Deep listening
I'll ask about your story, your families, your beliefs and your worries, then design a ceremony that takes all of it into account.
I grew up Catholic, the treasured tradition of my father. In my twenties I became an Episcopalian, and I spent many years in the Episcopal and Unity communities. Later I converted to Judaism, the rich tradition of my mother and her ancestors, among them a great-great-grandfather who was a rabbi.
For a long stretch of that journey, I had far more questions than answers. I've never forgotten what that feels like. It's why nothing you tell me about your beliefs, or your doubts, will be judged here.
I find joy, extraordinary wisdom and deep beauty in almost every wisdom tradition. So when a couple tells me they come from two different worlds, I understand. I also know how beautiful those worlds can be together.
Beneath the diversity of beliefs and observances lies a deeper unity of experience that is our shared spiritual heritage.
