First wedding of 2020 yesterday at the beautiful Dovecot Studios... the perfect retreat from a stormy day. A sweet ceremony between two culture-loving, tandem-adventuring souls 🚲🚲* 🌿 The bride was raised in the Quaker tradition so the couple honoured the Quaker custom of inviting all guests, young to elder, to sign their Wedding Book. So lovely!* 🌿 Huge congratulations to the newly married couple. In the words of your Gaelic wedding blessing:* 🌿 Mìlefàiltedhuit le d'bhréid, Fad do ré gun robhthuslàn. Móranlàitheandhuit is sìth, Le d'mhaitheas is le d'nìbhifàs.* 🌿 A thousand welcomes to you with your marriage. May you be healthy all your days. May you be blessed with long life and peace, May you grow old with goodness, and with riches.* 🌿 It was a great honour being your celebrant - thank you 🙏🏻Such a pleasure also to meet the friendly, super-efficient Dovecot Studios @dovecotstudios events team and swapping ceremony chat with ace photographer Rachel Hein @rachelheinphotography I look forward to working with you all again 🌟* * #loveisall #yourweddingyourway #yourceremonyyouchoose #agnosticscotland #scottishwedding #scottishweddingcelebrant #edinburghweddingcelebrant #mixedfaithwedding #mixedfaithceremony #spiritualnotreligious #agnosticceremony #werespectyourbeliefs

“We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made. In love we disappear.” [Leonard Cohen] Those close to me will know that the last few months have been tough following what felt like a plethora of diagnostic tests, surgery, endless waiting, then finally a breast cancer diagnosis. So far, I’ve been lucky - I’ve landed on the reassuring side of the statistics and the long-term prognosis is hopeful. My heart goes out to others who haven’t landed so ... and who are facing even more uncertainty ahead.* * I’m a great believer in being open when it feels right, and in the power of connection and support during times of tough transitions. I can honestly say that I’ve never felt more bolstered by awesome friends, family, clients and colleagues... even by those people I’ve worked with on occasion at weddings, naming ceremonies, funerals and other gatherings who have been utterly lovely, and especially by those families who postponed their ceremonies so that I could still lead them ❤️🌿* * So this is a HUGE shout out to say THANK YOU to EVERYONE for your kindness, messages, lifts in cars, thoughtful gifts, cards, laughs, gentle walks, cooked meals and hugs. I feel more grateful than I can say 🙏🏻🌿* * The whole experience has also made me appreciate - again - how lucky we all are to work in this industry of love ❤️🧡💛💙💚The positive relationships I’ve made as a celebrant and through providing pregnancy/birth/postnatal support at KnotStressed Therapies have most definitely helped to keep me afloat.* * I’m excited to be looking ahead to all the beautiful ceremonies scattered across 2020-2021 and all the birth preparation and parent-baby groups - moments of heart-bolstering joy on which to surf the ups and downs.* * So, THANK YOU, ALL. Here’s to 2020 bringing positive change for all who wish it 🌟🌿Big love 💛* * 📸 Thank you to my brother-in-law @jb37north for the use of his stunning photo of Cedars, Northern Lebanon.* * #loveisall #happynewyear #appreciatethegoodtimes #hugeachotheralittletighter #getamammogramat40 #itcouldsaveyourlife #breastcancerawareness

Happy Festivities Everyone!🎄 🌟* * “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin” [William Shakespeare]* * Thank you to all the incredible individuals, families and communities I have been so lucky to work with this year. There is now a native sapling tree growing in a beautiful part of Scotland in honour of you all 🌳✨* * To start the New Year as we mean to go on, my Agnostic Scotland colleagues and I have decided to support an important rewilding project run by Trees for Life in Glen Affric, Scotland. Rewilding action is something that is close to my heart so I feel soulful-happy to be gifting a tree for every ceremony I have conducted over the years, and will conduct going forward🌲💚* * Every time a couple are married, exchange vows, or express their life commitment to one another we will plant a tree to celebrate their union. When babies are welcomed by family and friends, and formally given their chosen name we will plant a tree to celebrate their arrival. When families gather to celebrate the life of a loved one who has died we will plant a tree in their memory ❤️🌿* * To all the families I’ve had the joyful privilege of working with so far, I hope you will enjoy thinking of your tree sprouting happily and forming part of a stunning wild forest in Glen Affric as you journey through 2020 🌱💚 * And to all the super-talented people I’ve met this year who work so hard behind-the-scenes to make ceremonies beautiful, and to those who capture that beauty on film and in photos, it’s been lovely to share time with you and I wish you a magical and rewarding 2020 🌟* * @agnosticscotland @celebrantlinda @soulful.celebrant * #loveisall #treesforlife #noplanetb #yourceremonyyourway #agnosticscotland #edinburghcelebrant #scottishcelebrant

For those who couldn't make it along to the Agnostic Scotland Launch Event on 28th November, here's how the evening bloomed... * 🌿 Our fabulous chairperson, Linda, gave an opening speech and shared our plans for Agnostic Scotland. Onie talked about setting up a belief body around Agnosticism and our philosophy. Andrea invited everyone to take part in a gorgeous ritual by dressing the Agnostic Scotland Clootie Tree - a sweet apple tree she had nurtured from a pip in her garden in Portobello. * 🌿 We shared delicious food, great conversations and homemade 'sparkly' fizz with all the wonderful celebrants, clients, friends and interested people who joined us. Everyone took part in the Clootie tree ritual by first soaking their cloots in the seawater, then tying them to the branches of the apple tree and sending an intention, prayer, blessing, merit into the universe.* 🌿 Lesley Walker sang a glorious and heartfelt rendition of Freedom Come Ye All. She was absolutely incredible and made four people weep with her beautiful performance. It was the perfect way to wrap up our Launch Ceremony - after all, a ceremony isn't a ceremony without both laughter and tears. Thank you, Lesley! * 🌿 And thank you to Laura Kate McLean for these super photos. Huge thanks also to all the incredible people who volunteered their time and help on the launch night. We are so grateful!* 🌿 The Agnostic Scotland Clootie Tree is now at home in Portobello with everyone's cloots attached. And we are super stoked for what 2020 will bring. Yay! * ❤️🌿 @soulful.celebrant @celebrantlinda @agnosticscotland @lauramcleannn * 🌿 #bringingfolktogether #loveisall #yourceremonyyourway #werespectyourbeliefs #agnosticscotland #agnosticscotlandlaunch
