Is This You?

You are about to get married but having a church wedding feels hypocritical and the basic civil ceremony just isn’t enough. With so much to organise, you don’t want the ceremony itself to be just an after-thought.  You want to begin your married life in a way that reflects your love, your values and your lifestyle.  You know you want something more than the standard approach but aren’t sure where to begin.

Someone you love very much has died and you can’t bear the thought of going through one of those all too familiar ‘conveyor belt’ funerals. You’re not sure how to make the right choices at such an emotional time.  But you do know that you want to say goodbye in a way that is right for your loved one and your family.  You long for someone to help you think things through and support you to create a funeral that truly reflects your loved one’s life and beliefs and all they meant to you.

You know you’re seeking something more from life but you haven’t quite found what you are looking for in traditional religious settings. You’d like a deeper sense of inner peace but you don’t want to be told what to believe. Nor do you want to be preached at, converted or saved.  You want somewhere you can discover what’s true for you, in your own way, with someone who will guide rather than direct.

A new child has joined your family and you don’t want to let this miraculous event go unmarked. Not being church-goers, a traditional christening doesn’t feel right.  You are also unwilling to make promises you don’t believe in.  You want everyone who has a special place in the life of your child to take part but aren’t sure how to support everyone to express their love and commitment in ways that are right for them.

Despite many years of conscious personal and spiritual growth, you find those same old behaviour patterns keep coming up time and time again. After all the work you have done on yourself, that horribly familiar reaction rears its ugly head once again.  You’re tired of falling into the same old traps.  You want know why this happens and what you can do about it that will finally make a lasting difference.

My approach could work for you if:

• You are about to get married
• You have just had a baby
• You have adopted a child or young adult
• You and your partner come from a mixed religious background
• You want to renew your marriage vows
• You are about to enter a civil partnership
• You have recently lost a loved one
• You have a terminal diagnosis
• You are the parent of a child with a terminal illness
• You are planning your own funeral
• You are the survivor of a traumatic life event
• You are in mid-life

My approach will work if these things are important to you:

You appreciate the wonder, preciousness and miracle of life. So when you face life’s important moments you want to mark them in a way that has meaning, depth and heart.

You believe in something beyond this life though it’s often hard to say exactly what that is. Whatever name you use and however you see God, you know that human beings are also spiritual beings.

You are an independent thinker who often questions many traditional assumptions. You want to make up your own mind about what to believe and how to live your life.

You have a strong sense that there must be more to life than this and you are committed to finding out what that is.

You want to make a real contribution. You’re discovering the difference between image and reality, between knowledge and wisdom and want this to be the basis for finding your own path with heart.

You want to grow both personally and spiritually and are willing to invest time and money to discover the teachings, inspiration and methods that are right for you.
