Religion
In March 2021, through personal development and wishing to better understand myself, I took a step towards my spiritualism and became ordained. As a non-religious, religious Minister, I am non-specific so I don't associate to any specific religion, or "path". Instead, I believe everyone is entitled to their own choice and encouraged to do so.
This has provided a path to be a celebrant and conduct weddings, funerals and celebrations of birth and life. Either on land, or where there is a large request, over, or under water.
Whilst officially you may call me Reverend, Will is just fine!
As I recognise not everyone is interested, and this is not a forum for discussion, if you wish to know more, or discuss an underwater wedding, scattering of ashes, or celebration of life, please Contact me for more information.
