A greater number of individuals identify as non-religious, secular, or 'spiritual' than ever before.
Many couples or families who seek our services are from mixed faith backgrounds or different cultures and are not comfortable having to 'pick sides'. They want all of their loved ones to be included, honored, and celebrated during their ceremony. Regardless of your religious or spiritual identity, a Humanist ceremony puts the focus on the person or people being celebrated.
While End of Life Celebrations, Vow Renewals, and Baby Welcomings are more common, we also create other life-cycle ceremonies, such as Coming of Age Celebrations, Adoption Ceremonies, and most recently, we are proud to offer Trans Gender Naming Ceremonies.

Trans Gender Naming Ceremonies
"From the moment you introduced yourself in my home and began to explain the process of putting together a meaningful service for my son, I knew you were the right person to honor his life. You radiated love. In the midst of our sorrow and hazy mental state, you truly helped us focus our thoughts away from our pain, and onto telling our son's story in a beautiful and loving way. Thank you for providing such a beautiful Celebration of Life service for my son, Ray."
Deborah Hartley
We are honored to offer Transgender Naming Ceremonies at no cost. Our business was founded on recognizing and supporting the LGBTQ community and this is one small way we can support our trans friends. Contact us if you would like to discuss details or simply to have questions answered. Naming ceremonies are joyful occasions for you and your family/friends to recognize your chosen name while honoring and relinquishing your given name. Whether you’re an adolescent, young adult, or ‘mature’ individual....this ceremony will be created to celebrate YOU!
