About Officiant Lisa
Official Training & Credentials
As a non-denominational wedding officiant based in Boulder and serving Colorado and beyond, I believe that there are as many definitions of spirituality as there are people, and that as we encounter life's milestones, we seek facilitators who fit us. I am happy to be one of those facilitators!
Training-wise, I am an ordained Interspiritual Minister, having graduated from the two-year One Spirit Interspiritual Seminary in New York. This year (2024) is my twelfth season of officiating, and I’ve had the honor of facilitating more than 800 couples in their engagement-to-marriage journey. It has been an amazing ride. I love my job.
Spiritual Leadership & Facilitation
I have a fun and eclectic history that has brought me to the role of officiant and minister. Back in my 20’s and early 30’s, I was a performing singer-songwriter for about a decade. I toured the country playing shows, recording CD’s and facilitating workshops on spiritual growth and transformation. I worked with audiences, groups and individuals to help each person move closer to living their most authentic and fulfilling life.
During that time, two of my songs about listening to your inner voice and living your purpose were played in regular rotation on the Discovery Channel and the Disney Channel, which fulfilled a big mission of mine - to support as many folks as possible to know their true selves and contribute something greater to the world.
This sparked my desire to train as a minister and turn the spotlight toward supporting others’ journeys.
On The Personal Side
My own spiritual journey has been colorful. I grew up Roman Catholic, then had my first truly spiritual experience in the mountains in New Hampshire. This opened my world to so much more than experiencing spirituality in a church.
Then I worked in Yosemite National Park as an environmental educator for the Yosemite Institute in my early twenties. I got to hike 6th - 12th graders around the park and teach them about rocks, trees, animals and the interconnectedness of everything. I lived in the park too. What a job!
It’s impossible to experience a place like Yosemite and not feel that there is something larger that connects us all.
Since then, I’ve had the good fortune to have incredible spiritual teachers along the way, from all kinds of traditions ranging from Sufi to Buddhist to earth-based - you name it and I’ve probably explored it.
All of this has deepened and solidified my connection with “something larger”, and this connection is something that I carry with me in every context, no matter what it’s being called.
What I’m Up To Now
In my own life, I’m blessed to spend my free time with my husband Mike, our dog Lemmy and fat cat Kitty Boo, family and friends and being in nature. Over the years, my quality of life has always come back to these things - love, relationships, and my soul connection with the wild outdoors.
Thanks for spending time getting to know me on this page. In turn, I look forward to getting to know you!
Much love, Officiant Lisa
