Pam Giblin

Registered Civil Marriage Celebrant - Hobart and Southern Tasmania

As your Celebrant, I will listen closely to your ideas and vision and will work with you to ensure that your ceremony will be uniquely yours, and have meaning and significance for you and your family.

For many years my family and I lived in a small community on the Tasman Peninsula. It was a magical time where annual celebrations and other rites of passage were shared with a number of friends and neighbours whom I came to regard as family. It was during this time that I learned to respect the value of ceremony and ritual and the sense of belonging they can evoke. I also learned that these things can empower us throughout our lives.

Those experiences taught me that when we share intimate moments of celebration in our lives, we are not only creating something very special, we are reclaiming and honouring the intrinsic sacredness that nourishes and enriches our whole existence.

As well as writing number of books that focus on the power of myth and symbolism and the importance of ritual, I have also written and presented a nationally syndicated radio program, Wounded Healer, which was broadcast each week for twelve months on the Community Radio Satellite Network, ComRadSat. It looked at various aspects of emotional, spiritual and physical health through the balancing of archetypal behaviour and the use of ritual.

In 2001, when our children went to high school, I moved back to Hobart with my partner of 26 years, Tom, where I continue to write. Becoming a civil celebrant has provided me with an opportunity to draw the many elements of my life together into a cohesive service for others.

I have a strong personal ethic, a sense of commitment and I pursue excellence in all that I do. My broadcasting experience has taught me the value of articulating clearly and my writing has given me the focus to find the most powerful words to best convey the feelings and intent of any ceremony. As your celebrant I will listen closely to your ideas and vision and will work with you to ensure that your ceremony will be uniquely yours, and have meaning and significance for you and your family.
