Welcome

"Since the beginning of time, people have carried out ceremonies to facilitate cures, to recognize sacred unions, to encourage fertility, and to honor the dead.  Indeed, celebrations are important tools for reinforcing relationships between individuals and clans.  Following in the footsteps of our tribal ancestors, the intentional gathering is perhaps the answer to the fundamental ailment of modern society—a lack of ceremony. 
 
As a wedding officiant and celebrant, I work with couples, families, and/or friends to create personalized ceremonies that bring people together in a spirit of love and gratitude.  The sacred celebration, this is what we live for,  why we wake up in the morning—  that love might develop, that babies might be born, that life might be revered, that we might give our attention to and engage with  the emotions, the essence of life."
