Namings and Other Special Occasions
Naming Ceremony Celebrant Services
The loving acknowledgment and celebration of name giving through ceremony.
I offer personalised and inclusive naming ceremonies celebrating new life. A naming ceremony isn't exclusive to children, children of any age can experience the ritual of being named. Equally, adults who may have changed their first name or surname post-divorce, gender transition or for any other personal or spiritual reason may wish to celebrate this.
Other lovely examples are the celebration of adopted children joining a family or the marker of shared children being embraced in a blended family. It’s a special occasion, and some may say, a rite of passage.
The meaning of a name will be at the heart of the naming ceremony design. Focusing the time to recognise someones place in the world. Their individual name, personality and identity, whilst also honouring the love, values, hopes and dreams of the family.
Other Ceremonies
As a heart-led Celebrant I offer a whole host of ceremonies to mark significant life events. I can create menarche, menopause/sagesse and blessingway celebrations. In addition, parting of the ways (for separation/divorce), miscarriage memorials and conscious conception, house blessing and new business are all worthy of attention via dedicated ceremony and ritual.
From intimate circles and small family gatherings to wider events including friends and community plus large celebrations and corporate ceremonial events.
I relish the opportunity to conduct ceremonies in a wide variety of locations. Whether you choose your back garden, the local village hall, a hotel function room, the woods, the beach, a board room or a field, I’ll happily be there! Marking significant moments in time with ceremony and heart-led magic.
“The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.”
