WeddingsExperience this blessed union as a heartfelt occasion for yourselves and all who attend.Excerpts from a Wedding Ceremony... The natural elements which surround us every day are a constant reminder of the Divine. Many ancient cultures have long held that these elements can bring special blessings. Let us invite them to mingle with us today and bestow their blessings upon these two being wed in the olde way... Marriage offers the opportunity for sharing spiritual growth and creative expression and for elevating your lives to the highest potential. Ultimately through the communion of your two souls you approach and realize a reunion with the Divine... And repeat after me, "We will continue to help each other experience our own authentic evolution and spiritual growth of becoming All That We Can Be."Renewal of VowsAdd new vitality and zest to your marriage by recreating your vows, ceremony, commitments and love to each other. Choose a special day, a beautiful place and invite your friends and family to witness your celebration.Baby BlessingsWelcome a new child into the family and community with a special Baby Blessing. The ceremony includes special parts for the baby, parents, godparents, friends and family.Barbara will explore the child's lifetime symbols, and other influences, artfully weaving the information into a meaningful celebration of a new and precious life. "This little child from heaven we borrow, a bud of today, a flower of tomorrow." BirthdaysMake your birthday special by bringing more enchantment into this day as a new chapter in your life begins. This special occasion can denote some powerful changes. Each year we go into another numerological cycle and you can incorporate numerology and other traditions to give you hints and a theme for your new year.PassagesHonor a time when a friend or relative has passed with poignant poetry, words and ritual.What others have saidBarbara, Thank you so much for helping us to create the day that we had both imagined and dreamed of!

Laura & Derren 11/02 Background InformationOfficiating ceremonies is a deep calling for Barbara, an Ordained Minister of the Universal Life Church of California for over twenty years. She has ministered numerous weddings, baby blessings, birthdays, renewals, passages and milestones in people's lives bringing a new sense of wonder and meaning to an already special day. Her ceremonies have evolved from her own metaphysical and spiritual studies, travels and divine inspiration. Drawn by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Barbara moved to Little Switzerland from California in 2000. She shows her artwork at festivals, galleries and events in the surrounding area. She teaches art classes at her studio. You may even see her teaching landscape painting to her students at a scenic view along the Blue Ridge Parkway. She also paints murals in private homes and businesses. Ceremonies in Nature InformationThe fee for a ceremony officiated by Barbara anywhere in the United States is $250.00, plus travel expenses.
