(hover over image for their name, click on the image for details)

Mara Evenstar, co-founder of Conscious Rites, creates and delivers beautiful, meaningful, and powerful ceremonies of many kinds that add depth, meaning, and connection to all of life's big transitions. She is a mother, grandmother, scholar, priestess, and business owner and her many endeavors share her interest in exploring the divine feminine. For many years she taught psychology at Washtenaw Community College, has a master's of transpersonal psychology, and is currently working on her doctorate at Meridian University under Dr. Jean Huston. She has also co-founded two local social enterprises, Sophia Unfolds, a program for transformation and a growing community of awakened women who come together for support, and New Myth Works, an LLC that provides a dynamic sanctuary for our conscious evolution with a focus on evolving consciousness. Last year she opened the Ypsilanti retail store Evenstar's Chalice with her husband, Russell Jones, a retired EMU professor, and hairstylist Jeanne Adwani, selling art, collectibles, and antiques and providing a sanctuary for gathering and rites that, she noted, has attracted a base that is queer and trans-positive. Her work is supported by her ever-growing knowledge of the human condition through studies in psychology, religion and spirituality, anthropology, integral theory, and the arts, among many other domains. Her practice is also grounded in professional, real-world experience with research and development in education, business, and technology.
