"Your children are
the sons and the daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they
belong not to you. You can give them your love but not you thoughts, For
they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their
souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, Which you cannot visit,
not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to
make them like you. For life goes not backwards nor tarries with
yesterday." -- Kahlil Gibran |
I am honored that you are considering my services for your special celebration. I am looking forward to the work that we will do together to make your baby’s blessing a unique and special day.
My services include a meeting with the parents to discuss the ceremony, cultural traditions, and spiritual paths. I like to customize what I say as much as possible.
Please consider all of your options for your celebration. There are so many ritual elements from spiritual traditions that will make your day uniquely yours.
- Naming ceremony
- Water blessing
- Poems, Music, Blessings and Prayers
- Candle lighting
- Honoring the Ancestors
- Family and Friends blessing
Please contact me to look at any of the materials that I provide and know that nothing is set in stone. There are more possibilities for a baby blessing than I could provide on a few sheets of paper. I invite you to do your own research as well
I love being able to create and customize celebrations. They are all special, unique and fun. Blessings to your family as you prepare for your special day!
