Introduction: Mama Donna Henes is an internationally renowned urban shaman, wedding officiant and spiritual teacher/counselor. An award-winning author, she has published four books and writes for The Huffington Post. Her joyful celebrations of celestial events have introduced ancient traditional rituals and contemporary ceremonies to the people of New York City--and the world--since 1972, earning her both a Mayoral citation and the title of "unofficial commissioner of the public spirit of New York.” from The New Yorker.
As a wedding officiant, her extensive knowledge of multicultural ritual and celebration insures that the wedding ceremonies she designs can speak to all belief systems and cultural practices, including: Hand Fasting, Broom Jumping, Candle Lighting, and Tree Planting. Ring, Crown, or Flower Exchanges are possible.
