Baby Naming.

Once you have registered the birth of your newborn baby and if you prefer not to have a traditional religious christening, there is an alternative. A baby naming ceremony can be a lovely way to celebrate the new arrival.

Family, friends, godparents (or supporting adults) can

be involved in any way you wish with readings, special wishes/blessings for the baby. The occasion can include religious, spiritual and/or symbolic elements.

I will meet with the family to go through the ceremony and discuss what is to be included, before the actual event.

Adoption/Family Blending

If you have adopted a child, imagine how excited & loved that child will feel when you have a special celebration to mark the event, welcoming him or her into your family. It can also be a fun & light hearted occasion, wholly focused on your special child.

Perhaps you have entered a new marriage or partnership, and one or both of you have children from a previous relationship. A ceremony involving the couple and all the children will help to consolidate the new family unit.

For either of the above I will, of course, meet with the family first to discuss all your requirements for readings, pledges etc,.

Divorce/Break up Healing.

If you have split up amicably, a healing ceremony can really help both of you to put a final end to your relationship in a caring and forgiving way. Wishing each other well - perhaps incorporating some symbolic tie-cutting - and allowing both of you to move forward into a new life with no regrets.

If the split is acrimonious then one half of the couple may find it helpful to have a closure ceremony - again perhaps involving symbols. This can take place on your own with the celebrant, or surrounded by those closest to you.
