Marriage, Happily Ever After

The two pillars of success in marriage are passion and compassion. The bridge between these must be crossed every day, so, the bridge must be strong and flexible. Whether you are just beginning down the road of marriage or are somewhere further along the road, this workshop will teach you the tools for creating a happy lasting marriage based on passion, compassion and understanding. With the divorce rate over 50% in the U.S., this workshop is a must for any couple serious about making their relationship work.

Teen Empowerment Workshop
"Teenhood" is a time of awakening and discovery. In this magical period of life there is a delicate balance of self-awareness and social awareness which, when nurtured develops responsibility - the essence of personal power. This workshop helps teens answer questions about their identity, their purpose and their power as individuals.
M - F for two weeks from 10:00 - 3:00. June 18 - 22 & 25 - 29
Location: TBA.
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 and the vision of their values as a couple. 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.
