My Ceremonies

The Veloura Ceremony - A Handfasting to Weave Your Union

A handfasting is one of the most ancient and sacred ways to honour a union - a ritual where two hands, two hearts, and two paths are bound together as one. Rooted in old traditions yet alive with present-day meaning, this ceremony invites you and your beloved to step into a circle of love, spirit, and devotion.

 

Your Veloura Ceremony is crafted as a living rite, guided by your story, shaped by your vows, and blessed by the natural elements. With cords of your choosing, your hands are bound as a symbol of the bond your souls already share, witnessed by those you love and by the earth herself. Every handfasting I create is unique, woven with depth, beauty, and a touch of enchantment, so that your union feels not only celebrated, but truly consecrated.

Your Veloura Handfasting Ceremony is created as a sacred rite of passage, honouring your love in a way that is deeply personal, timeless, and unforgettable.

 

What’s Included:

Consultation Call – to weave your love story, preferences, and vision into the ceremony.
Grounded Opening & Blessing – a centering meditation to prepare you and your guests.
Calling in of the Elements – Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit are invited to bless and witness your union.
Your Love Story – told and honoured as part of the rite, ensuring your ceremony is truly unique.
Exchange of Vows – in your own words, or with gentle guidance if needed.
Exchange of Rings – optional, as a modern addition to the ancient rite.
The Handfasting Ritual – your hands are bound with a cord of your choosing, symbolising your souls and lives interwoven.
Closing Blessing – sealing your vows and sending your love forth, witnessed by all.
Keepsake Bundle – including your ceremonial cord, and a hand-blended incense crafted to remind you of your union.

Package Price: £750
(Additional travel costs may apply outside of Berkshire.)

The Veloura Passage Ceremony - Funerals

A Veloura Passage Ceremony is created to honour both the life of your beloved departed and the sacred tides of grief within those who remain. These ceremonies are designed as deeply personal spaces of remembrance, healing, and release, woven with ritual, story, and blessing. Whether held soon after a passing or years later, they provide a container for both closure and love to flow.

What’s Included:

Consultation Call – to listen to your story, the life of your beloved, and your wishes for the ceremony.
Grounded Opening & Blessing – a centering meditation for you and your guests, creating a sacred container for grief and love.
Calling in of the Elements & the Beloved Departed – Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit are invited to hold and bless the passage of the soul.
Life Story & Remembrance – sharing and honouring the essence of your beloved’s life journey.
Ritual of Farewell – a symbolic act (such as candle lighting, cord releasing, or scattering sacred herbs/incense) to bless the soul’s transition.
Spaces for Sharing – up to 3 prepared readings, poems, or words from family and friends.
Closing Blessing – sealing the rite with love, gratitude, and remembrance.
Keepsake Bundle – including a remembrance candle, hand-blended incense, and a small vial of sacred anointing oil, to carry the energy of the ceremony forward.

Package Price: £250
(Additional travel costs may apply outside of Berkshire.)

 

Pet Farewell Ceremonies

 

The bond we share with our animal companions is profound and unconditional, and their passing can leave a tender ache in our hearts. A Pet Farewell Ceremony offers you a sacred space to honour their life, express your grief, and celebrate the love and joy they brought into your world.

 

Just like with human passage ceremonies, we weave remembrance, ritual, and blessing to support both you and the spirit of your beloved pet as they journey beyond the veil.

 

Package Price: £150
(Additional travel costs may apply outside of Berkshire.)

The Veloura Ceremony of Release & Remembrance - For Miscarriage or Abortion)

Miscarriage and abortion are experiences often shrouded in silence. For many, there is little space to grieve, process, or be witnessed in the depth of what has been endured. These are thresholds that touch not only the body, but the heart and soul, and they deserve to be honoured with compassion, dignity, and sacred ritual.

 

The Veloura Ceremony of Release & Remembrance offers you a sanctuary for healing. Whether your loss came unexpectedly through miscarriage, or through the conscious but difficult choice of abortion, this ceremony creates space for you to release grief, honour what has been, and weave remembrance into your story.

 

Your ceremony can be held in nature, at your home, or within a sacred ceremonial space, depending on what feels most supportive. It may be witnessed by just you and your priestess, shared with your partner, or accompanied by trusted companions who hold your heart with care.

 

Through ritual, invocation, and gentle remembrance, this ceremony helps you:

  • Release the weight of grief, shame, or silence.

  • Honour the life, choice, and threshold you have walked.

  • Remember with compassion, acceptance, and wholeness.

These ceremonies are tender, transformative, and profoundly healing. They return you to yourself - whole, seen, and deeply held.

 

Package Price: £400
(Additional travel costs may apply outside of Berkshire.)
