What Is Handfasting?
Handfasting is an ancient tradition — a symbolic binding of two lives, hearts, and spirits. Often called the "original wedding ceremony," it dates back to Celtic, Pagan, and Norse customs, where couples would have their hands gently bound together with ribbon, cord, or cloth to mark their union.
Today, handfasting is a beautiful way to honour love, spiritual, romantic, or symbolic, through a deeply personal and meaningful ritual.
Whether as a stand-alone ceremony or part of a wedding, vow renewal, or commitment celebration, handfasting speaks to the soul in a way that words alone often cannot.
Why Choose Handfasting?
In a world where love comes in many forms, handfasting invites you to celebrate your connection in a way that feels authentic, soulful, and timeless.
Deeply Personal: Each ceremony is crafted to reflect your unique journey, beliefs, and bond.
Symbolic and Sacred: The binding of hands represents unity, trust, and the weaving together of two lives.
Spiritual, Not Religious: Perfect for couples looking for a soulful, nature-based ritual outside of formal religious frameworks.
Inclusive and Embracing: Handfasting is for everyone, all relationships, all love.

The Binding Cords
The cords used in handfasting can be symbolic and beautiful. You might choose colours that hold meaning, fabrics that connect to your heritage, or even braid them yourself with intention and love.
I can guide you in choosing or creating your cords as part of the preparation process.

Ceremony & Ritual for the Scattering of Ashes
A Thoughtful Way to Say Goodbye
Scattering a loved one’s ashes can be a profoundly moving and meaningful moment - a chance to say goodbye in a way that feels personal, natural, and full of love.
While this ceremony is non-religious, it is deeply respectful. It honours the life, memories, and presence of the one who has passed, while offering space for reflection, release, and peace.
What is an Ash Scattering Ceremony?
This ceremony is a gentle ritual where family and friends gather to return the ashes of a loved one to a meaningful place — the sea, a forest, a hillside, a garden. It is a simple but powerful act of release, guided by words, silence, memory, and intention.
The ceremony might include:
A few words of welcome and intention
Time to reflect and remember — with readings, music, or silence
Personal stories or messages shared aloud
A moment of stillness before the scattering
The scattering of the ashes, either by one person or shared among those present
A closing gesture — such as casting petals, lighting a candle, or simply holding hands in silence
Each ceremony is created with care to reflect the wishes of the family and the spirit of the person being remembered. It can be as simple or as detailed as you wish.
Why Have a Ceremony?
Grief needs space. Ritual helps give shape to the unspeakable — a way to honour a life, to say goodbye, and to begin letting go.
This ceremony is not about religion, but about meaning:
It offers a quiet, human moment to reflect and remember
It marks the transition from presence to memory
It allows family and friends to come together, in nature, with love
It becomes a lasting memory in its own right — a peaceful farewell
Your Ceremony, Your Way
There is no “right” way to scatter ashes. I work with you to create a ceremony that feels right - intimate, warm, and true to the person you’re remembering.
Whether you wish to include poetry, music, moments of silence, or simple spoken words, the ceremony will honour your loved one with grace and care.
