So if I reach the source what should I do when I get there?

Last weekend in Italy.

Over Christmas I realised I was becoming overwhelmed with all the different celebrancy roles I play and that this was getting in the way of what I really want to do, which is be the best celebrant I can be, period. So with the help of Humanists UK I've stepped back from being a celebrant trainer and a local organiser. Last Sunday I finished my last wedding training weekend and our lovely cohort of humanist wedding celebrant trainees made me this video.
I've loved being a trainer and I've learnt so much from the people I've been meant to be training and our current cohort is no exception. Thank you all for your kindness and generosity.

One of the things I love about being a celebrant is visiting venues for the first time and yesterday I had my first trip to Langar Hall set in its own beautiful grounds just 12 miles outside Nottingham. I spent a fascinating hour meeting the groom’s family and being shown round the interior, which feels like a cross between a much-loved family home and a bohemian Soho club. Can’t wait to go back there at the end of April.
