Mentoring

Are you a practicing celebrant seeking in depth support with a particular aspect of your work, such as creative script writing, or confident ceremony delivery?

Or perhaps you are looking to explore and deepen your understanding of a specific type of ritual such as handfasting or vow renewal? Or are you an aspiring celebrant who would prefer a one to one bespoke training package, or perhaps you’ve been asked to deliver a wedding or naming for friends or family and would like some support to help you create and conduct a beautiful, magical ceremony for them?

Whatever your celebrancy training needs, and whether you are looking to work one-to-one or in a small group, our course director River Jones will be happy to discuss a mentoring package with you.
