About
We are a community of free thinking, reflective and engaged fellows. We offer a resource for support and discussion amongst people who have a belief in the natural world and who rely on scientific evidence, personal connections and relationships to understand the complexities of life. We value the contributions of culture, the arts, story, and “more-than-human” beings to enrich our lives and connections to each other and to support the flourishing of individuals and of our world.
Within this community, we offer alternative approaches to mark the milestones in our lives, through ritual and ceremony, for those of us who do not ascribe to theistic religious beliefs.
Community
Our members come from many walks of life and traditions, and from cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds and identities. We can be found across this Island. What we have in common is an appreciation of a community space in which flourishing of the individual is aligned to the flourishing of our natural world.
Celebrants
Our experienced Celebrants are located across this Island. We work with individuals, families and groups to develop inclusive bespoke ceremonies that reflect your values and intentions. Is there any event you wish to mark? Talk to us about how we can work together, to create a meaningful respectful occasion.
Ceremonies
The need for ritual and celebration, marking important events and milestones in our lives, and in the lives of those we love and cherish, is integral to our human condition. Along with legal marriage ceremonies, we offer funeral and memorial services, baby naming and welcome ceremonies, vow renewals and coming of age ceremonies, among others.
