Ceremony, Ritual and Performance

I am a qualified Civil Funeral Celebrant offering ceremony design and delivery for traditional burials and cremations, as well as natural burials and eco-funerals.

I’ve been an arts producer, writer, performer, theatre director, consultant. I work at what I love and live to be inspired by the work I do.

I’m a founder member of The Forest Ridge Project, a land and arts community in Dumfries & Galloway, where I live.

Some themes and values which inform my life and work:

  • Community and culture.
  • Nature and environment.
  • Facing death better – as a society and as individuals – how we prepare, talk about it and mark it. 
  • The stories that help us reconnect with the land we live on.
