Palm Harbor White Chapel Baptism

It is such a pleasure for me to have a role in welcoming a Child of God into our community.  What a blessing to share in the joy of not only the family and friends, but the joy of celebrating the birth of another child of God.    Brooke was welcomed and love was shared by all of her family and friends from near and far.  God Bless You forever Brooke!

The Palm Harbor White Chapel is the perfect venue for your baptism or baby naming.  It can accomodate small intimate family gatherings or larger ones.  

Reiki Infused Custom Wedding for Jaclyn and Greg

I was thrilled when I was contacted by Jaclyn who wnted to have a Reiki inspired wedding. Jaclyn is a Reiki practitioner, as I am, so it was fantastic to work with her to create this unique and beautiful ritual. The weather was not cooperative at the beginning of the ceremony, while we were staking out the four directions, and smudging the area for the couple. The clouds were dark and threatening, but Jaclyn and Greg were determined to be married at Crescent Beach in Maine. Gondiva brought the couple into the area with the blowing of the Conch shell to the four directions. Everyone donned their umbrellas, and the beautiful bride, and handsome groom arrived all smiles. After smudging the area, a group meditation and energy share took place, and an explanation of the elements was provided to the guests. As the couple exchanged the vows they had written for each other, the rain stopped, and a magnificent rainbow appeared. It was if it was on command! The rainbow yet again reminds us that even if there are storms in life, there are always rainbows that can follow. It was so beautiful and was a great backdrop for their wedding photos. After the wedding, the couple was gifted with a Conch Shell from Gondiva, and Greg was successful in being able to blow the shell after only a few attempts! Such a beautiful couple, such a unique ceremony, and I was so very honored to be asked to work with them and create the ceremony of their dreams. Congratulations Jaclyn and Greg, may you be blessed forever.

You Tied the Knot!! Congratulations Kathleen & Steve

An intimate home setting was the location for the nuptuals of Kathleen & Steve. Their lovely home was filled with flowers.

The home was completely transformed into a lovely, intimate area for the ceremony, then arranged into a beautiful reception area. I was totally impressed with the creativity of Michelle DeMicco of Custom Creations and Events, at 813.234.3755 or view her site http://www.customcreationsandevents.com/ The planning that Steve and Kathleen put into their ceremony truly showed their love for their home, their children, and each other. They had written a beautiful ceremony with me, and their daughters provided readings. Grandson Landon was the ringbearer and was he ever proud!!! The wedding was exquisite and I wish them all the best for a future full of happiness and good health!

What is an Interfaith Officiant?

I am sure you are interested in what exactly an Interfaith Officiant is. As an Interfaith Officiant I am a trained professional who has studied and been ordained through the All Faiths Seminary of New York City, one of a growing number of Interfaith Seminaries around the world. Interfaith ministers serve as guides to help people deepen and nourish their own religious roots while they are opening their hearts to the wisdom and beauty of other traditions and teachings. Regardless of my own spiritual tradition or path, I am a trained professional who is dedicated to serving the spiritual needs of ALL those who seek guidance, and assistance regardless of their race, creed, ethnic background, sexual orientation, gender or age.

I have chosen to learn about, respect, and appreciate the diversity of paths to the Divine and to look for the universal truth in each of them. I seek to promote understanding, harmony and love among all people by emphasizing what is universal in the teachings of the many spiritual paths and faith traditions.

I am committed to the ongoing deepening of my own spiritual faith practice and connection to the Divine, so that m service to others is always grounded in the integrity of my own spiritual life.

My role as an interfaith minister is to help you in creating a ceremony that is respectful of your own religious beliefs and traditions and in fulfilling your wishes for a very beautiful and meaningful ceremony.
