Hi, I am Alphia Prpic, please call me Fia. I am a certified Humanist Celebrant and I love love, celebrations of life and love, and ceremony.

​

As a wedding officiant (I prefer wedding celebrant), I help couples create unforgettable and meaningful wedding ceremonies.

​

Since 2017, I have been creating and presenting wedding ceremonies. In 2022, after few decades as a writer, non-religious spiritual seeker, and creative director in non-profit communications and marketing, I have gathered my life's experiences and studies to offer services as a celebrant full-time for:
 

• weddings,

• celebration-of-life (memorial) services, and

• birth/adoption welcoming ceremony services

​

My studies and certifications include:

​

• Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing, Hamline University, St. Paul (2009)

• Bachelor of Arts degree in English, St. Catherine's University, St. Paul, MN (1997)

  • Minor of Native American Studies, Augsburg University, Minneapolis, MN (1997)

• Master Celebrant, intensive certification program, Celebrant Academy (2021)

• Spiritual Direction certification (non-religious), Wisdom Ways, Center for Spirituality

• Daring Greatly, Dr. Brene Brown Courage to be Vulnerable training and on-going program (2020-2021)

• Holistic Health and Health Studies, Anoka-Ramsey Community College, Coon Rapids, MN (2016-2020)

• Humanist Celebrant endorsement and on-going mentorship, Humanist Society and American Humanist Association (2016)

• Woman Within International, Women's Empowerment certification (1994-2000)​

 

I bring to all of my officiating offerings, my experience and cultivation of life and love as a mother with four (!) adult children, a grandmother (YaYa) with seven (!) grandbabes and as a partner with Shawn for 37 (!) years.

​

I sincerely hope you will consider collaborating with me to create your one-of-a-kind ceremony.

​

May the trail rise up to meet you, Fia
