Services

I have been facilitating public rituals for over a decade and worked with interfaith colleagues to create an amazing spiritual ceremony after September 11th. When this community needs to express grief or rage or fear--or joy or triumph or bliss--we have called together community resources to honor that expression.  Recently, we commemorated the strength and resilience of the people of Haiti and led a ceremony of mourning for the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

I am one of the founders of the Coalition of Earth Religions for Education and Support/CERES http://www.ceres-wnc.org   and serve the Mother Grove Goddess Temple as priestess and teacher  http://www.mothergroveavl.org

Personal rituals and ceremonies include--

Rites of Passage--Saining, First Blood, Handfasting/Wedding, Queening, Croning, Final Rites/Funerals

Saining--a baby blessings that is Earth-focused

First Blood--a celebration of a girl's coming-of-age

Handfasting/Wedding--as ordained Wiccan clergy, I can do a legal wedding, a commitment or re-commitment ceremony or a handfasting, depending on your needs

Queening--as women send their children off to their lives as adults, they often choose to honor that transition with a ceremony of attained empowerment

Croning--achieving the status of Elder is a wonderful accomplishment: why not create a ceremony and celebration to honor it?

Final Rites/Funerals--from planning to creation of your event, let us help you honor life's final passage in a way that is respectful and personal

House Blessing
