Living The Sacred with
Dr. Illana Berger
Call for Appointment: 510-339-8382
Rituals:
Special birthday rituals, house blessings, graduation
rituals, personal rituals
I work one-on-one with you to acknowledge important
life passages in your life, or the life of a loved one, in
distinct and powerful ways. I design these ceremonies
for you following a preliminary meeting, either in person, on
the phone or via email. My commitment is to empower you
to arrange and enact the ritual on your own, however I
will joyfully step in and act as facilitator if you wish.
The facilitation of these individual rituals/ceremonies,
which can be performed privately or with family and friends,
serves on many levels:
- A ritual has the power to infuse special occasions
and personal milestones with a sense of the sacred… whether
it is a new birth, a 16th birthday, or retirement,
a ritual deepens both the impact and the meaning these
milestones have on our lives and upon our destiny. From
menarche to menopause, promotion to retirement,
engagements and anniversaries, to loss, death and divorce,
a ritual opens the door of possibility for our future.
- A ritual celebrates new beginnings. By blessing
a new baby, a new mother, or a new home; a ritual brings
promise, inspiration and joy to the occasion. Through
a baby blessing-way, home blessing, or special bridal
shower you have the opportunity to mark the celebration
with the presence of the sacred. The event then becomes
transformative for we are directing our intention and
attention toward a particular outcome through our symbolic
actions. This activates movement in our lives toward
our inspired goals.

Transformation and Transition:
Separation & Divorce rituals,
Rite of Passage, Transition
rituals, Memorials
- A ritual eases difficult transitions. Through
special and unique memorial services; separation rituals
for the endings of special relationships or marriages; or by releasing
old "baggage" and obstacles: physical,
mental or emotional, these rituals support the beginning
of personal or familial healing. Truly
transformative ceremonies and rituals empower us to infuse
magic into our ordinary lives, recognize
major life events in profoundly satisfying ways, and
remember our connection to our deepest selves and
each other.
Working one-on-one with hands on energy work and
a spiritual exploration of physical and spiritual ailments
and challenges, we enter into a transformaional process of healing.
