celebrant
I am a  celebrant and event facilitator. I have acted as a celebrant at weddings, funerals, and naming ceremonies. I have also officiated at maypole blessings, wassailing, bound beating and related folkloric rites and rituals. I have worked with atheists, Pagans, Sikhs and Buddhists to facilitate and co-facilitate events and am happy to do this.  I trained as non-religious pastor with the (then) British Humanist Association. My own philosophy could be summarized as neo humanist and earth-centric.
Ideally, I help those celebrating to design their own celebrations, but I’m also happy to drop in on the day and do whatever is felt to be appropriate, by all parties.

Chris Lewis-Jones’s surreal works, which transform subjects as varied as a cricketer, the Red Cross Knight, toys, and tea trays into a wry palimpsest of English traditions, particularly as presented for  tourist consumption, have a sympathetic  ancestor in Burra’s apparently serene southern landscapes, which upon closer inspection reveal themselves to be full of sinister implications, insinuations and booby traps.
