Giving Voice: Inspiration, Provocation & Congregation
Lending my voice
​
For many years I have known that at the core of my deeper purpose is a talent for communicating in song, word and presence. There are three main ways in which I could help you to create events, or add inspiration or provocation to existing or planned events:
Services, Ceremonies and Rituals
As a one spirit interfaith minister, it is my privilege to conduct inclusive services, ceremonies and rituals, which are designed with people of any – or no – faith or philosophy in mind. Such events can be anything from a 1-2-1 rite of passage in a woodland, to a funeral service for hundreds of people in a chapel, or a wedding blessing or child naming for a select circle of friends and family in a marquee. It's all about co-creating with you an experience that is especially fitting to those that will gather, and in which each and every one feels included and able to find their part in the gathering.
Speeches and Sermons
I am available to speak inspirationally and provocatively on a wide range of topics – for example from sexuality spirituality and religion to managing the squeeze between having an ageing parent and a teenage child; from middle class privilege to why it’s important to listen to indigenous peoples; from forgiveness to what ‘levelling the playing field’ really means.
Performances
​
I am available to lend my voice, and one or two instruments, to your gatherings, ceremonies, celebrations, rites of passage. I have been commissioned at times to write songs and poems for particular occasions. And occasionally, I perform in concerts, cabaret events and recitals.
You can hear some of my music and read some of my poetry on this website – please inquire if you wish to know more.
