Wedding and Ceremonies

Rev. Christina absolutely loves officiating at weddings. Her style creates a relaxing atmosphere which allows the wedding party to fully experience the beauty and magic of the joining of lives and hearts. Her weddings are truly weddings from the heart. Rev. Christina enjoys working with gay and straight couples who wish to unite in marriage. Couples have commented on her weddings by saying:

"Christina, it was such a beautiful ceremony. Thank you for being so flexible and fun."

"Rev. Christina, thank you for your wonderful clarity, full expression of love, life, sweetness and beauty of Spirit."

"Thank you, Rev. Christina, for being such a shining light during our wedding ceremony!"

If you would like a Spirit-based ceremony filled with grace, love, and joy, please contact Rev. Christina to arrange an appointment.

Your Wedding Ceremony

Your wedding ceremony is a special occasion in your lifetime. It is a time to celebrate and affirm your love and commitment to one another. Whatever your spiritual tradition and beliefs, Rev. Christina works closely with you to ensure that your wedding ceremony is a unique reflection of your love, commitment and union. Her desire is to co-create a personal and customized wedding service that honours your individuality and love. Some couples like to create some of the content of the service, such as vows, readings, and rituals. Others ask Rev. Christina to draw on her experience and her love of Universal Truths and create the entire ceremony.

Wedding Planning

In the planning meeting, you discuss your vision for your wedding ceremony and you get to know each other. At this time, you review the ceremony elements including your vows, music selections and family involvement in the ceremony. Many couples choose to use the Unity candle-lighting ceremony which is a moving visual tribute to your love and its basis in Spirit.

Rev. Christina is also available for additional wedding consultations, spiritual counselling, prayer sessions, and pre-marriage counselling services.

 

Celebrations of Life

Memorials, Celebrations of Life, Funerals and Scattering of Ashes Services

Rev. Christina is honoured to support families as they celebrate the life of their loved one. We know that Love Never Dies. Rev. Christina's leadership ensures that you have the opportunity to participate in a meaningful ceremony when someone you love dies. Meaningful end-of-life ceremonies can be a vital element as we begin to heal from our loss.

Rev. Christina's role is to help your family plan for a personalized memorial, celebration of life and funeral services. She serves as facilitator, sensitive interviewer, creative writer, loving spiritual presence, professional public speaker and a ceremonial leader in her role as the officiant of the service.

Friends and family often wish to participate in the planning and presentation of a personalized end of life ceremony, but are uncertain how to do so. They may be uncomfortable with public speaking and/or speaking publicly about death and loss. An increasing number of Canadians say they are non-religious and may define their spirituality in different ways. A funeral, memorial or celebration of life service that reflects an individual's lifestyle and personality, often mirrors their spiritual nature.

Rev. Christina is an excellent choice for those who want to honour the life of a loved one through participatory end-of-life ritual and ceremony. A typical comment after Rev. Christina's celebration of life service is, "It was very meaningful, spiritual, filled with love and just what our loved one would have wanted. I feel so much better!"

 

Christenings

Christenings, Baptisms and Naming Ceremony Services

Rev. Christina's christening ceremonies are filled with meaning, tenderness, creativity and spiritual love. Here is a sample of the beautiful messages that are shared as the little one is named and blessed:

Message to the Parents - You have brought this little beloved Child of Spirit, remembering that before she was yours she was an idea in Divine Mind, waiting to choose the form that she would manifest. Always surround your child with loving thoughts and feelings for she will respond to your love. Just as she comes to know you as her loving human mother and father so she will one day come to know her inner Spirit - the true Source of all life and Love. Dream beautiful dreams for your child, not specific dreams as to what she will be or do, but see this child's infinite potential. Always love her for who she is, having value in her own right, and let her come forth in the way her soul chooses to express.

The Naming Ceremony - Today we speak the child's name and link it with the name of Spirit. In this name are all the spiritual gifts which you, as parents, attach to it. It is a name you will use countless times as your little one grows. Use it lovingly. It becomes an inseparable part of this child's life from this time onward. The child sees herself in her name.

The Christening/Baptism Ceremony - Today we christen her with holy water and rose petals. The rose petals that we use are a symbol of unfolding life, which flourishes from the earth, air, sun and water. And so will she flourish as she abides in a home that knows the power of Love. As these roses unfold, they require proper care to sustain their evolving expression. She will also need guidance to weed out the undesirable and promote a greater degree of spiritual identity. As these roses stretch toward the sun, their soft blessings unfold and multiply as this child will unfold in her spiritual awareness and talents. This is such a beautiful blessing and for this we do give thanks.
