I am Kristine Bentz, an attuned ceremony specialist.
I offer clear dialogue and guidance, so you feel solid about your celebration. You will feel calm confidence from our first meeting through the ceremony experience itself. During your ceremony, I strive for you to experience a delicious sense of ease and peace. I aspire for us to step out of time - to drink in connection and expansiveness that uplifts everyone present.
I am presently certified as a Life Cycle Celebrant, by the Celebrant Foundation and Institute. I hold double certification: Funerals and Ceremonies for Healing, plus Weddings and Other Ceremonies for Couples. I am ordained to legally officiate marriages by the Universal Life Church. In addition, I hold a M.S. in Public Service Management from DePaul University, with an emphasis in servant leadership.
Since childhood, I have naturally woven ceremonies together. I've experienced how life continuously presents milestones full of joys and sorrows. To nourish our own wellness, we need to pause and acknowledge these points in time. The expressive spaces found in well-crafted ceremonies offer that meaningful pause. I founded Sweetgrass to serve as a gentle guide, weaving ceremonies that celebrate life's milestones.
