Wedding Celebrant/Officiant
As a licensed minister of Religious Science and practitioner of Science of Mind, my training is in spiritual principle as opposed to a certain religious dogma, AND I absolutely honor all religious and spiritual practices. My intention as your celebrant is to co-create an amazing service filled with love and ritual.
My fee generally includes:
"I have had the pleasure of receiving spiritual counseling from Darrell on a few occasions, so was familiar with his presence, his warmth and his approach to spirituality. When I got engaged, I was pleased beyond belief when Darrell agreed to marry my husband and I. Neither of us are very religious so there was no template to default to, and both of us know ourselves well enough to be rather particular on how we would want such an occasion designed. We met with Darrell twice and he truly guided us to define the type of wedding we wished to have with thoughtful questioning and counsel. We knew that we wanted ritual, some gravity to the event, and the inclusion of our community. After helping us define those desires, Darrell created a ceremony that was beyond what we could have wished for. He researched combining rituals and found one that resonated with us and prepared a delivered a ceremony that was inclusive and participatory for our guests from start to finish. We are forever grateful." - Best love, B. King
Inspirational Speaker
I love nothing more than to get in front of group and talk about my favorite subjects, consciousness, mindfulness and spirituality. Whether in front of a congregation at a spiritual community, church, synagogue, mosque or another place of worship, even a corporate or non-profit office setting, I offer talks that inspire and cause intrigue into discovering what makes us tick and how we can use this understanding in our daily lives to have a greater experience of peace, security, love, joy and hope. My speaking rate depends on travel and length of the talk or event.
Baby Blessing
Offering baby blessings is such a joy for me. It is an opportunity to support you, your family and friends to pause and welcome into the immediate family and extended village of your family this new life. We set very powerful intentions for the life of your child and welcome the affirmation and support of everyone present, parents, siblings, grand-parents, god-parents, friends and other relatives to hold the intentions set on this day in the highest regard. This ceremony and ritual can be as formal or informal as you wish. I have done blessing on significant grounds to the family, to the back porch of the family home. We will make any and every space sacred to celebrate your baby.
