introducing the Amybeltaine.info web site...

I am ready to begin the ministry for which I have trained and prepared. I offer:
 -A compassionate personal presence, holding each person in loving regard, and calling forth your deepest and most authentic self. Whether in pastoral care after the death of a loved one, or in spiritual direction as you explore your relationship with what you hold holy, I create a safe sacred space that invites your healing and growth.
 -Ceremonies, rituals, and worship experiences which celebrate and integrate our life milestones, and connect us into one human community of beloved souls. Weddings, memorial services, Sunday morning worship services, celebrations of other life milestones and of holy days are all occasions to affirm life and love and renew ourselves for the work we must do. I create a sacred space that invites reverence, healing, and inspiration.
 -Learning experiences which deepen our relationship with the divine and the holy, our relationships with our selves, and our relationships with one another. Drawing on the wisdom of world religions, insights from psychology and myth and story, the awesome power of nature, and the creativity within every human being, I create a sacred space that invites exploration, vulnerability, creativity, and growth.
 -Coaching and companioning for those who wish to develop their ministries. Whether your ministry is governmental leadership, caring for young people, or rising up for a just world, I create a sacred space that invites your experimentation, growth, application of your skills, and development of new skills. I have done my work when I see a board president facilitate a meeting that used to scare her, or when I see a parent express patience and hope with a teenager who was spiraling out of control.
 -A grounding in the theologies, values, aspirations, hope, and love which inform and inspire us to create a just and compassionate world.
