The main emphasis of my personal spirituality is a sense of inner peace and stillness, living in a calm, peaceful yet joyful way.
In addition to being a One Spirit Minister and spiritual counsellor I have taught yoga for 30 years; I am a mindfulness teacher and trained in mindfulness coaching and enquiry. I am also trained in Spiritual and Palliative Care.
I developed an interest in faith traditions in my twenties, travels in Asia increased my understanding and this knowledge deepened substantially during my 2-year Seminary training. All these experiences developed in me a personal spiritual inquiry which is ongoing.
Ceremonies
Orkney is a magical place and a perfect location for a wedding, perhaps amongst the standing stones or with the backdrop of the stunning scenery surrounded by nature and the elements.
Every ceremony is created around you, from the structure to the exact wording, it aims to resonate with you, with words that mean something special to both of you.
A unique marriage ceremony with heart and personality – Yours
I also teach yoga, both in person and online, the focus of this is a sense of deep awareness and releasing of held tension from the body.
I lead “Explorations of Mindfulness” and Mindful Coaching and Enquiry, in groups and 1 to 1, both online and in person.
Love, compassion, understanding and peace,
I feel these are at the heart of all spiritual traditions.
