My name is Juanna Grace Ladaga and I am from Ireland, now living in northeast Scotland, having left the big smoke othe city for the forests, hills and the sea. Having lived further afield for most of my life, it is so wonderful to be connected to my Celtic roots again.

With a background in fine art, education and music I weave together many strands to to create personal and meaningful ceremonies. I was ordained as a One Spirit Interfaith minister in 2016.

​

As an Interfaith Minister I get to celebrate life in so many ways and this is just the most gorgeous thing. Sometimes I supporting people to understand what they hope for and sometimes Im supporting people to bring into words what they are thankful for. I don't encourage people to hold back, in fact, if someone really is up for a deep dive then I'm ready to join them. 

​

I sing with the local Threshold Choir, singing gentle harmonies to those at the threshold of death, and I also sing with my partner in his regular popup group songs of joy, beauty and connection -  both nourish me so much!

 

Recently I qualified as a Quietude practitioner, accompanying those on the journey to end of life and death. As well as leading funerals, often in the local green burial ground, I work with families and individuals to support them as they navigate their journey with death and dying. This is tender and deep work and has the gorgeous gift of  leading me deeper into life.
