, When Parents Age
