Hi folks, on July 24th 2021 I was ordained as Rev. Martin Purcell. For the past two years I have been training with The One Spirit Interfaith Foundation. The training introduced me to many different religions and many different faith paths as well as training us as spiritual counselors. It has been an amazing journey with some amazing people and fantastic tutors. The two year preparation for ordination has taught me to look through a different lens. It has taught me to see people for who they are and not judge. It has taught me to listen and to hear what people want to say and to accept their views. most of all it has taught me to be a better person. Part of our training was to create ceremonies. Weddings, Vow renewals, baby naming, Rites of passage, Funerals and spiritual blessings. The other main focus on the training was Spiritual Counselling. This was a very important part of the course as it taught us how to hold someone who needs to be heard and to be someone who they can feel free and comfortable with without judgement. It is a massive part in the healing process.
If you are interested in speaking about any of the above mentioned ceremonies or counselling I am available on e-mail or phone and of course here.
Looking forward to the new adventures ahead.
Martin
