Ministerial Services
As Reverend Lisa, ordained interfaith minister, I offer services, ceremonies, prayers and love for all people in a spirit of acceptance and with the intention to serve the One.
Here you can see my address to the One Spirit Interfaith Seminary commencement June 2011
WEDDINGS I customize a ceremony to reflect your beliefs, feelings, style and the tone of your wedding day. An initial meeting (in person, by Skype or by phone) to discuss your wedding is free, with no obligation. The cost of the crafting of the ceremony with your input, a rehearsal if needed, and officiating is $400.
Also, consider pre-wedding sessions with me to begin your life together more free of the old baggage. See my Mind-Body Healing page.
LIFE CELEBRATIONS Personalized memorial services and funerals that acknowledge your loss and celebrate the life of your loved one. Fee: $300
BLESSINGS and RITUALS
Baby Blessing – a customized ceremony to welcome your little one, at any age, into the circle of love of family and friends and bless the path that lies ahead. At your location. Fee: $200
Did you know that the Sikh tradition honors the mother and welcomes the soul of the baby on the 120th day of the pregnancy with singing, prayers and food ? Have a
Soul Arrival Celebration !… I would be honored to help make it sacred and fun.
House or Business Blessing- clear the space and bless your intentions before beginning life there. Also, blessings can be done before leaving a space or a home with the focus on gratitude, or the intention to sell it! Fee:$200
Bridal Blessing Day- a sacred alternative to a traditional bridal shower, this day allows the bride- to-be to feel supported and acknowledged by female friends and family before this important transition in her life. With loving intention and a joyful feeling we gather for a tea ceremony and a relaxing ritual with essential oils. Then the bride receives a spa treatment while her attendants create for her a meaningful gift she will treasure. Held at the MainStay, with the help of other MainStay practitioners. Up to 10 participants. Fee: $400
I also customize rituals to mark the sacredness and importance of
other life events such as:
- Divorce or Good-bye
- Birthdays
- New Family Members
- Grief – on an anniversary, after miscarriage
- Pets Passing
- New Beginnings
- Girls Coming of Age
I live in Cortland, NY and will drive up to one hour to officiate a service at no additional cost. $10/hr. after that.
