I have a master's level education in such things as how to engage a gathering of people, how to design meaningful moments in a ceremony, how to creatively collaborate in liturgy design, how to incorporate spiritual, cultural and religious backgrounds in authentic ways and how to create a flow of the ceremony that allows for emotional moments that are thoughtful and don't feel like a rollercoaster.
