About
Beth Bean
Creative Director & Celebrant
For as long as I can remember I’ve been drawn to artistic endeavors as a means to better understand and know myself in the world. Over the years, that calling has taken many forms - teacher, designer, singer, mixed media and performing artist, event planner, healing arts facilitator - each an expression of an inner calling I felt to bring deeper meaning, beauty, and wakefulness into everyday moments.​​
​My studies have included theater arts, eurythmy, religious studies, psychology, anthroposophy, graphic design, voice, art, and sacred ceremony. Each training has shaped how I see and respond to the the many rites of passage we encounter in life. In all moments, something is both Being and Becoming simultaneously. I witness this dance of life in nature, music, art and word but I also feel it as an inner soul gesture that is longing to co-create with spirit.
What I love most is honoring the sacred organic life process as a living art form; finding and creating meaning and beauty in the most simple of calls for celebration - and too, the most challenging of life's trials (where meaning and beauty is equally abundant.) Whether in times of quiet sorrow or radiant joy, I listen to what the moment is asking for and create a container of presence, intention, and reverence around it. As Mary Oliver wrote, “To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.” Ceremony, for me, is an act of paying attention; an act of devotion and a willingness to offer creatively what beckons to be spoken, honored, and nurtured.
Grounded in presence,
beauty, and
emotional authenticity
​​As an ordained minister, I can personally facilitate any ceremony I offer; from weddings and vow renewals to memorials, baptisms, and other spiritual celebrations and commemorations. I am also happy to work with your officiant in whatever capacity you request.
​
Alongside this work, I bring more than forty years of experience in graphic design, print, and marketing, allowing me to thoughtfully shape the visual and soul mood of each event. From invitations and signage to favors and overall aesthetic, I love creating a simple organic mood that draws its inspiration from nature, for celebrations that feel wholesome and natural, but beautifully elegant.
My work draws from a lifetime of study in the arts and spiritual traditions, and from decades of experience in design and visual storytelling, to offer deeply meaningful and transformative ceremonies and community events that awaken depth and wonder.
