Good Grief!

I am such a happy woman.
My recent experience at Celebrant training at Ottawa was exhilarating. The knowledge, enthusiasm and presentation skills of the trainers were unbeatable attributes for making the experience a wonderful one. Add to the mix a room of intelligent, creative and compassionate people and obviously the experience becomes even more grand.
I sat with tablemates that were all of the above -- knowledgeable, enthusiastic, intelligent, creative, compassionate and one more thing -- they were hilarious!
And if you are wondering but were afraid to ask and even if you weren't wondering -- celebrants are the alternative to having a clergy conducted funeral. We provide secular services. We do all sorts of other things -- like empowering folks by assisting them to pre-plan the details of a service for themselves and things of that nature.
We truly are the greatest things since sliced bread!
