during their outdoor evening wedding ceremony
"The day I contacted Sharon Fallon Shreve, I knew she was going to be the one. I had talked to
several other people who were capable of conducting a non-church-oriented wedding, and none
of them resonated anywhere near to the degree she did. Sharon has a peaceful, open, welcoming
energy that is at once very powerful and capable, while also being soft, nurturing
& gentle.
When we visited her, she welcomed us into her home and heart, and shared with us the beautiful
and sacred forest surrounding the house.
All I can say is - wow. If you want an outside wedding,
intimate and sacred and close to Mother nature, yet with the comforts of home right around the
bend Illuminata is the place." - Dawn & Keith
Rachel & Drew receive joyous applause from their wedding guests at
Baltimore's Inner Harbor after Sharon declares they are "partners for life".
"Words cannot describe what a gift your presence was to us throughout our wedding/marriage process.
Your absolute centered-ness, love, positivity, experience, and openness gave us the space to create
and experience the perfect wedding - truly! So many blessings to you, dearest Sharon" - Rachel & Drew
Baptism/Christening/Baby-Naming

Sharon will happily
officiate this most blessed occasion, making it a sacred,
memorable
event
for parents, family, guests and, of course, your precious child.

Rites-of-Passage
Maiden, Mother, Crone … graduations,
passing the Bar, earning a doctorate degree …
starting your own
business, special promotions, milestone birthdays. These are only
a
few examples of the rites-of-passage we move through during a lifetime.
Important times deserve recognition, and so do we! Acknowledging these
times (and ourselves), honoring them through sacred ceremony and celebration,
sends a powerful message of gratitude
to the Universe, thanking it for
its loving support. Feel free to contact Sharon with your own
ideas
or to ask help
in creating a customized rite-of-passage ceremony for
you or a loved one.
Fees vary accordingly.
Transition
Assistance & Memorials
How one copes with
the death of a loved one is a very personal and private matter.
No two
individuals grieve alike. And that's okay.
Arriving at your home, hospital, nursing home
… wherever and whenever Spirit calls …
Sharon offers gentle
transition support
for both you and your loved one.
Aided by beautiful Messengers of Light and angelic music, Sharon utilizes
the gift of her compassionate heart. Through inner guidance, she intuits
the personal needs of your loved one. Lovingly, prayerfully she comforts
their body/mind as their soul journeys toward Home.
Sharon’s training and experience as a Chaplain enables her to aid grieving family
& friends as well.
Memorial Services, as well as ceremonies
honoring the anniversary dates
of transitions,
are also offered through
Sharon’s ministry. Please contact her to discuss the very
personal
needs of your heart and/or family member(s). Fees: Love offering
basis.
Sacred Space Clearing & House Blessings
Anytime
you physically move into new space is
the perfect time to consider having
the area cleared, cleansed, and blessed. Be it a home, office, or personal
workspace,
you can arrange to have Sharon come and energetically clear
and cleanse your space.
Using her gift of clairsentience, along with
a variety of sacred tools, Sharon will work to remove existing negativity
and get stagnant energy moving again. You’ll feel the difference
immediately! After your space has been cleared, cleansed, and blessed,
Sharon will provide tips
on how you
can preserve the sacred energy of
your new space. Fee is
dependent upon location & size of space.
For more information or to schedule an appointment,
please contact her.
Dedication
Ceremonies
Have you been thinking about planting a Peace Pole (www.worldpeace.org/peacepoles.html)
on your property or in your community? Maybe a labyrinth, outdoor
sanctuary, or special garden
is
in the works for you? If so,
once completed, you may wish to consider having Sharon perform
a special dedication
ceremony to help celebrate
and seal the sacred intention of your project.
Fee:
Love Offering basis.

Sacred
Healing & Drumming Circles
The drum is the instrument of the heart. The very first memory we have
of sound is
the heartbeat
of our mother while we were still in her womb.
Studies show that sound
both comforts and heals, and the rhythmic beat
of a drum is transformative. It takes us
deep within the inner realms
to a peaceful, transcendent state… an altered state of
complete presentness and bliss. The best part: no experience needed!
Drumming
and Healing Circles are one of Sharon’s specialties. Her mission
is
to help people feel
safe enough to begin the process of opening and
expanding their hearts. Once opened, the heart begins to express its
true self. Emotions, feelings, joy… often buried deep in woundedness…
begin to make their way to the surface for release and healing begins.
Sharon’s motto is:
" first we feel, then we heal." She is available
by appointment to facilitate any size Circle.
Fee varies according to size of Circle and location. Please
contact Sharon for more information.
Spiritual Empowerment Coaching
Using a combination of sacred and intuitive
techniques, Sharon helps empower individuals by helping them reconnect
with their own inner authority. Sessions can be held either
in person or via phone. Empowerment sessions are 90 minutes. Please call or e-mail to schedule an appointment. Fee: $65.
Couples/Relationship/Mediation Counseling
Safe, loving, non-abusive communication is essential to all relationships
desiring growth. Just as
a garden needs tending if we wish it to produce
fruit, so must we also nurture and care for our relationships. Be it marriage,
partnership, or friendship, all need attention in order to thrive. Sometimes,
however, we are tweaked by the behavior or criticism of another. Old
wounds are triggered. We react and blame, rather than respond by owning
our truth. Using her developed skills, Sharon gently redirects couples,
helping them to “see” where true ownership and responsibility
lay. These 90-minute sessions are held in person. Please call
or e-mail to schedule. Fee: $90.
Intuitive Readings
For those wishing insight into personal issues, Sharon offers intuitive
readings.
These sessions (approx. 45-minute in length) are not meant to predict or forecast
the future, rather they are simply the result of tapping into the energy or auric
field
of the individual, retrieving information, and bringing it back
to share with the client.
Intuitive Readings held in person. Please call or e-mail to
schedule. Fee: $75.
