Life is full of opportunities

to celebrate or honor the sacred and meaningful events on our paths. Turn your important transitions into holy and blessed rites of passage with a loving, soul-centered, spiritual yet non-religious, non-denominational sacred ceremony.

- Adoption and step-family union commitment ceremonies
- Divorce/New life ceremonies
- Milestone event and birthday ceremonies: coming of age, 21, 30, 40, 50, etc.
- New home/apartment blessings, send-offs, love circles,new beginning ceremonies
- Releasing, forgiveness, closure ceremonies
- Death/endings, loss, funeral, memorials
- Weddings, births, vow renewals, sacred commitments, same-sex unions and more

Meaningful. "I knew before I even asked her that Lisa would be the perfect person to lead my wedding ceremony. Throughout the entire ceremony Lisa was calm, cool, collected and present. She was the hand I was holding to keep my knees from giving out (even if only spiritually). I think my most favorite part of the ceremony was where something in the wording inspired a short rap sequence that had the whole audience giggling. It created a lightheartedness around something so ‘serious’. My only hope is that when I renew my vows in 25 years, Lisa will be able to host that ceremony too. I feel blessed to have had her at my wedding." - Megan Monique Lewis
