As the Irish Ethical Celebrants Society begins new ceremonies celebrating children of various ages, I'm joined by fellow Ethical Celebrants Clara Malone of Coastal Ceremonies, and Dermott Langan of lovecelebrant.ie to discuss Stepping Stones Ceremonies, and Coming of Age Ceremonies.

These ceremonies focus primarily on children who may not be participating in First Communion or Confirmation ceremonies, and in this episode we explore the choice available to parents and families; the benefits of involving the children in the occasions; and the importance of celebrating and encouraging children who many not want to take part in religious rites.

You can get in touch with Clara on the Coastal Ceremonies Instagram page, or through their website. You can contact Dermott through his website lovecelebrant.ie

And indeed the Irish Ethical Celebrants Society have celebrants all over the country, so you can check out your nearest celebrant offering these ceremonies here.

As always, I want to hear from you. You can get in touch with the Celebration Sessions Podcast via Instagram here.
