My Values
at Fire & Fern

Lynda Gibson

I am a creator of ceremonies and believer in the power and place of ritual.

I am trained as a Heart-led Celebrant and live by the sea in the North Coast of Ireland with my husband David and our two children.

I love poetry and good stories, hiking and sea swimming, celebrating and gift giving and, most importantly, being with my people.

I believe a beautiful mystery exists all around for us to take notice of and participate in, whatever language we use to name it.

I believe our everyday lives are already infused with wonder and meaning and that our homes and family lives are sacred.

I believe each life and individual journey is worthy of honour, recognition and celebration.

I believe in living by and honouring the seasons, that each story unfolds in its own way and time, in the ‘grandeur of ordinariness’ and that we most often carry within us what we already need.

I believe ceremony and ritual belongs to all of us and has the power to bless each of us.

Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
