Celebrant Michele on CBC – Oct 25th

October 17th, 2009

Heads Up!

CBC Radio will be airing a documentary about one of my recent ceremonies.  The piece is called:  Donna’s June Divorce.   The specific program is called Tapestry… with the piece scheduled to air Sunday, October 25th at 3 pm.

It includes highly regarded CBC reporter Pamela Post’s interview with me about my pioneering of Marriage Dissolution (aka Divorce) Ceremonies here in BC.  And a more extended interview with Donna, the brave woman for whom I wrote this beautiful and incredibly moving ceremony.

Hers is a story of sadness yes, but mostly it is one of inspiration.  The ceremony I created for Donna focuses her stepping forward into the next chapter of her life with hope and intention, while acknowledging the pain of the divorce as well as the good of her marriage.

You’ll hear how transformative the event was for Donna, and also for the friends who attended (most of whom were somewhat dubious to begin with!)

The ceremony was taped when it was performed and will be aired along with the interviews — so you can hear for yourself the many touching, funny, and poignant moments (and hear me in action if you haven’t had that opportunity!)

The producer believes people across Canada will be moved.  After all, who among us don’t know anyone touched by divorce?  Indeed many of you have had a personal experience.

And so, I do hope you will listen as it airs… or you can log on to CBC Tapestry’s website afterwards to listen to the program at your convenience.  Here are the specs:

* Tapestry: Sunday OCTOBER 25th @ 3 pm –  88.1 FM and 690 AM

* If you miss the program when it airs, you can listen via the archive of past shows which can be found at:  http://www.cbc.ca/tapestry/archives.html

May I ask that you pass this on to friends and family who may be interested?

It’s my hope that this program reaches out and inspires the thousands of Canadians struggling to find meaning and hope in the face of divorce.

Warm regards,
Michele
