Ceremonies of Love
Commitments, Welcomes & Farewells
Doctrine & Values: My flavor of Spiritual Humanism believes that while there is no single supernatural being controlling our destinies, our spirit or “soul” is just a power of our universe we humans can use for growth, healing and change of ourselves and our communities around us. My philosophy focuses on reflecting on your spirit within, healing it’s wounds, and it’s potential for personal and collective growth through both humanistic values and spiritual exploration.
My ceremonies focus on the spirit’s power to do good in our world, joining with others to become a positive force in our communities, and the spiritual legacies one has gifted us to share with others when we say goodbye.
As an ordained minister, it is my mission to treat everyone with compassion and equality, no matter what your story is. Love is universal, and whether the occasion is two people joining their souls together, welcoming a new soul into the world, or saying farewell to a loved one, I’m happy to provide ceremonies tailored and perfectly personalized to your wishes. While I specialize in Spiritual Humanism philosophies, I am familiar with other spiritual concepts and welcome requests for secular, pagan, and agnostic programs, rituals, passages or performance.
I am double-ordained through the Universal Life Church and American Marriage Ministries. My credentials are available for review upon request.
Commitments
When it comes to weddings and commitments, I am your guide. I can assist you with every step of the process and advise you in your journey to the ceremony. Your special day can range from a simple 5 minute rite to an involved lavish celebration of two spirits joining in strength and power.
Welcomes
If you’re welcoming a little one into the world, baptisms are a common ceremonial tradition in Christian families. I can offer alternative ceremonies to welcome your little one and bless your family, no matter your faith. Celebrating what a new spirit will bring to the world can fill the need for a loving, joyus event for the whole family.
Farewells
There comes a time in every person’s life when it’s time to say goodbye. I specialize in non-denominational spiritual or non-spiritual ceremonies to send loved ones off on their continued journey with love, respect and dignity. Farewell ceremonies can be customized to anyone’s final wishes. A Spiritual Humanist ceremony focuses on whatever positive legacy one has left as a gift for us to share with others.
