Ceremonies and Rituals
Reverend Diane Lund believes that ceremonies and rituals help us honour the unseen world by making it visible to our friends and family. Ceremonies and rituals give form to the formless. We all have moments in our lives that need to be marked; to be recognized and to be honoured. Long before Diane received the Reverend designation from the Canadian International Metaphysical Ministries, she created ceremonies for friends and family. She wrote her own wedding vows and many moons ago performed a mixed Jewish and Christian ceremony for my Godson’s christening.
