What if we didn’t try to fix our grief, but learned to carry it together?

Join Megan and on February 10th for Holding Space for Grief: Creating Rituals for the Losses We Carry — a 2-hour workshop exploring how secular ritual can help us navigate personal loss, fractured relationships, and the collective uncertainty we’re all feeling.

We carry so much: friendships that ended, jobs lost, the weight of daily news cycles, the sense that the ground keeps shifting beneath us.

This workshop offers a different path forward — not through fixing or bypassing our grief, but through the power of ritual, community, and carrying it together.

In this gathering, you’ll explore:

✨ Different types of grief: personal, relational, and collective

✨ How to create ceremonial containers for what feels overwhelming

✨ The power of micro-communities to create ripples of larger impact

✨ Practical tools for transforming isolation into connection

Led by Megan Sheldon, Humanist Celebrant, End of Life Doula, and author of Ritual Without Religion, this workshop weaves teaching with community practice. You’ll share in small and large groups, discovering that grief becomes lighter when we carry it together.

📅 Feb 10, 2026 | 4-6pm PT

💫 Sliding scale: $25/$50/$75

Partial proceeds will help support AHA’s vital programming

What if you moved through 2026 held by a community that honors every shift, every turning, every threshold?

This year-long virtual immersion brings together an intimate circle of ceremonial practitioners from around the world as we mark the seasons together ~ the spring equinox, summer solstice, fall equinox, winter solstice, as well as the subtle in-between moments that often go unnoticed.

This isn’t just about the big celestial events. It’s about attuning to the small, invisible changes ~ the first frost, the return of birdsong, the quality of light as it shifts week by week.

You’ll receive our newly designed Seasonal Ceremony Living Calendar, complete with ritual prompts, quotes, and inspiration to support your practice throughout the year.

If you’re ready to move through 2026 with intention, presence, and the support of kindred spirits, this is your invitation.

My word for 2026: CATALYZE 💥

In a world that often feels fragmented, I’m choosing to focus on what brings us together.

This year, I’m committed to catalyzing change ~ not just talking about it, but actively creating spaces where people connect, ideas collide, and communities form around what matters most.

Now more than ever, we need to come together. To share our stories. To acknowledge the transitions we’re moving through. To honour both the joy and the struggle of being human.

I believe ritual and ceremony are essential ingredients for living with intention. They’re how we mark moments, process change, and root ourselves in meaning. But we’ve lost so much of this ~ the everyday practices that help us pause, reflect, and celebrate together.

So I’m flexing my ritual muscles. This year, I’m creating more opportunities to gather in ways that nourish us. And I’m inviting you to do the same.

Because transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when we show up for each other, when we make space for what’s sacred, and when we’re brave enough to catalyze the change we want to see.

What’s your word for the year? 💫

This new year doesn’t need to begin with resolutions and restrictions. What if, instead, we started with intention, connection, and ritual?

Join us for our Opening the Year Ceremony on January 7th at 5pm PST for a virtual gathering where we’ll pause together, share our vision for the year, and step into 2026 with purpose.

In this 90-minute interactive workshop, we’ll explore universal rituals for new beginnings, explore your personal word for the year, and connect with a global community of ceremony seekers who believe in the power of intentional living.

We’ll create space to recognize this threshold moment and set the tone for the months ahead through meaningful practice and shared witness.

Investment: $30 CAD (50% off for Be Ceremonial members)

Last night, I gathered family and friends at the beach for our closing ceremony ~ a sacred moment to honour what was and welcome what will be.

🔥 We wrote down what we needed to release from 2025, then safely burned those words into the salt air.

💧 I poured out my wish water from last year, the water I’d gathered with my 2025 intention: DEEPER. That word carried me through this year in ways I’m still discovering.

🌅 As the sun melted into the horizon, I swam into the sea and held space for everything I’m calling into 2026. I emerged and bottled new water, claiming my word for this year: CATALYZE.

📝 Then I drew my 12th and final wish from our year-long A Year of Seasonal Ceremony offering. I was hoping for something wild, adventurous, electric…instead, I pulled: PATIENCE.

It’s not the word I wanted but it’s exactly the word I need ~ especially as I focus on sparking movements, creating change, and venturing into new territory.

