Community Process and Celebration

Sharing stories about you, your loved ones and your community is a powerful way to celebrate life or process the experience of your family and community.

We partner with families and communities to tailor performances and workshops that support the process of reflection, transformation and celebration. We are experienced in contributing to ceremonies, memorials, festivals and other community events, bringing dynamism and building connection.
