Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
An essential part of the life of a Heart-led Celebrant is investing time in Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Continuous learning ensures we remain deeply attuned to our clients, our craft, and our businesses.
Who Are These Sessions For?
Our monthly group CPD sessions are exclusively reserved for our certified Heart-led Celebrants and celebrants-in-training. They are designed to nurture our unique community, allowing us to share space, collaborate, and grow together.
Note: If you are an external professional celebrant looking for independent training, please browse our widely open Celebrant Mentoring and Masterclasses page.
How to Join
We host our group CPD online in our Heart-led Zoom Room on the second Monday of each month from 5pm to 7pm.
  • The active Zoom Room link is always available under the ‘Files’ tab in our closed, private Facebook group.
