Sacred Celebrations and Rituals
There is great power in the ancient traditions of ritual and ceremony to mark significant occasions in life - marriage, handfasting, vow renewal, child naming or other important milestones such as moving house, a new job, a new business, a new piece of land or a new country of residence.
Planning a sacred ceremony or celebration?
Over many years as a shamanic practitioner I have gained great appreciation of the power of ceremony and ritual. It is important that we acknowledge, celebrate and honour significant events in our lives, witnessed by friends and family.
Whatever occasion of celebration you wish to commemorate in a sacred way, I can work with you to create the ideal ritual of your choice, be that out in the beauty of the elements, in a forest, on a beach, or in the sanctity of a sacred building or sacred site, as you wish for your special occasion.
Within any ceremony led by a celebrant, there are many choices for honouring the life event through words, songs, poetry, music, or any other traditions handed down through your family, culture or lineage that you would like to incorporate. In particular I can add shamanic elements such as opening the six directions, earth offerings and fire offerings.
Using a celebrant for your marriage or handfasting is always about you being able to choose without the imposition of any fixed religious belief system, whilst permitting any Spiritual practices you have in your life to be incorporated. Together we can harmonise all of the elements and ideas that you would like into a day of your dreams, setting the ground-work to co-create your future path and potential.
I am willing to work as a celebrant throughout the UK but my home area is Rottingdean, Brighton, Sussex. Prices depend on the complexity and location of the ceremony that you would like, but an indication is given within the more detailed pages for each type of celebration. The weddings page includes Celtic options such as the loving cup and jumping the broom, as well as shamanic options such as earth offerings and fire ceremonies, but I also have a separate page for handfasting and vow renewals, both of which can include any of the marriage elements.
I offer a free initial online consultation (30 minutes) to discuss your requirements and create the vision for your ideal ceremony. To book this please call me on 07813180446 or email me at info@sacredceremonies.uk. Alternatively you can visit me for a personal appointment in Rottingdean, Brighton, Sussex.
