Back in 2014 I created the event, A Celebration of Life – 2014. In an attempt to honor my soulmate, Geri, on the second anniversary of her transition. My intention was to gather people together that were struggling with grief and to create a healing environment. I had become aware of the native people’s ceremony of creating a Sacred Space through some people with whom I had experienced two very personal healing sessions using Sacred Space. And I was determined to start my event by opening Sacred Space to create a holy space for the gathering. So I contacted Denise Miller to perform this ceremony.
The celebration began with me honoring my soulmate Geri. Then I read a long list of names given to me by others who wished to honor their loved ones no longer on earth. Then I turned the event over to Denise. She did an outstanding job! She opened the gathering so beautifully, everyone felt it! She sang incredible, traditional honour songs for those who had passed, healing songs to help those who were grieving and as well as singing the Strong Woman Song for my soulmate. Her voice is amazing!! It was so moving. During the ceremony the energy at this venue was palpable. I looked around the stage and all the musicians were wearing awestruck looks across their faces. At this point, I stepped back and said “Urban, your job here is done now go enjoy yourself.” All afternoon various individuals that I had never previously encountered approached me with their grief stories… "In my family we don’t grieve… This is the first time I have grieved in 8 years… I found healing today!" The whole idea was to bring healing to the hurting and this was accomplished many times over… People heeded my call and got their friends there, the place was packed… Thank you Denise for opening my event in such a powerful, sacred way and allowing for much healing to occur.
