Heartfelt celebrations in exceptionally loving spaces
More to come on this – in the future you will be able to find me at various festivals.
If you are interested, please fill in the contact form to let me know and I will add you to a mailing list and let you know when and where I will be.
Then come and find me at the festival - in the healing field or similar.
Book into a slot if it’s busy or if I’m free we can do the ceremony there and then!
Alternatively, if you are holding your own festival-style party or you would simply like a handfasting in your own garden, then get in touch and I will happily come along and conduct your ceremony for you.
A festival is the perfect place to relax, unwind and have fun with your favourite party friends. While you’re there, why not make a declaration of love to your partner. Or celebrate those pals in a joint pledge of enduring friendship and support.
❋ Handfasting ceremonies
A handfasting is not legally binding but rather a symbolic binding together of a couple in love, united by the tying of the knot.
Rooted in Celtic tradition, there are many modernisations of a handfasting ritual but they are all based on what the couple feel in their hearts and their intention to make real their declarations and pledges of love.
Historically, a handfasting bound a couple for a year and a day but you have the freedom to make a spiritual pledge of commitment for a lifetime, for all eternity or for as long as love shall last.
❋ Energy in connection
At a festival there is not much time to get to know you but I will ask you enough questions to enable me to incorporate your love story into a meaningful, spiritual ceremony and truly empathise with your reasons for wanting to acknowledge and declare your commitment in this way.
I will also hold space for you to communicate your promises to each other and to enjoy the powerful sense of deep connection between you both and also with any special friends or family that you have chosen to accompany you.
❋ Friendship ceremonies
Bring your best friends, celebrate the strength of your connection and make sincere promises to nurture your bond as the friendship evolves. You could include friendship rituals like a sand blending ceremony or the exchange of tokens to signify the value of your relationship. Children might want to make a ‘pinkie promise’ to reaffirm their commitment to stay friends and support each other as they grow.
As well as being good for mental health, friendship ceremonies show care and respect for one another. They acknowledge the highs and the sighs of life where you have enjoyed the good times in each other’s company and been there for one another at tougher moments.
There is research to suggest that a relationship lasting seven years is likely to last a lifetime – so whether you are aiming for this or well past that point, it is worthy of a celebration.
❋ Ritual goodies
If you already have a wedding planned, then take the opportunity to browse for the perfect accessories – handfasting cords, candles, ring cushions and other ritual supplies.
