Community Rituals & Sacred Ceremonies
Pleasance creates unique and custom community rituals and ceremonies to mark a variety of life transitions.
Rooted in the natural cycles framework of: birth, death, pause, rebirth
We mark time and honor all the experiences of our life that shape who we are and who we will become.

Should you fear that with this pain your heart might break, remember that the heart that breaks open can hold the whole universe. Your heart is that large. Trust it. Keep breathing.
~ Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone
Joy is hidden in sorrow and sorrow in joy. If we try to avoid sorrow at all costs, we may never taste joy, and if we are suspicious of ecstasy, agony can never reach us either. Joy and sorrow are the parents of our spiritual growth.
~ Henri Nouwen
Trust life, and it will teach you, in joy and sorrow, all you need to know.
~ James A. Baldwin
Grief is praise, because it is the natural way love honors what it misses.
~ Martín Prechtel
The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them. How much sorrow can I hold? That’s how much gratitude I can give.
~ Francis Weller
