Each Celebrant and Wedding Officiant brings their own unique gifts to the table. In creating your ceremony, I draw on my professional experience as a performer, healer, vocalist, and environmental educator, as well as my personal experience as a partner, companion, mother, and Seeker.
I consider myself a bridge between Spiritual Paths. I am deeply rooted in my own faith, trained in rituals of many faiths, and committed to blending traditions in a way that feels authentic and respectful to all.
I have a deep belief in the power of Love, and am called to this work. I am a classically trained singer with over 25 years experience as a performer and public speaker. I am deeply connected to the Earth, and travel the country with my family inspiring students, teachers and families to protect the planet as Co-Director of EarthCapades Environmental Vaudeville.
I am Mama to Kai Isaiah, born in February of 2007, and loving partner to Hearty.

"Lissin was a breath of fresh air for us: a calm, professional, down to earth presence in a busy and sometimes overwhelming time. She was sensitive to our two different religious backgrounds, and helped us navigate the difficult territory of self-made ritual. Though we thought at the beginning of the planning process we might be able to do it ourselves, looking back there was no way we could have planned such a successful ceremony without Lissin's help."
