Hi I’m Elle, let’s talk about Sacred Celebrant Training…
But not in a serious, straight laced, kind of way.

This isn’t just a course. It’s a fullbody YES to stepping into your magic.
It’s a soul led week of ceremony, creativity, deep connection and yes, a whole lot of laughter.

Because here’s the thing…

We don’t believe in being so “spiritual” you forget how to giggle.
We believe in belly laughs and sacred firelight, in snorts of joy mid ritual, and in crafting ceremony that’s as real and radiant as you are.

This is for the ones who feel a bit too much, cry at the moon, and sometimes laugh so hard they wheeze.
It’s for the wild hearted ones who want to hold space with truth, beauty and soul but also bring humour, love, and their full radiant selves to the circle.
It’s for the women who’ve been quietly (or loudly!) holding space all their lives and are ready to own it.

And why now?

Because the world needs it.
It needs more real. More soul. More ceremony that raises the vibration, softens the edges, and brings people home to themselves.
It needs YOU in all your bold, feeling, slightly feral, deeply beautiful glory.

So if you’re wondering whether this is the sign spoiler alert it is.

Join us in Devon this September for seven soul filled days of transformation, inspiration, and connection.
Fully accredited, fully heart led led by three real humans who laugh a lot, go deep, and absolutely adore this work.

I’ll be there a little loud, a little wild, and also deeply present, grounded, and committed to holding space with love and truth.
Because that’s the magic when we bring the full essence of who we are into our work.

Ready to answer the call?

Drop me a message and let’s chat. There are just a few spaces left and they won’t hang around for long.
Come and remember who you are.

We’ll be waiting, hearts open, ready to laugh love and learn 🙌.

Blessed be
Elle.x

What a Love filled weekend! ❤️

First off a Handfasting Ceremony in an outdoor amphitheater on Exmoor.

The most stunning location. 💫

The couple were the most loved people I have ever come across 💓.

Handfasted by 150 of their closest friends and family it was magnificent in every way.

What a huge huge honour that was!

A massive thankyou to my Davey who helped with anything he was needed to, from music, handing out candles, assisting people when needed & being the que guardian & ribbon dispenser!

Was just wonderful to see this Inspiring couples ideas come to fruition for their ceremony. 🌀

In a circle of blooms where petals sigh,
With whispers of wind that dance on high,
We stand, hand in hand, hearts entwined,
Renewing our vows, love redefined.

In a garden of colours, vibrant and true,
Each flower a testament of love’s hue,
We promise again, beneath the sky’s dome,
To cherish each moment, in this sacred home.

By the sea where the waves kiss the shore,
Our love echoes the ocean’s roar,
On this sandy canvas, with skies of blue,
We pledge once more, our bond to renew.

Or in the woodland, where shadows play,
Amidst ancient trees that gently sway,
We vow with the rustle of leaves so near,
To love and to hold, year after year.

In each setting, a promise unfolds,
Of love that is timeless, a story retold,
With nature as witness, pure and grand,
We renew our vows, forever hand in hand.

Poem by Elle Welch.

For all vow renewal handfasting ceremonies booked for 2024 I’m offering a set price of £300 ( within an hour of Honiton Devon). A Simple bespoke ceremony, crafted for you. On a beach, in the woods, in a garden, in your front room……. You choose! Just the two of you or a gathering of close family & friends.

In the wake of the amazing Priestess Ceremonialist of Avalon training with the most incredible wombyn in july this year, I am inspired to write an anthology 'Circle of Avalon an Anthology of Priestess Embodiments', so far I have complied two poems, this one is for Lammas and the Goddess in her aspect of Grain Mother. I hope you enjoy. Lammas Blessings of abundance to you all.

Priestess Embodiment for Lammas: The Grain Priestess

I am naked and in my labour pains,
As Ker I am the embodiment of harvest and abundance,
Nourishment for all who seek my embrace.
All creatures of the forest bow to my majesty,
As my birthing fluids herald the first harvest of the land.
Perpetual love and nurturing mother energies flow,
Wild and Uninhibited, I belong to no one.
Yet I am in my most mothering element.
To all life, I serve, love, and nourish.

In my aspect of Demeter I have a deep longing to re connect
With my child, Persephone
As devoted mother, to me , all beings are her, and I shall give
The entirety of my nurturing love for all of life in her stead.

So in the Temple you come to my Priestesses with your truest intentions.
What do you wish to manifest?
What are the seeds of your dreams?
And what kind of soil are you planting them in?

If ego controls your desires your soil is barren,
The seed unable to open,
To take form, a dream fuelling disappointment.

But if your dreams hold the seeds of your goals,
Strong and consistent, true to your souls purpose and calling
Your soil will be fertile,
Soaked with life-giving enzymes,
Within the Mycelium,
Connecting nutrient exchanges and communication,
The seed cracks open, the delicate shoot of potentiality shyly moves upwards as it forms and grows.

As your Priestess who serves as embodiment , lay your head
Upon the fullness of my breast, my belly,
I am the embodiment of mothering love,
The source of nature in earthly form.
My law is love and light to all beings.

Return to me, for I am the origin,
The sanctuary where all belong,
The eternal cycle of creation,
In the temple of the Goddess ,
Where the harvest is endless,
And love flows unbound.

🌀Welcome to Motherhood Ceremony & Celebration.

On Saturday I had the honour of hosting a rite of passage ceremony for my dear beautiful sister. Holding space and encircled by her energetic family & sisters who are all there to support her and baby through the next coming months and years.

There was so much love in that circle, and with each blessing that love and energy grew! The children all in attendance joined in with grace & reverence no matter their age, they all just got it!

It was simply beautiful & what a way to welcome someone so special in to motherhood, knowing she has so much love, support and respect surrounding her.

If you’re curious about hosting something similar, do get in touch. As each ceremony is completely individual and can be just one person, or 100.

I can host them here at my home, your home, a village hall, or a park, I can travel up to 100 miles. Super flexible!
