Optional Extras:
Cake and Mead Ceremony
If you would like this traditional ritual included, it comes after the ceremony and the jumping of the broom. Organic Somerset Mead from Avalon Vineyards will be provided for you and your guests during the ceremony (organic local apple juice for those guests not wishing to have alcohol). You may provide your own cake if you wish. Price for this ceremony is number dependent, approximate cost £40-£80
Sacred Couple’s Incense Blending Ceremony and Sound Bath
The day/evening before your handfasting wedding/vow renewal, you can enjoy this wonderful ceremony, which lasts approximately an hour. During this elemental bonding ritual (created by the High Priestess of the famous Goddess Temple on the Isle of Avalon), you will create together your own special pot of incense, to then be used during the element of “AIR” blessings at your handfasting. This will be yours to keep and whenever you light it, you will be taken back to your magical ceremony. The ritual is followed by a gentle relaxing sound bath, during which you will lie or sit in the floral representation of the Vesica Pisces symbol, as seen at the head of the Chalice Well in Glastonbury. Cost £120

A UNIQUE AND PERSONAL FAREWELL
Passing Over Ceremony
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL “Rite of Passage Ceremony,” to honour the passing of your loved one, and send them onto their next soul adventure with your blessing. It was created by priestesses of the Goddess Temple in Glastonbury and can be held either prior to or after a formal funeral, even many years after their passing. We hold this ceremony in our healing yurt “Willow”, which is set in the wildflower meadow at The Yurt Sanctuary in Somerset. If there is a special place you would like to do this instead, that is also possible. (Please note that this is usually an indoor ceremony, unless there is seating and rain cover available at your outside venue of choice)
We use the elements of air, fire, water and earth to help you say the goodbye that either you didn’t get the chance to at the time or maybe it was not exactly in the way you would have liked.

This heart-felt ceremony gives the opportunity to all present to contribute and feel part of the celebration of the departed. You may want to tell stories about your life with them, or just communicate quietly, directly from your soul. It can be as respectful, peaceful or joyful as you would like, with your own choices of music.
The ceremony ends with a gentle sound bath meditation, where you will journey with your beloved as a group and say your final farewells.
To allow all present to be fully involved, this ceremony has a maximum of 12 participants. It will last from 1-2 hours. Please do feel free to bring anything meaningful to place on the altar during the ceremony.

GATHER AND CELEBRATE
Baby Naming Ceremony
A WONDERFUL WAY to celebrate your child, (or as an alternative/addition to a traditional christening), this ceremony can be created for children of any age. You may want to reveal your baby’s name officially to friends and family or take the opportunity to mark a special birthday for an older child. It is a beautiful way to gather and celebrate, using nature, the elements, music (and bubbles!), plus the ceremony involves plenty for the younger guests to do. As with all our ceremonies, this will be completely bespoke and created entirely for you. It can also be part of a weekend stay at the Yurt Sanctuary… if you have booked both yurts, you will have the whole place to yourselves, with plenty for adults, children (and dogs!) to enjoy and explore.

I will create a beautiful and uplifting elemental ceremony for you and your guests to celebrate you “standing in your sovereignty”. This can include, readings, poems, songs, music… whatever helps you connect strongly with the essence of who you truly are!
