Rites of Passage
Ceremonies for all occasions

Ritual and Ceremony is important in our lives. It is used to celebrate milestones and significant events, and marks the transitions between one stage of our lives and the next.  Ceremony can be celebratory, can facilitate change in our lives, and can be healing. It can acknowledge what has gone before today, and can welcome the changes that are to come.


Dorothy Shorne is a professional celebrant based in Adelaide, South Australia.   She will work with you to craft the ceremony that you want, whether it is an occasion to share with many people, or a simple event with a small number of participants.

Dorothy is able to perform a range of civil ceremonies, such as marriages, handfastings, namings, commitment ceremonies, adolescent ceremonies, and all other rites of passage.  She can also provide ceremonies for other times of transition or celebration, such as a house-warming, leaving a job or retirement, launching a new business, etc.  Ceremonies may be conducted privately, for the Corporate, or for the Civic Sectors.
