    The couple will have a bottle of their favourite wine and will store it in a box that is sealed -it will be kept and opened on a special occasion eg the birth of a child -or a special wedding anniversary. A keep sake that can bring back memories of a very special day,,,especially if you like a glass of wine!!

  • Unity Candles

  • Ring Warming Ritual

    The Rings that are to used in the ceremony are passed around the bridal party or family to hold for just a moment- warming and adding love and strength to the rings just before the rings are exchanged between the happy couple.

A short service at the graveside or if required attendance at the crematorium.

Making it about our loved ones.

There are so many ways in which family can honour and acknowledge the life of our loved ones. John can help with ideas on readings-poems -the order of the service and incorporate the true beliefs and loves of those departed.

Naming Ceremonies
 A naming ceremony within the Spiritual Community is a similar to a christening. However it is just not for children, as adults have this type of service. It is to welcome and include the child or person into being a part of the family circle. Letting all know the name that has been chosen for the child.
It can have a spiritual theme or a non-religious theme.
The Ribbon Ceremony were colours that represent your hopes for your child's future – blue for wisdom and tranquillity, red for love, and green for growth. As family members help bind the ribbons, they weave together their promises of support and love.
Gathering Family and Friends together to welcome and acknowledge their place with that family circle is recognition that they will always be a part of and have the  support of those who know them.
In a world were difficulties arise  having family and friends is  a support and help in getting through those times. In a gathering of love to name and acknowledge the person can be so magical and beautiful in itself.
There are many variations in the way the ceremony can be conducted and having family members to contribute and be a part of the day . John has been a part of many naming ceremonies and will guide you through the many options that can be used.

John's Events

  • Numerology (Artitmancy) One day Workshop

    Saturday 24th May 10.30am to 4.30pm... Cost is £45 Arithmancy is a form of divination and prophecy that uses numbers to predict the future. It's a branch of magic that assigns values to letters in names or phrases and uses these values to gain insight into events, trends, or even a person's future. Numerology, often referred to as arithmancy in historical contexts, is a belief system that posits a mystical relationship between numbers and various life events. This practice involves the assignment of numerical values to letters, words, and names, thereby deriving insights into personality traits and life paths. The term "arithmancy" originates from Greek roots meaning "number" and "divination," emphasizing its historical significance in interpreting numerical meanings. The evolution of these concepts has led to a broader understanding of how numbers can influence human behavior and decision-making.
