‘Our children are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself’
Kahlil Gibran
The arrival of a new baby is a miraculous event and has a profound impact on all those around them. This precious new life can bring a sense of joy, unity and purpose.
A baby naming or blessing is an opportunity to welcome and honour the baby and express the love commitment and care of parents, family and friends. However a traditional religious rite, for whatever reason, may not necessarily feel right for you.
We can work with you to create a unique and truly meaningful ceremony which is personalised to reflect you, your family and personal beliefs. Such a ceremony could include any or all of the following:
- formal naming of your child
- your own personal promises
- thoughts on being a parent
- vision for the future
- personal blessing of each guest
- presentation of a special/ significant present
- prayers/ invocation of gratitude
- bless the uniqueness of your child
Held in a place that is special to you, wherever that may be, such a ceremony can provide the basis of a heartfelt thoughtful gathering and a truly special “Welcome!”
