How a Shamanic Spiritual Wedding Unfolds

A ceremony commences with clearing the area of old energies and making the space sacred so that it can be used for the purpose of intention-setting, commitments and for inviting the energies that you would like to create in your life.

To clear the ceremonial space I use drums, bells, flower essences, smudging and incense, either before your ceremony starts or at the beginning of the ceremony. If you wish, I can smudge you and your guests as they enter the ceremonial space.

Your Circle of Love

In the circle of your ceremony I ask your guests to greet each other as we begin our ceremony and become fully present to witness your declarations of love.

Opening Sacred Space and Blessings
During your ceremony, we ask for the blessings of your ancestors or spiritual guardians on your marriage and on each person present, on your wedding rings and from the 7 directions.

Spiritual Vows

Your marriage vows can reflect your spiritual beliefs and the promises you would like to make to your beloved in this lifetime. Examples of vows may include that you honour the divine in your partner, seek to support them in their spiritual growth and share the delights and challenges of the physical world together. You may like to write your own vows for this which I can assist you with.

Closing the Ceremony

At the end of your ceremony, we give thanks for the love that connects us all and for the couple who stands before us, declaring their love and sharing their happiness. We ask that all carry the joy of this moment in their hearts as they leave the ceremony space to congratulate you. We give thanks to Spirit, the ancestors, our families and friends, our guides and for the land as we close the circle.
