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.
