I particularly like to do outdoor ceremonies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Naming ceremonies<\/strong> are a way to celebrate the arrival of new family members and welcome them to the world. <strong>Funerals and memorials<\/strong> bring family and friends together to celebrate the unique life of the person who has died. <strong>Weddings<\/strong> mark a joyous new beginning for a couple as they make their vows in front of family and friends &#8211; or maybe not if they opt for an elopement!<\/p>\n<p><strong>My ceremonies<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are warm, flexible and unique &#8211; written with and for you<\/li>\n<li>Are inclusive, dignified and honest<\/li>\n<li>May include music, ritual and readings if you wish (I can advise)<\/li>\n<li>Can be held wherever you wish<\/li>\n<li>Include a Presentation Copy and PDF given afterwards as a lasting reminder of your special day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more details, click one of the tabs above or feel free to contact me for a chat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About me<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love to help people mark key points in their lives, whether it be the birth of a new baby, their wedding or the loss of a loved one. I used to teach at Swansea University; this background in higher education means I have a wealth of experience in organising events, public speaking, and communicating empathetically with people of all ages. I believe in the power of kindness.<\/p>\n<p>Living as I do near the Gower Peninsula with its stunning coastline, I make the most of the great outdoors. I am a trained Lowland Leader and am working towards my Hill and Moorland Leader qualification. I am part of the team who organise the annual Gower Walking Festival and am a core member of Uplands Living Streets. I am a keen gardener and volunteer regularly at Swansea&#8217;s beautiful Singleton Park. I love to read, cook, and go to the cinema.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The humanism thing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to be a humanist or know anything about it to appreciate a warm and personal\u00a0 ceremony, which is what we offer!<\/p>\n<p>But if you are curious, here&#8217;s where you can find out more: <a href=\"https:\/\/humanism.org.uk\/.\">https:\/\/humanism.org.uk\/.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Humanist celebrants are highly trained and are accredited with Humanists UK. We are DBS checked and insured. We are part of a network, so if by any chance I am ill or otherwise unable to take your ceremony, a local colleague will step in at short notice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you think I might be the right person to lead a ceremony for you, get in touch for a no obligation chat: 07951 393971 or b.haines9@icloud.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-179 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/humanist.org.uk\/brigidhaines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/661\/2023\/06\/DAD07BE8-54BE-4423-BFF4-5D3BE6271891_1_105_c-1-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"193\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/humanist.org.uk\/brigidhaines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/661\/2023\/06\/DAD07BE8-54BE-4423-BFF4-5D3BE6271891_1_105_c-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/humanist.org.uk\/brigidhaines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/661\/2023\/06\/DAD07BE8-54BE-4423-BFF4-5D3BE6271891_1_105_c-1.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-102 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/humanist.org.uk\/brigidhaines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/661\/2021\/05\/fcc-accord-digital-badge-768x768-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"196\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/humanist.org.uk\/brigidhaines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/661\/2021\/05\/fcc-accord-digital-badge-768x768-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/humanist.org.uk\/brigidhaines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/661\/2021\/05\/fcc-accord-digital-badge-768x768-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/humanist.org.uk\/brigidhaines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/661\/2021\/05\/fcc-accord-digital-badge-768x768-1.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Brigid and I offer non-religious weddings, naming ceremonies, funerals and memorial ceremonies in Swansea and across South and Mid-Wales, and online.
