Celebrant Self-Care During Autumn and Winter

By Veronika Sophia Robinson Day by day, here in the Northern Hemisphere, that dip into the darker months makes itself more known. As an Australian born and raised in a delicious climate, I feel the descent into Winter quite strongly. I love light, and I adore hot sunshine on my skin. Winter takes them both […]

Thanking Our Way Through a Script

A Heart-led Celebrant with a high Emotional Quotient will naturally (or through learning) think and feel their way through a ceremonial script. Because our work is so far removed from ‘reading’ the words on a page or living in an egoic-driven performance mode, the way we embody the ensouling style of our work lends itself […]

The Invisible Work of a Heart-led Celebrant

There are many reasons why someone might choose to train as a Heart-led Celebrant: for example, quality and depth of teaching, location, rigorous and robust certification standards, cost, one-to-one training. Regardless of these, it is hoped that after training they actively engage in CPD (whether with us or elsewhere). The most important part, I believe, […]

Discrimination-free Celebrant Training

  An essential part of training with Heart-led Celebrants is having an openness and open heart towards all human beings, and practising non-duality.

Some of the publications are also available to celebrants who’ve not trained with us. Here are some examples. These are all available at www.veronikarobinson.com; online retailers, good bookshops and libraries.      

What Type Of Celebrant Trainer Am I?

When you’re researching different training organisations and courses, you’ll quickly see the focus is on what you’ll learn during your time, and rightly so. Have you also considered the flipside? That is, what type of trainer/s are involved? Do those people’s skills, qualities, experience and world view match the intention for the training? These are […]

Do you have to train to be a celebrant?

Do you have to train to be a celebrant? This is probably one of the first questions someone asks when they’re playing with the idea of a career in celebrancy. The short answer is: in the UK, no. Celebrancy, like the wedding and funeral industries, is (at the time of writing: May 2023) an unregulated […]
