Hazel Stewart

Hi – I’m Hazel, and I’m a Heart-led Celebrant based in Cumbria near Wigton; happy to work across Cumbria – and further if required! (I have family and friends in the South of England and in central Scotland who have enlisted my services for ceremonies wider afield).

I chose Celandine Journeys for the name of my celebrant practice as, in the language of flowers, celandines mean ‘joys to come’, a romantic significance that held the right resonance for this strand of my creative practice.

Writing is magical, with huge potential for healing and metamorphosis, and I aim to bring that essence to the craft of creating ceremonies and rituals. My intention is always to imbue all I do with beauty,  wisdom and significance, tailored to the individual needs of the people I am working with. It is such an immense privilege to be the conduit for manifesting the vision of others for their special ceremony.

As well as being the Celandine Celebrant, I have had a glorious portfolio CV covering a diversity of varied roles, equipping me with a unique skillset that I can draw on for my celebrant craft. I am a poet, writer, facilitator and practitioner of word medicine; currently health coaching with the NHS Physical Health Rehabilitation Psychology Service. I am accredited with Balanced Minds to deliver their eight week Compassionate Mind Training course, and I am a Follower of the Mist-Filled Path, walking the Wheel of the Year in the tradition of Celtic mysticism. I have also completed weekend workshops in Narrative Approaches to Healing with Dr Lewis Mehl-Madrona and Barbara Mainguy from Maine, USA.

Each person who finds me requires a different blend of my eclectic experience, skills and personality for me to craft the ceremony that is uniquely theirs.
