13. WE DON'T WANT TO MENTION GOD, BUT CAN WE HAVE SOMETHING SPIRITUAL?
Absolutely! Spiritual and Earth based ceremonies feel like my specialism.
You don't need to invoke God... you might call upon the elements... or the directions... the sun and the moon... the Goddess... Great Spirit... the mountains, sea and stars... the ancestors... the guides and guardians...the Presence of Love...

12. CAN WE READ POEMS TO ONE ANOTHER?
Of course! That would be beautiful! If poetry is how you express your love for one another, please include your favourite poems. I've had couples read poems, adapt poems, write their own poems and prayers, read song lyrics to one another and listen or dance to meaningful music or music with heartfelt lyrics...

FROM DARK TO LIGHT
For a long time, I wanted a definite truth. Without it, I felt anxious, unsettled in both mind and heart. I searched, questioned, explored, and hoped that one day I would arrive at a final answer, a place of certainty where all my questions would be resolved...

TWIA UK Wedding Celebrant of the Year
I felt like I'd been transported to an alternate reality. From the wilds of Skye, barefoot in nature, holding intimate elopement ceremonies, to all the glitz & glamour of the #TWIA UK Awards! There were stilt walkers with wings, indoor fireworks, magicians, a red carpet, an illustrator, a casino & the most fabulous array of glittering outfits! It was magical & a LOT! Mostly I just wandered around in awe 😆 photo credits @mattrockprophoto and @colinlaveryphoto As the award

I Taught the #Effortless500
If you are part of the #EffortlessTribe you’ll know I’ve been on a mission for the last wee while to teach Effortless Meditation. I received a message years ago to teach 500 people and this week, I did! It took me twelve years! Some years I taught lots of people (like when we traveled around the UK in our bus) and others (like in covid) just a few people online. I ran a giveaway for my 500th place and Brooke from Illinois won. It’s been an honour to teach every single pe

Womancraft Publishing's Newest Author
Today I was announced as Womancraft Publishing's newest author!!! Can you hear my happy squeals? Being a writer has been a long-held dream, probably the longest held, if I'm honest. I've been writing several books for years. This particular book came to me at the time of ordination; literally landed with me half-formed in meditation one day. I knew the sections, some of the chapter titles and I knew I would approach Womancraft to publish. Like many things in my life, it

WHERE ON THE ISLE OF SKYE CAN WE GET MARRIED?
Anywhere you want... within reason! Unlike in England and Wales, in Scotland it's not necessary to be married in a registered venue. I've seen ceremonies on boats, in the sea, up mountains, on the beach, on the cliffs... There are a few rules... you can't get married on the move... on a boat for example; and you have to get married where you said on your paperwork, unless the weather's truly terrible and you need to change it (always good to let the registrar know of any back
