Honouring…Celebrating…Awakening

Reconnecting with the Sacred in Your Life

You know there’s more to life than our usual experience. Moments when you’ve glimpsed something eternal in the present.  The time when you really saw that breathtaking sunset, when you held your new-born child for the first time, or when you sat beside a loved one as they passed from this life. Moments when you felt most alive and connected.

You have a belief in some kind of Universal Power or Divine Presence.  You sense that there’s definitely something ‘beyond’ ourselves but your beliefs are more spiritual than religious.

Although you have been a ‘seeker’ for some time, traditional religious approaches do not speak to you or you find yourself increasingly moving toward the edge of your faith community.

Sacred Ceremonies for your Sacred Life

You’re now facing one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ events such as a birth, a marriage or the death of a loved one.  You don’t want just to let it pass you by and the conventional approach is not enough.  You want to mark this important occasion in a sacred way but traditional religious language and ritual don’t feel authentic for you.  It’s important that the ceremony is deeply meaningful reflecting your values, beliefs and lifestyle.

Sacred Space to explore life’s big questions

You realise that simply being alive is pretty miraculous.  You don’t want to waste the time you have and the gifts you’ve been given.   You’re now at a stage in life when you want to understand yourself more deeply and find out how to create a more conscious life that really makes a difference. You are interested in how  spiritual wisdom might help  but you don’t want to be told what to believe.

I developed Sacred Life especially for people like you who aren’t religious in the traditional sense but want to live a conscious, spiritual life and to mark our most significant moments with depth, connection and heart.

Practical Spirituality for people of all faiths and none

As an ordained Interfaith Minister and Spiritual Counsellor, I create and lead ceremonies that speak to our deepest truth for those whose beliefs do not fit neatly into any one religion.  I also offer sacred space to reflect on your life, supported by deep insights from modern psychology blended with spiritual practices from many of the world’s great faith traditions.

The experience of the holy, by definition, is about a sense of communion, of coming together, of integration, of participation, of making the pieces of our lives into one.

- Rev. Prof Stephen Wright

The glory of God is a person fully alive.

- Irenaeus (130-202 AD)

Spirituality is the process of living out a set of deeply held personal values, of honouring forces or a presence greater than ourselves. It expresses our desire to find meaning in, and to trust as an offering, what we do.

- Peter Block

Each thought, each action, in the sunlight of awareness, becomes sacred.

- Thich Nhat Hanh

Spirit is always present, just as the sun is always shining above the clouds.

- Dan Millman
