As Mark Inscoe @civilcelebrantsussex, I am delighted to be asked by the AOIC to present a Workshop as part of their annual conference 2025. This will be held on Saturday, September 27th, at The Village Hotel, Beeston, Nottingham.
‘First Impressions – a workshop in body language’
In your role as celebrant, you need to give your clients confidence in your ability by presenting a calming and confident presence. Body language is a natural and often subconscious energy which we all display. It is said that around 70-90% of communication is unspoken, but rather how we physically interact and read one another. Couples and Funeral celebrant Mark Inscoe has an understanding of the importance of body language, in his long career as a professional actor. Through this interactive workshop, improve your awareness of how we read one another when meeting new clients.
This workshop will be included alongside the wonderful Justine Coombs @justinecelebrantuk, Tina Naldrett & Simon Savage, Kirstie Atherton and Obitus & Westerleigh.
The highlight of the Saturday evening’s Gala Dinner will be the Annual Celebrant Awards Ceremony 2025, and I am delighted to have been nominated in the Best Funeral Celebrant category.
