Traditionally shamans are the equivalent of priests in tribal communities. As such they officiate over the various ceremonies in their tribe, from births to death, from Rites of Passage to Weddings. As a trained shaman, Chris is available to her community to perform Fire Ceremonies, Birth Ceremonies, Weddings, Rites of Passage and Death Rites. Ceremonies are about marking a transition. Chris can design with you a ceremony to suit whatever your wants or dreams are.

A fire ceremony is a rite that takes place around a fire ring. Each participant chooses some negative aspect of himself or herself that he/she is done embodying, like envy, being a victim or possessiveness. Within the protection of the four directions and Sacred Space this attribute is blown into a stick and burned up. In this context the stick is called a “death arrow.” It represents the death of an old part of your self. This ceremony is a great way to clear your way for a transition or new beginning such as a birthday, an anniversary or following a breakup. It is an excellent way of marking a graduation to another level of spiritual evolution through healing, therapy or rehab.
