About Lois Heckman

I have a background in three diverse fields: religious philosophy, music, and social justice. Each of these experiences contributes to my world-view and informs me as a celebrant.

Cause for Celebration / as printed in The Pocono Record

From 1990 to 2006 I worked as an educator and advocate in the battered women/anti-rape movement, teaching, and working for social change. In my younger years, I was a hard working musician, singer and songwriter, performing on stages from New York City to Europe. My formal education, however, was in religious philosophy at Temple University.

My work as an advocate has taught me to be a better listener, and reinforced my core beliefs in peace and justice.

My experience on stage gives me the voice and confidence to perform your ceremony in a meaningful and clear way. Everyone will hear and understand what is being said.

And my long-standing, deep interest in world religions and philosophies, combined with my training as a Celebrant, gives me a broad understanding of the meaning and use of ritual and ceremony.

Becoming a celebrant has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I honor all philosophies, beliefs and traditions - secular, spiritual, religious and interfaith. I will create a wonderful and unique ceremony that respects and reflects your values, your style, and your life.

I live in Saylorsburg, PA, with my husband of 30+ years and our Springer Spaniels, where I lead a spiritual congregation, Freedom Fellowship. We are proud grandparents, avid gardners, and active in social causes in our community.
