Phoenix staff offer a unique and specialised service for individuals and partners needing ritual in their lives to facilitate change.

Ritual is a part of our lives. Rituals remind us of what is important and what we need to celebrate - in essence, ritual is an enactment of important and meaningful stories and experiences.
Ritual allows us to move, psychologically and spiritually, from one place to another, whether is it marriage, death, separation or life transformation.
Rituals are important for our psychological and spiritual health. They give us the opportunity to experience, body, mind and soul, to enact in time and space to provide a healing outcome for some of life’s difficulties.
Staff at Phoenix are trained and skilled in developing personalised rituals for people needing some significant life transition, particularly in order for personal growth and wellbeing.
An example of ritual work that Phoenix staff facilitate with the client/s may include:


RITES OF PASSAGE (boys and girls)

- the movement from boy to man
(These rituals are designed to assist boys to become more responsible and independent. These rituals can, if appropriate, involve boys their parents).
- the movement from girl to woman
(These rituals are designed to assist girls to become more responsible and independent. These rituals can, if appropriate, involve the girls and parents).
- mid life crises and transition
(Rituals for life change are very important and assist us to create a new personal path that is more authentic)

SEPARATION

- This could include the means to complete the ending of a relationship
- These can also include leaving a job or a community
- Also old patterns, ways of doing things or addictions

PERSONAL WOUNDS/GRIEF

- The need to leave behind patterns and memories that no longer serve
- Abuse issues that need to be managed and left behind
- Mid life challenges

TERMINATIONS

- Terminations are often difficult decisions and raise deep personal issues. Phoenix staff have developed sensitive and powerful healing rituals for women (and partners) who feel it is necessary to conclude the termination with a ritual that places the spirit of the child back into the embrace of the earth (mother). This creates a sense of healing - a psychological and spiritual completion and return.

FINDING AND WALKING A NEW PATH

- these rituals are pro-active and assist in giving form to our preferred life path
- Rituals that assist us to be more connected to our spiritual life

CREATING THE RITUAL TOGETHER

Developing a ritual is a very individual and personal process. Staff at Phoenix have developed a number stages that assist the client to work towards meaningful and practical rituals that facilitate significant and powerful change.

3. Developing a ritual using personal symbols
4. Working together to find a healng outcome
5. Selecting a location for the ritual
6. The ritual

Ritual can bring to completion powerful personal issues that need healing. We replace the unresolved feelings and memories with a healing ritual.
