a great big hello and welcome
A naming ceremony is a wonderful way to welcome your little one into the world. To formally give them their name and for family and friends to pledge a commitment to support your child and at the same time to reaffirm their love and support for you as parents.
It may also be a time to welcome them into your religious or spiritual tradition, to bless and protect them until such time as they can freely choose their own path. Alternative ceremonies I can help you create if a Church Christening is not your tradition are Naming, Blessing, Saining, Paganing, Wiccaning or Vatni Ausa / Nafnfesti (Norse). I will happily explain these terms to you.
Whatever your outlook I will work with you to create a uniquely beautiful, joyful and meaningful ceremony that reflects your beliefs, spirituality or philosophy on life as well as your hopes and aspirations for your child.
I understand too that sometimes parents are of different faiths or beliefs, for example maybe one is Pagan one is Christian or one Spiritual the other Atheist. I understand this has the potential to cause tension amongst couples and their families. I undertook a years experiential style training in Interfaith, exploring the traditional world religions as well as earth based and modern spiritualities. I am also involved in local Interfaith activities in my community. Therefore I can work with you and your family to create a ceremony that is representative of what is is important to you and work to ensure no one feels excluded.
We can hold the ceremony anywhere from your back garden to village hall, or outside in nature or at a sacred site.
