Threshold Rituals are custom, guided ceremonies designed to honor life’s major transitions — the joyful, the heartbreaking, and the utterly transformative.
When we stand at a threshold, we are neither who we were nor yet who we’re becoming. To move through these moments with clarity, we need space to acknowledge what’s ending, name what’s beginning, and make meaning of the in-between.
This is the work of ritual: it helps the psyche and the body catch up with change, so that transitions feel integrated rather than disorienting.
Threshold Rituals slow the moment down.
They create a container spacious enough for
truth, beauty, and transformation.
What This Work Offers:
Emotional Integration – A compassionate process for acknowledging loss, endings, or change to move forward with clarity and move forward with greater clarity and steadiness.
Meaning and Memory – Your ritual becomes a personal landmark in your life story — a touchstone you can return to when you need grounding, perspective, or remembrance.
Creative Empowerment – These ceremonies are co-created. You are an active author shaping how your transition is honored, witnessed, and embodied.
Connection to the Sacred – Whether you identify as spiritual, artistic, or secular, the process opens a sense of reverence — for your life, your lineage, and the mystery you’re stepping into.
Beauty and Artistry – These rituals weave sound, voice, writing, imagery, nature, and expression to transform, bringing beauty and meaning to the changes you are moving through.
“I feel so much lightness and ease in my body and mind right now and it’s because of you! Elana’s music was like candy for my energy body. Hearing and feeling such beautiful sound waves was so moving. I feel so light and grounded at the same time. Giddy and present.”
“You provided us with such a magical experience. I loved the way the sounds had so many layers and different qualities. When I checked my Oura ring this morning to see how I slept, my heart rate lowered to 46 last night, the lowest it’s been in a very long time!
And I had 2 hours of REM and almost 90 mins of deep sleep. It was the best quality sleep I’ve had in a long time, and I bet it was due to the restorative effects of your sound bath experience! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!”
