Memorials and Celebration of Life
When we can gather in community to honor and lift up the memories, stories and truths of our beloved ones, the fact that they are no longer with us often sinks in a little more deeply. We may be able to breathe more fully and possibly give ourselves permission to grieve and let go a little more. Ore will create and facilitate the appropriate container to choose the words, readings and atmosphere to drop into that space of healing and remembrance.

Bar/Bat/B’Mitzvah Ceremonies
for adults and youth
This Rite of Passage marks a significant turning point in our human development both biologically as well as symbolically. This rite is ancient and has supported countless Jews to feel a greater sense of connection to the community by embarking upon a process of discovery to your relationship to God and the Torah, learning prayers and their meaning and clarifying your intention as a Jewish person in our world today. Our b’mitzvah journeys are earth-centered and grounded in diasporic practice that disavows zionism. As an adult this process can be very healing whether or not you had this ceremony as a child, especially if you are looking to enter into a Jewish community that is aligned with your beliefs and values.
** If you have a cohort that would like to participate in this together, please reach out! This will be in collaboration with Rabbi Chel Mandell and the TzimTzum Collective (add site)
Rates: Variable based on specific situation, travel etc. Please reach out to discuss your needs!

Testimonials
Wren was the officiant for our wedding and we could have not been happier with our entire experience. From scheduling meetings with us prior to the wedding to adding their own energy and flare to our ceremony, Wren really captured who we were as a couple and helped make the entire wedding planning process that much less stressful. The meetings that we scheduled with Wren prior to the wedding were extremely helpful in both organizing the ceremony and in helping us verbalize our true feelings for one another (something that we both can struggle with at times). In addition to being able to verbalize our feelings for one another, we both left our meetings with a greater sense of appreciation for one another as a result. Wren made sure to pay attention to the small details of the stories that we shared with them about our relationship and seamlessly incorporated them into our ceremony that we shared with our families. They brought a great sense of appreciation and warmth to our wedding and we could not have asked for more.
