Healing & Other Ceremonies

Kate's special insight and presence shines through in the ceremonies she offers. She has great skill and sensitivity in invoking the sacred and works consciously and creatively with both individuals
and groups.

She is committed to working in ways which reflect and support the uniqueness of our individual experience of the Divine.

A ceremony can be a potent and precious means of honouring a life transition or a time of vulnerability in our lives. Such ritual, when created uniquely to reflect our beliefs and our situation, helps us to understand and share what is most meaningful to us at that time.

Sometimes we gather to seek healing and support in the presence of witnesses – a service of blessing. Sometimes we are celebrating joyfully in the company of loved ones. At other times, we honour the ending of a relationship or the potential of new circumstances or journeys.

There are many occasions in which a ceremony may be helpful, especially:

• for those who are sick or suffering – a service to seek healing and support
• the blessing and thanksgiving for an adopted child
• on separation or divorce – to honour the relationship and the sadness of its ending/changing. This can be particularly helpful for a couple who have children, as their relationship will continue, but in a new form.
• the blessing of a new home or work place – a wonderful way to celebrate this new beginning, and share the occasion with friends or colleagues
• the celebration and blessing of a young person reaching 18 (or 21)
• the celebration of a long life on a special birthday – an opportunity to show our true appreciation of an elderly loved one.
• a ceremony to bless a new undertaking or journey
• … and you will think of others

As with all the ceremonies I create and facilitate, I will seek to reflect your beliefs and preferences in words, music and appropriate ritual, so that the occasion is truly meaningful and relevant for you and all who attend.
