Ordained Interfaith Minister (2007)

Rev. Julie P

Hello, I’m Julie.Since 2007, I have served the Shropshire community as an Ordained Interfaith (multi-faith) Minister.I provide a grounded and compassionate presence for those navigating life’s most significant thresholds, from the arrival of a child to the joining of hands, or the final goodbye.

My ministry

My ministry offers an inclusive sanctuary of deep listening and respect, ensuring that every individual feels held and honoured, regardless of their personal faith or background.

A Quiet Anchor in the Shropshire Hills

I believe that every life
transition and threshold
is a sacred story waiting to be told.For nearly twenty years, my ministry has held a sacred space of spiritual sanctuary and deep listening.Here, we celebrate the quiet miracles of everyday life and find grounding in the beauty of our shared journey together.

Early days flanked by misty mountains

Growing up under the shadows of the majestic Brecon Beacons pre-internet, I have always found the Divine in the natural world.Since 2007, I have served the community tucked in the South Shropshire hills. Though the smaller hills are “quieter” than the majestic “roar” of the Welsh mountains, they are equally rich in atmosphere.Many of our group ceremonies take place outdoors in nature, where the land itself acts as a cathedral for our shared stories.

All faiths

Whatever your spiritual beliefs, faith, or chosen path,I am so glad that you are here!

Bespoke Ceremonies with Heart and Intention

Two Paths,
One Journey

I facilitate bespoke wedding ceremonies, sacred unions, vow renewals and blessings that honour your joint spiritual path. Guiding your ceremony so that every word, gesture, and moment reflects the journey you’ve walked together.Each sacred union is intentionally crafted, blending reverence, celebration, and the beauty of your love story.

Marking life’s turning points with Grace and Intention

Thresholds

Life is full of sacred thresholds, moments when one chapter closes and another begins.I facilitate ceremonies and blessings for milestones such as house dedications, new ventures, personal transformations, and significant birthdays.Each gathering is mindfully designed to honour the transition, providing a prayerful, grounded presence that supports you and your loved ones with meaning and grace.

Little Wonders

Baby Blessings & Naming

Welcoming a new soul to the world with Grace and Joy.Celebrating Life’s Sacred Beginnings
Naming ceremonies and baby blessings are a wonderful way to celebrate the gift of life and their journey ahead.Through gentle ceremony, reflection, and heartfelt celebration, these moments become treasured memories for all who gather.A sacred beginning for family, community, and the path yet to be walked.

Soul Midwifery

Sacred Transitions

Honouring Life’s Deepest ThresholdsI facilitate ceremonies and supportive guidance that honour the dignity of change and the final goodbye.From elder honours to prayerful
end-of-life memorials, I provide comfort, reverence, and a steady presence during life’s most significant and final thresholds.

Spiritual Midwifery

Spiritual Counselling

Guiding the Birth of New Perspectives.As a Spiritual Midwife, I facilitate a soulful, faith-filled process for those navigating deep internal shifts, helping you honour the wisdom of your own experience through one-to-one guidance.

Personal moments

Bespoke Ceremonies

Every life is a unique story that
deserves to be told with dignity.I specialise in crafting ceremonies tailored to your specific values and spiritual beliefs, ensuring that your celebration is a true reflection of the journey you have walked.Whether traditional or contemporary, we work together to create a service of depth and personal meaning.

Gathering Together

Sacred Ceremony

I have long believed that the simple act of gathering together in our moments of celebration, honour and even grief, brings us a deep inner strength and the reassurance that we are not alone.To be held in both a collective togetherness and Divine Presence can be very comforting and deeply moving in times of change or celebration. Even guests who might not have a faith or spiritual belief at all, often comment on the deeply rich and peaceful atmosphere at our ceremonies.Whether you are marking a birth, a marriage, or a quiet moment of goodbye, my goal is to help you find the Grace, peace, joy and celebration that is already present in your and your loved ones' life stories.

Whether we meet in the shadow of the Stiperstones, a quiet village hall, or your own garden, I am here to facilitate a space with care, professionalism, and deep respect for yours or your loved one’s unique journey.I look forward to hearing from you,

🌿 A 2026 Spring Update from my Shropshire GardenTo my dear friends and kindred souls.Life is a series of sacred thresholds, and sometimes the land itself calls for a season of quiet and transition that we did not seek.Due to very unexpected and unforeseen changes regarding my current tenure in the Shropshire Hills, I must sadly announce that our 2026 Spring Prayer Walks and our Garden Tea & Prayers are currently cancelled.As you know, my home and beloved garden were intended to be my sanctuary for life, and while the loss of this space brings a season of personal mourning, I am standing in deep faith that the 'Divine Architect' is preparing a new space for our stories to unfold.Thank you for your 11 years of shared stewardship, your love for the David Austin roses, the friendly trees, and your prayers.I will update you as soon as the 'New Ground' is ready beneath our feet.I do hope to find somewhere soon.With Blessings and Grace,Julie
