Anne-Marie is a certified facilitator in the Buddhist path of Feeding Your Demons, a Life-Cycle Celebrant and a trained home funeral support with a focus on Vermont family directed funerals.

On August 14th..."Song & Silence" with Rev. Simon Ruth de Voil.
Rev. Simon Ruth de Voil will explore how song is an act of creation that invites us to listen with our whole selves. We often think of singing as expressive and outward focused—closer to speaking than listening. But the skilled musician is always listening, resting in the pause, the breath, and through that listening finds a hidden meaning inside the music. Simon Ruth de Voil is an ordained interfaith/interspiritual minister, trained to be a sacred presence outside the conventions of traditional religion. As a sacred musician, spiritual mentor and worship leader he incorporates chant, ritual, storytelling and mindful practice to create a space for profound connection and sacred witness. Simon's spiritual path and teaching is deeply rooted in Celtic Christianity, the wisdom of the earth, and in the Scottish land where he's spent most of his life.

If you like to sing, our small choir rehearses some simple pieces at 9:15am prior to the service. Coffee, tea and cookies are served after the service.
