Hillside Workshop: The Anti Wedding

Picture
​At Hillside Community Festival in July 2016 I presented the workshop "The Anti Wedding" to a full tent of enthusiastic folks ready to re-imagine rituals celebrating partnership. 

Wedding and commitment ceremonies don’t have to be boring and meaningless. With Life-Cycle Celebrant Christine, learn a bit of interesting/kinda creepy history of common secular wedding ceremony traditions and how to keep the wedding-industry monster at bay. Then join a playful, interactive brainstorm of what ritual re-imagined can look like—from the simple to the fantastical (LGBTQ+ and poly-inclusive).
