Ceremonial Design: Structure, Symbols & Sacred Space

Crafting Rituals That Transform, Uplift, and Endure

Ceremonies are the woven tapestries of the human spirit — moments where time bends, the ordinary dissolves, and the sacred reveals itself. From rites of passage to seasonal celebrations, ceremonies give form to meaning and allow communities and individuals alike to step consciously into transformation.

Ceremonial Design: Structure, Symbols & Sacred Space invites students to step into the role of ceremonial craftsperson. Guided by High Priestess Trinity Moon, this course explores how powerful ceremonies are created — not by chance, but through intentional structure, resonant symbolism, and the skilful holding of sacred space.

Students will learn how to design ceremonies that are not only beautiful, but coherent, inclusive, and deeply impactful. Whether crafting a personal rite, a community ritual, or a sacred milestone, this course teaches how to balance creativity with tradition, intuition with form, and vision with responsibility.
