Rosie Carter-Suso · Heart-led Celebrant

Ceremonies held in Nature are already special, anchored by the elements - trees, stones, rivers, by Earth. Here are a few microhabits I do as a celebrant to spark the outdoor ceremony magic:

1. 🎵 SING: my comfortable-vocal-range 90s playlist will be on, on the drive over for a good old sing-a-long. Warming up the voice is a must.

2. 🕰️ WORK TO TIME: arriving in good time means I can be at ease; addressing any issues well in advance and get set-up with no rush. More relaxed and grounded.

3. 🌀 CONNECT TO THE SACRED: once I arrive, I create a sacred space. There are many ways I do this practically and energetically. More often I’ll create an altar space with fresh flowers, seasonal elemental items, sometimes photos and any items for your rituals.

4. 🎤 SOUND CHECK: a big emphasis of my #heartledcelebrant training was using my voice with amplification to create intimacy. So whether your ceremony has 20 or 220 guests my sound system will be set up well in advance for no vocal strain and a sound that feels personal.

5. ✨ INTENTION SETTING: Get still, breathe deep, speak my intentions for the ceremony - for love / remembrance / honouring / kindness - see the ceremony flowing beautifully in my mind’s eye.

6.🚰 DRINK WATER & mind my business. And get ready to welcome your guests.
