In this episode, Natasha and Claire look at the different ways that celebrants can move away from celebrancy.  They talk about retirement and how empowering it must be to come to the decision that you’re ready to take your final ceremony. When is the right time? Or do you just know in your heart that it is? They also look at pivoting away from celebrancy, which means not saying goodbye but making celebrancy something that you do alongside something else. This might be in the case of a celebrant who has been working or trying to work as a full time celebrant but has found for whatever reason, it isn’t working, or something’s come up. It might mean that there are other things that need prioritising, alongside your celebrant work. And lastly, they discuss stepping away from celebrancy altogether. Not retiring but leaving the profession to pursue other goals, perhaps with a view to one day returning, or not. It’s a really interesting and fascinating episode where they both consider their own futures as celebrants and weigh up how much time they feel they have left doing what they do, and also pondering the feelings involved in making such a big decision.
