See Module 1,. The History, Nature, and Development of Ceremony is a step on the journey towards becoming a professional celebrant, a person steeped in the understanding of ceremony. Understanding inspires and motivates. This course enables you to transcend the mere “doing” of a ceremony and embrace its transformative power. It is a course of study, including practical fieldwork, designed to shed light on the path to in-depth best practice.

Each participant in the course is assigned their own individual guide. We have chosen experienced celebrants of excellent reputation to be our tutors and examiners to assist you, the student, to begin your study, to keep at it, to enjoy it and to complete it.
Ceremony, in all its aspects, is a significant element in the range of human experience. As a genuine celebrant, it is important for you to not only understand but also to deeply believe in the profound impact that ceremonies have on people and society. Whether it is marking life’s milestones, honouring noble achievements, or any other purpose, a genuine celebrant recognises that their calling lies in crafting meaningful and authentic rituals that resonate with individuals and communities. Such transcendence of the ordinary leaves an indelible mark on hearts and minds.
Join us at the International College of Celebrancy, where our course is not just a curriculum but a gateway to deeper understanding. Absorb the wisdom of scholars and social visionaries such as Arnold van Gennep, Joseph Campbell, Michael Mead, Mircea Eliade, David Oldfield (of the USA), Lucia Blums, Mary Hancock, Louise Mahdi, Anne Witherford, Juliet Batten, Robert Fulford, and Dally Messenger III.

Our program transcends the ordinary, fostering in-depth competence, creativity, and humility. We communicate practical skills and an attitude of professionalism.
