What Celebrant Training Can Teach You About Yourself

One thing I’ve noticed over the years that we’ve been training celebrants is this: the way in which a celebrant-in-training approaches their training (both the face-to-face training and the twelve weeks of independent learning and written and practical modules) tells me a lot about how their vocation/career as a celebrant will progress.   There’s a […]

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, […]
