Ceremonies and Rituals

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
You may be interested in my ceremonies and rituals if:
  • ​​You are a LGBTQIA+ or heterosexual couple looking for a spiritual-not-religious or interfaith wedding officiant
  • You have lost a loved one and are looking for a spiritual-not-religious or interfaith funeral conductor
  • You are part of a group that is looking for spiritual guidance that can incorporate many faiths or no faith (spiritual not religious)
  • You are pregnant or a new parent and would like to engage in meaningful ritual that supports your family's transition

Picture
​Conducting and participating in ceremony and ritual is one of the deepest honors and joys for me as a spiritual counselor. I specialize in creating ceremonies and rituals that honor spirit and heart in a way that speaks specifically to you. Each ceremony is created completely from scratch, as I provide you with guidance and a wide range of resources on rituals from resonant traditions and build your vision together. ​It is a precious journey to form relationships with families and individuals as we create a ceremony or ritual that honors your spirit, shares your deepest expressions of love, and displays the messages of release, blessing, completion, and opening that leave you and your community feeling deeply touched and fulfilled. Intentional words and simple actions create a sacredness that I believe we all desire as we move through the most significant passages of our lives.

"There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you?" -Rumi
