Blessing ceremomies: welcoming a new life
When your family's religious values-system, for whatever reason, is not compatible with traditional "baptism" or "christening" ceremonies, an intimate time of blessing is an appropriate alternative.
Kristine offers several options for festive, reverent and joyful approaches to welcoming a new life into your community and family.
Fee includes one meeting prior to the ceremony, a consultation to determine the personality and approach, and the ceremony - delivered in the venue of your choice.
Some people choose to recognize a new life by celebrating in their home. Others find a park a lovely setting, and others would prefer a religious venue. Kristine can both suggest and accommodate a variety of environments for this important family experience.