So I’m holding both: catalyze as my public declaration, patience as my quiet reminder. 💥 🌬️

Wishing you a New Year full of attention and intention ~ full of glimmers of hope ✨

And remember ~ chronos time says today is January 1st, but kairos time reminds us that any moment ~ this week, this month, this year ~ is ripe for ritual. For releasing what no longer serves. For inviting in what we most need.

And we’re here to support and inspire you along the way 💫

I love books. Always have.

I have a degree in book editing and was a book publicist in my 20s. I’ve helped several clients write their own books but it’s only now, approaching 45, that I found something I truly want to write about.

While I have grown to appreciate and rely on my , especially for travel, my love language is hold-in-my-hands books.

I asked Johan for three new books this Christmas and I can’t wait to sit by the fire, wrapped in a blanket, devouring each one.

Francis Weller’s latest book is already a favourite (from just reading snippets and quotes friends have shared). His book The Wild Edge of Sorrow has been read, marked up, dog-eared and savoured for years now.

’s book Wintering is already in my Kobo library but I wanted (needed!) a physical copy. I adore this book. It speaks to my own feelings around aging, grief and tuning into the seasons within.

Finally, one of my first mentors in the end-of-life space was Tracy Chalmers She normalized talking about the dying process and inspired me to become an end-of-life doula. Her first book is The Nature of the Journey and I can already tell it’s going to create ripples with everyone who reads it.

With my new book coming out soon ~ Ritual Without Religion: A Humanist Guide to Creating Secular Ceremonies ~ I am noticing things I never did before…font choices, type settings, drop caps and call-out boxes.

I’ve learned so much from who is designing my book, cover to cover. And I can’t wait to share it with you all in 2026 💥

What books are you reading right now?

Today I burned my third wish.

This year, our Year of Seasonal Ceremony community created a solstice ritual ~ 12 wishes written down, folded, crumpled.

Each day until December 31st, we reach in and burn one without knowing which it is. On New Year’s Eve, only one wish remains. That’s the one I’ll finally read, sit with, and carry into 2026.

I don’t know which wishes have already turned to ash. Maybe that’s the point.

There’s something about this daily ritual that’s shifting how I experience time. Everything feels slower, more intentional. Each day, I pause. I choose. I let go. I’m more present to the days passing, more aware of what I’m releasing and what I’m holding onto.

It’s such a simple practice, but I can already feel myself changing ~ connected to my community, connected to the season, connected to the quiet power of not knowing.

What would your one remaining wish be?

We stumbled upon a grieving tree yesterday and it was the perfect opportunity to write love notes to our pup, who’s been gone for just over a year 🐾

It felt especially poignant to read people’s love notes to their grief on the winter solstice ~ honouring the dark and the light.

I love seeing more opportunities to witness and share our grief in everyday life 💞 thank you North Shore Hospice & Palliative Care for creating spaces to grieve together.

And we miss you Kona Bear 🐶

This morning, we gathered for our final seasonal ceremony of 2025 ~ the Winter Solstice ❄️

From different corners of the world, we came together online to honour the longest night and set our intentions for the year ahead.

Together, we each wrote down 12 wishes ~ words that held our deepest longings, our hopes for what wants to emerge. We crumpled them into small paper balls, placed them in a bowl, and drew one out without looking.

We burned it.

And we will continue this ritual each day until December 31st, picking a crumpled wish from the bowl and releasing it to the flames, never knowing which one we’re offering to the mystery. Trusting that what we release will find its way back to us in ways we cannot yet imagine.

On the last day of the year, one word will remain. We will open it, read it, and carry it across the threshold into 2026. This word becomes our blessing, our reminder, our intention for the year ahead.

✨ Year of Seasonal Ceremony 2026 is now open ✨

Join me and for 8 gatherings throughout the year:

• 4 ceremonies at each turn of the season (equinoxes & solstices)
• 4 gatherings in between, honouring the quiet, invisible moments of transition

Because the seasons don’t change just because the calendar says so. They unfold slowly, gradually, in ways that ask us to pay attention.

The more ritual attention we bring to these smaller moments of change, the more present and attuned we become ~ to the seasons within us and the seasons around us.

If you’re ready to walk through 2026 with intention, presence, and ceremony, we’d be honoured to hold space for you.
