Interfaith is not a religion. It is about peacefully walking amongst religions, building bridges, honouring people of all faiths and none. I value the jewels gathered from studying different faith paths but I remain a free spirit, working for the highest good, transcending labels, borders and boundaries. Spirituality is everyone’s natural connection with the wonder and energy of life (by whatever name); and the instinct to explore that experience and its meaning. Spirituality affirms that life’s journey is about the growth of compassion, connection and consciousness.

I am a ‘Reverend’ because I am an ordained OneSpirit Minister who has a reverence for all beings, rejoicing in the awe and wonder of Mother Earth and our inter-connectedness. It does not elevate me in status. As a gay woman, I am particularly passionate about equality & diversity within unity, Divine Love.

As an Interfaith Minister, I work with an open heart & mind with everyone, regardless of their beliefs and practices, and offer them a mirror to their own wholeness and their own divinity. I believe, as beings of consciousness, we are on a journey to experience the depths of our being and grow an awareness, and I offer spiritual accompaniment/counselling, and reiki, in my healing room which lies in the foothills of Bredon Hill near Tewkesbury, overlooking the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire.

As a celebrant, TV presenter and journalist, I am able to lovingly hold sacred space and through deep listening, reflect your heartfelt wishes, and work alongside you to create and deliver beautiful bespoke ceremonies (baby blessings, naming ceremonies, rites of passage events, civil partnerships and wedding blessings, funerals and celebrations of life). I also mark the moon phases and changing seasons through ritual within women’s circles, honouring the Divine Feminine, seeking balance within ourselves and unity consciousness.

My TV career spans more than 30 years, firstly as a TV news presenter and reporter, and then running my own video production company. As a journalist, I have witnessed the resilience and radiance of the human spirit, battling adversity through life’s many twists and turns. My own journey has posed many challenges, but spending time in nature helped me to heal, I opened up to Spirit, trained as a Reiki Master & became an ordained OneSpirit Interfaith Minister in 2021.

I am passionate about creating positive video content and have a ‘Rev Helen James’ YouTube Channel to celebrate Mother Earth, and provide information for those who are awakening and bravely trying to delve deep within to heal from layers of trauma, and come home to themselves.

My Ordination Vow: “With humility, I hold the sword of light and truth aloft, cherishing all beings with a peaceful, loving heart.”
