What is celebrancy and what does it mean to be a humanist? How can connecting from a heart centered space lead to authentic networking?
Suzie & Donna explore discovering your passion versus being ready for it as well as the importance of acknowledging and honoring your feelings. Donna shares how her career path transformed from that of a teacher to that of a professional celebrant. She does an awesome job at unpacking what celebrancy is, what humanism is, and how religious beliefs can still be honored in ceremonies not officiated by clergy. Donna also shares the components of the courses in her own celebrant academy. If you’ve been curious about celebrancy, this episode is for you.
“Some of that passion comes from expertise… I feel competent. I feel confident.”
“We have the right to feel grief. I balance that gratitude with allowing myself to feel grief.”
About Donna: Donna is a professional celebrant, the owner of Lehigh Valley Celebrants, and is the director of the Celebrant Academy.
