Meet our Founder! The Lovesmith-Rev. Dr. Samora Smith -Our Founder

Allow me to Introduce myself. I am Rev. Dr. Samora, founder of Common Ground Ceremonies & Lovesmith, Inc. My award-winning officiant business in NYC was created 14 years ago to offer beautiful ceremonies to diverse, interfaith, and non-religious couples and families for all occasions. Marriage Equality was also recognized in New York on the same day I performed my first “for hire” wedding. To me, this was a sign that I was on the right path—-to support everyone’s right to love regardless of gender, faith, background, etc.

I am also a healing arts specialist, combining my gifts as a sound & vibrational healer, musical artist, spiritual coach, and certified hypnotherapist to support individuals, couples, and families in aligning themselves through the mastery of self-love and attunement. My diverse indigenous background and passion for healing inspires my path to guide people back to earth-based practices and unplugging from the noise for self-healing. (To learn more about these services, please visit me at The Lovesmith.com)

Embracing Winter ❄️❄️

"At first, we are children of the darkness. Your body and your face were formed first in the kind darkness of your mother's womb. You lived the first nine months in there. Your birth was the first journey from darkness into light. All your life, your mind lives within the darkness of your body. Every thought you have is a flint moment, a spark of light from your inner darkness. The miracle of thought is its presence in the night side of your soul; the brilliance of thought is born of darkness. Each day is a journey. We come out of the night into the day. All creativity awakens at this primal threshold where light and darkness test and bless each other. You only discover the balance in your life when you learn to trust the flow of this ancient rhythm."

The Brilliant Poet John O’Donohue

My heart is so full!! As I sit here reflecting and looking out on the vast landscape of Lake Michigan, I speak life and love into all beings. We are supposed to love and care for one another. Not cause harm. I heard someone say today “Our Greatest weapon is Love”. I am prepared for battle.
