Christine and Rita were married this past summer in a simple but meaningful wedding ceremony.  When we first spoke, there was a desire to incorporate much of the spiritual aspects of their beliefs and values from the Vedic/Yogic traditions utilizing the learning's from their teacher's lineage. 

As we carefully co-created their ceremony, we explored many possibilities.  Christine and Rita chose to incorporate a mudra practice, taken from their teacher's lineage.  The practice is a conscious process and series of positions and gestures, with meditation, that honor one's light and joins body, mind and soul in union.  This was a sacred and lovely ritual that prepared for the exchange of vows.

I am always amazed at how creative and beautiful wedding ceremonies can be when conscious intention and the fun of allowing yourself to be creative is brought to the design.  With each ceremony designed and officiated, my heart opens a bit more and the depth of my understanding grows.

I thank all of the people who have allowed me to work with them, it is a true blessing! Enjoy this lovely weekend!
