Compass Ceremonies

Taking a little pause to recharge my heart and spirit ✨

Grateful for a bustling season of love stories in 2025, and already looking forward to co-creating meaningful ceremonies with all of my 2026 couples. 💍🌿

My inbox will be a little quieter while I rest and refill, but I’ll be returning emails on Nov 24th with fresh energy and inspiration for the beautiful threshold moments ahead. 💫

Oh my, JOHN O'DONOHUE - simply exquisite! 🥹

It is utterly astonishing how the force and fiber of each day unravel into the vacant air of yesterday. You look behind you and you see nothing of your days here. Our vanished days increase our experience of absence. Yet our past does not deconstruct as if it never was. Memory is the place where our vanished days secretly gather. Memory rescues experience from total disappearance. The kingdom of memory is full of the ruins of presence. It is astonishing how faithful experience actually is; how it never vanishes completely. Experience leaves deep traces in us. It is surprising that years after something has happened to you the needle of thought can hit some groove in the mind and the music of a long vanished event can rise in your soul as fresh and vital as the evening it happened.

is a quaint and unique venue space for one-of-a-kind Kootenay wedding experiences filled with connection, love and nature.

💫I had a great visit today and loved all the unique touches like this off the grid caravan home built on an old farm truck.

So quaint and Kootenay. I can’t wait to officiate a wedding here 🤩

💫 An archway acts as a beautiful threshold, representing a new gateway and shared journey together, framed by the enchanting landscape.

🎉 Getting married under an archway that frames the stunning upper Arrow Lake offers a truly magical and unforgettable beginning to your marriage. The fluffly white cloud, blue sky, majestic mountain backdrop, and the inviting warmth of Halcyon Hot Springs Resort create a setting unlike any other. 🤩

I would love to hear about your dream ceremony under the arch. Contact me and let’s have a conversation.

When our eyes are graced with wonder, the world reveals its wonders to us. There are people who see only dullness in the world and that is because their eyes have already been dulled. So much depends on how we look at things. The quality of our looking determines what we come to see. Too often we squander the invitations extended to us because our looking has become repetitive and blind. The mystery and beauty is all around us but we never manage to see it. When the imagination awakens, the inner world illuminates. We begin to glimpse things that no-one speaks about, that the outer world seems to ignore.
