Rituals for New Life

Rituals for New Life are rituals for welcoming a newly born human being into the world. The first years are important, and so it is our greatest joy to offer meaningful first steps — both for the child and also the people welcoming it: the child’s first community.

This ritual is for you...

…if you would like to welcome your new born or young child into this world

…if you are looking for a non-religious alternative to baptisms and name giving ceremonies

What will your ritual consist of?

Each ritual is customized to your needs and desires. We offer a general structure that fits to the theme of the ritual, and will adjust and design specific parts of the ritual so it becomes a unique and personal experience.

Part I: Initiation

Who are the people coming together around the child? The first part initiates the child’s first community.

Part II: Gift/Name-Giving

In the second part the community offers the child a communal gift. Here the child can also receive its offical birth name.

Part III: Welcoming

During the final part the community welcomes the child officially among its people.

Why choose a ritual for new life?

Child friendly

Children seldomly come alone. With our Rituals for New Life we create experiences that are also engaging for children — young and old.

Engaging everyone

Over are the days where few people talk and everyone listens! In our rituals we make sure that all participants can engage with the experience directly.

Unique experience

Each child unique. With our Rituals for New Life you can shape the way you want to welcome the new born into your life.

What will the process up to your ritual look like?

getting to know each other

In the first meeting we will get to know each other, and find out if what we offer matches what you are looking for. You can book your first meeting with us without commitments. So don’t be shy to say hi!

1st draft

After our first conversation we create a draft of how your ritual will look like. We will send you this draft and invite you for a second meeting.

designing your ritual

During the second meeting we discuss the draft and dive into the details of your ritual. We will make adjustments to it, so the ritual matches your needs and desires.

last steps

After the second meeting we finalize the script, and we meet for third meeting. You will get a copy of the script and we figure out the last practical questions for doing your ritual.

DAY OF THE RITUAL

We prepare the ritual for you, and guide you all the way through the experience.

debriefing

After 1-3 weeks we meet again to talk about your experience.
