Who are the Essenes?

The Essenes are a group of people who practice a spiritual life of peace, love and compassion as a way of being. They have been in community for about 2000 years. Their purpose is to be of service in the world supporting people in living a life they love. Their teachings are based on the writings of the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in the caves in Qumran, Israel in 1947. Follow this link to read more about Essenes

Vanessa







“We are so happy we found you to do our ceremony.  Your delivery of our words were so wonderful that our guests who had never cried at any wedding before, told us how they couldn’t help but cry at ours.  They said it was just so moving and beautiful.”

—- Vanessa & Hoc

Melissa and Tracy







“Thanks for delivering our ceremony so beautifully.  As you predicted, it was a perfect day.  We wouldn’t change one moment.  Your presence was warm and supportive; your tone was just right — caring and filled with light.  I’m certain that fate lead us to your doorstep.  Thank you.”

—–Melissa & Tracy

The Truth of Me

Rummaging through the closet of my mind
Searching and searching but have yet to find
The truth of me.
Although I know that it is in there
A garment I want so desperately to wear
Just hiding from me
I quickly discard a few remnants from my past
And toss some borrowed and donated pieces out fast
But still the truth evades me
I haven't made the slightly scratch nor dent
Cause the clutter and garbage is omnipresent
Deeply burying the reality of me
I hastily decide to throw it all away
Realizing that none of it came home here to stay
Just a temporary illusion of me
I found what I need in the closet's core
Now, I don't have to search no more
And I can be free.
