Marilyn’s lovely, friendly approach made our commitment ceremony a very ’natural’ process for us; we were wanting something ‘elemental’ and she steered us to a place where we could articulate and make real, what we wanted to share with everyone joining us. We both felt ‘present’ on the day and that our day was unique, all due to Marilyn’s respectful and professional style as our Celebrant. Thank you Marilyn!!! The Girls xoxo
Love Letter Jody & Naomi Civil Partnership Handfasting Old Petrie Town North Brisbane
MARILYN MADE OUR CIVIL PARTNERSHIP CEREMONY SO PERFECT! She helped us make the best decisions and engaged everyone attending in the ceremony. It was the very best day thanks in no small part to Marilyn. We will always be grateful to her for her help in the time before the ceremony and the way she directed us through the ceremony. I cannot think of anyone else I would want to do this for us. MARILYN IS AMAZING!! Love Jody & Naomi xoxo

The Path and Practice of
Conscious Commitments
As your celebrant, I consult with you to create a ceremony that mirrors your spiritual path and your values, separately and together. A ceremony that reflects the conscious life you have chosen to live together, forever.
Your Wedding Vows will provide intention and energy to create your future together. It is important that the ceremony feel natural and spiritually meaningful for you both. It would be a joy for me to co-create and design with you an original ceremony to provide a solid foundation for your conscious marriage. There are many special sub-ceremonies that can enhance your conscious marriage.

Conscious Marriage happens when two people join together on a journey of spiritual growth. They want to make the journey. Their love and trust keep them together, Their intuition guides them. They consult with each other, They are friends, They laugh a lot. They are equals. Spiritual partnership is a partnership between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth. Gary Zukav.
Love Letter from Cassie & Saskia Commitment Eco-Studio Fellini Mudgeeraba Gold Coast
Hi Marilyn, we just wanted to say thank you for making our special day extra special. The ceremony was perfect and everything we wanted it to be and more. We had a guest comment that it was the best ceremony she has ever seen - so we just had to pass on those compliments to you. Thank you so much. The rest of the day was filled with laughs, dancing, awesome speeches and delicious food. Thank you so much again for making our day so special, you did a fantastic job on the day! Love Cassie & Saskia xoxox
A conscious marriage is a place where you can learn attitudes, skills, and practices that can help you deepen and grow in love and satisfaction together, through a lifetime of change. This is the path and practice of conscious commitment.
What does it mean to hold your most intimate relationship - your marriage - as a central part of your spiritual path? Your partner will see and receive the best and worst in you, and reflect this back to you, like a mirror reflects back the heat of the sun.
We support and challenge each other to grow and be the best we can. We give great gifts of our love and our companionship and the willingness to travel through life together. We can agree to do our best to be skillful and patient in this journey and to do our best to listen beneath awkward or unskillful communication for the jewel of the teaching which may be available. When we are on a spiritual path together, we are choosing to learn not only through the joys and ease of relationships but also through its challenges.
Essential Oils in Wedding Ceremonies
Essential oils can be integrated into the structure of your ceremony to enhance the senses, the awareness and your presence. They assist you to experience the connection with your partner through ritual.
After the excitement of the wedding has faded, when you use those oils again with your partner, the aroma will bring back all the magical memories of the love and the emotions of your special day! Their fragrance also reminds you to be present in your everyday life. It would also be perfect to use them again on your commitment
What greater gift can any human being offer to another than the commitment to stay and keep turning towards one another with an open heart? - from Judith Ansara Gass.
As you and your partner approach your wedding, discussing what it might mean to be spiritual friends. How can you honour your separateness and your differences, as well as the ways in which you naturally connect? Can you see your partner as existing not only to meet your expectations and fill your needs, but someone on their own path recognising that you are two unique individuals with different histories, different gifts and different dreams?
