Worship Services
I have been a guest minister at churches
and religious fellowships throughout the US, offering my unique blend of music, message/sermon, guided meditation, stories, congregational singing, and participatory ritual, woven together around an inspiring and relevant theme.

Wedding Ceremonies
I believe that every relationship is a unique expression of love in the world, and therefore, your wedding ceremony should reflect that. I work closely with each couple to design a personalized ceremony that honors their values, spirituality, family traditions, and lifestyle. I will support and guide you in writing your own vows, and in choosing readings, music, and other elements that will make your special day unforgettable.
Baby Blessings
I love to welcome new beings into the world! I specialize in working with interfaith families, co-creating a customized blessing ceremony that honors the spiritual and cultural heritage of both of the parents. I also work with families who are unaffiliated with any formal religious tradition.
Singing, prayers, and ritual elements are woven together in a beautifully-crafted ceremony that will be a lifelong memory for your family.
Life cycle ceremonies
Change is a part of life, and every milestone,
threshold, and passage brings an opportunity
to honor the sacred. This can include:
​
-
a coming of age ceremony for a teen
-
first menses for a girl entering womanhood
-
menopause ceremony for a woman entering her "wisdom years"
-
special birthdays or anniversaries
-
adoption ceremony
Whether you choose to incorporate ritual elements from a particular tradition or prefer to create your own, I will work with you to design a personalized ceremony that reflects the depth and power of the occasion.

Memorial Services
Memorialize your loved one in a way that you know he or she would want to be remembered, in a celebration of his/her life that honors his/her beliefs, spirituality, and the love he/she brought to the world.
​
Or, think ahead and plan your own, making your wishes known to your family in advance. I will lovingly guide you though this process.

Devotional Chanting
Throughout the ages and across cultures, prayer through song and simple body movement has been a powerful vehicle for connecting with the Divine. I am a founding member of the musical group ONE LOVE, offering global ecstatic chant-- a unique blend of kirtan (high-energy call-and-response chanting from the Hindu/Yoga tradition) and devotional chants from across the spectrum of spiritual traditions and cultures--an engaging and uplifting musical celebration of global prayer!
