Upcoming Workshops in 2012
The Communication Workshop
Are you afraid to communicate, to say what you think and feel? Do you think of what you should have said, after-the-fact? Do you struggle to be diplomatic and honest at the same time? You don't have to be the effect of your fear - you can learn to say what you think and feel with a calm, clear mind. The Communication Workshop will teach you how to communicate without fear or confusion; how to effectively bring about understanding with others; how to resolve disagreements and upsets with dialogue and finally, how to heal relationships with communication.

Who I Am
I am a minister, ordained by the Universal Life Church. I have been a Santa Barbara resident since 1973 and have raised a family and worked in the community as an artist and minister since then.
My Philosophy
A wedding ceremony is the public promise made between a couple, pledging to be partners for life. They are making a contract of love and a commitment to a life together as best friends, lovers and possibly parents. The vows they make are the heart of the wedding ceremony and so should represent who they are, their values and their mutual vision of a life together - a sort of, "Marriage Mission Statement". They should be carefully selected and well spoken. My duty and promise is to facilitate the most beautiful rendition of these vows as possible. I would be honored and very pleased to be your officiant, should you choose me to fulfill this important role in one of the most important days of your life as a married couple.
Fees
My wedding ministry services are by donation based on a scale of between $250.00 and $500.00.
