The United Celebrant Network acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work, live, play, and learn. We come from diverse backgrounds and are grateful to call this beautiful country, Australia, our home. We honour and respect the deep, intrinsic connections that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to this land, and we appreciate the wisdom and culture they have nurtured over countless generations. We feel honoured to hear, and participate in any Aboriginal culture customs, traditions, stories and language asking any of our members who are willing or wanting to share this heritage to please reach out.

The Uniting Celebrant Discussion Forum
Welcome to the heart of The United Celebrant Network – our exclusive Members Only Forum!
This private space is designed for you to ask questions, share insights, and engage in meaningful discussions with fellow celebrants. To maintain a safe and supportive environment, it's essential that we all adhere to a few core principles.
Our Values:
-
Privacy is Paramount: What’s shared in this forum stays in this forum. Any external sharing will result in immediate removal from the network and a permanent ban.
-
Inclusivity and Respect: This is an inclusive space where every member can freely express their opinions, ask questions, and get involved without fear of judgment. This does not mean freely express negative or derogative comments, it means speak respectively to and about others in a professional manner.
-
Supportive Environment: Our aim is to support and educate each other. Before posting, commenting, or responding, please consider how your words might be received. Sometimes a comment may not be intended to offend but can come across differently.
Guidelines:
-
No Slander or Discrimination: We have a zero-tolerance policy towards slander, discrimination, and unethical practices.
-
Be Thoughtful and Kind: Remember, a little kindness goes a long way. If something is unclear or seems harsh, give the benefit of the doubt and seek clarification. A friendly reminder of correct use of language is a good example – as we grow in an every changing society with all walks of life within it, please remember we may not intend to use old terminology or may not be familiar with new terminology, use your interactions as an opportunity to educate, and share.
-
This is a safe space: If you feel, a member feels or you see any prospects of feeling unsafe this is to be brought to the immediate attention of The United Celebrant Network Committee. Please take the time to inform a member as soon as possible so the problem can be managed.
By keeping these values at the forefront, we can ensure our forum remains a safe, respectful, and enriching space for all members. Let’s come together to support, learn, and grow with each other.
Happy posting!
