Wholistic Tools: Ceremonies - The Power of Ceremony
Ceremonies provide a map for how to effectively navigate change, providing order in the midst of chaos.
Ceremonies - The Power of Ceremony
Anthropological literature tells us how ceremonies provide a map for how to effectively navigate change and provide order in the midst of chaos.
A well-designed ceremony will not fix a problem, but it will open us up to a deeper interior dimension that allows us to be at peace with the changes that have occurred or are anticipated to occur.
This tool will provide you with insight into the three stages of ceremony and how to design private and community ceremonies to cultivate strength and hope when facing hardships.

Course Instructor
Deborah Grassman
Founder
Few people have been with 10,000 dying veterans; Deborah Grassman is one VA hospice Nurse Practitioner who has. Dying veterans taught her lessons about how to attain personal peace. Ironically, those lessons came from people who had been trained for war! As a result, a phenomenon known as “Soul Injury” has now emerged as a relevant healthcare issue for the public. She contends that 10,000 dying veterans have lessons that the rest of us need to learn! Deborah is the author of two books, Peace at Last and The Hero Within. She is a contributing author for four textbooks, has 25 published articles, and there are 5 documentary films featuring her work.
