Tomorrow the Northern Hemisphere celebrates the Winter Solstice, marking the sun’s “rebirth” as it begins its return journey northward and daylight grows stronger once more.

I will be embracing the dark on this longest of all nights: the potentiality, the unmanifest, the yet to be…

The purpose of ceremony is in seeing, and being seen.

The meaning is in knowing, and being known.

The value is in feeling, and being felt.

Accessing our purpose, meaning and values is among the core principles of psychosynthesis, the spiritual psychology I studied after ordination.

I had already started Grace Ceremonies and begun officiating by the time I completed my practitioner training, not knowing then how the two would overlap.

Now, a decade later, I understand how truly powerful ceremonies can be: for couples establishing their union, for loved ones honoring a life's legacy, for families growing their identity as a unit, and for individuals integrating their choices and experiences.

Why? Because my ceremonies help manifest purpose, meaning and values.

They are so much more than beautiful...well-written...lovingly delivered...

They are vehicles of transformation.

They are mirrors for truth.

They are doorways to connection.

They allow you see, know and feel what matters in the moment. And to share it with the people most precious to you.

Whether spiritual or secular, ceremonies are sacred.

I'm a minister without walls.

True, I don't operate within the physical bounds of a faith community or the ideological confines of a faith doctrine.

But no one falls outside my circle of care.

The Latin word 'minister' means 'servant,' and I am proud to serve people of all religious and political beliefs, ages and abilities, education and financial means, races and ethnicities, gender expressions and sexual orientations.

I entered Interfaith seminary over 14 years ago knowing that inclusivity, appreciation and respect for all people was the only path I could follow to fulfill my calling to ministry.

Since then, I've served many who think, act and feel differently than I do. But I've never met someone who didn't hold hopes and fears, who didn't experience joys and sorrows, who didn't know love and loss.

There are no strangers in our shared humanity.

Sikh activist, author and lawyer Valerie Kaur prompts, "What happens when we love beyond our immediate circle; when we love others who do not look like us? When we choose to love even those we see as our opponents? What happens when we love without limit? Love becomes revolutionary."

I'm here for the revolution. I'm here to answer the call of love through service. All are welcome here. As Kaur says, "You are a part of me I do not yet know."

We've been here before.

Fear and uncertainty is part of our shared human experience. But some leaders exploit fear to gain power, then use their power to threaten those who don't have or feel secure in the privilege of state-sponsored protections.

This is not new, but it is no less dangerous or reprehensible today. We are all accountable to our fellow human beings (and all life forms, including the earth herself) to stand up and protect one another from harm.

This election has unleashed a fresh flood of fear and uncertainty, whether because of our relationships, religion, gender expression, immigration status, access to health care and so much more.

I helped couples secure their unions the last time our country was lead by a person who operated by fear-of and power-over. I will be here this time, too. Let me know if you need to get married. Let me know if you need someone to talk to, or hold your hand, or pray with you.

And, to let you know: I see you. You are not alone. I stand united in love, for love. I will not be divided by hate or cease to work for the care and protection of all beings, everywhere.

About Grace Ceremonies

I have a passion for creating beautiful and meaningful custom wedding ceremonies, blessings, memorials and more, helping people to honor significant moments in their life's journey. As an ordained Interfaith minister, I bring knowledge of and respect for a wide range of backgrounds and beliefs, offering an experience many may not know exists outside a faith community. ​"She was spellbinding in a non-denominational ceremony. ​Rev. Hannah Grace is a minister with a special gift." ​I've officiated hundreds of ceremonies—secular, spiritual and religious—at venues from barns to backyards, mountaintops to museums, chapels to city halls and everything in between. I have included Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and Native American faith traditions, to name a few, and rituals from Greece, Poland, Nepal, Ireland, Japan, the Philippines and beyond.

“Hannah did an amazing job creating a ceremony that was meaningful, personal and incorporated both of our faith and cultural backgrounds."

Even with these differences, my weddings and other ceremonies inspire similar responses: guests often ask how long I've been friends with the couple or family. They say they wish they had known about me when they got married or had their children. Many times I've heard it was the best ceremony they've ever been to.

"Working with Hannah to plan our ceremony was one of the most delightful and fulfilling experiences of our lives."
