About Reverend Kris Miller
 
Spiritual Training, Ordination and Practice: I was ordained at the Sanctuary of the Beloved on February 16, 2003. I chose to become a priest in conjunction with my healing practice. I began officiating weddings in 2004 and found I love the creativity and spirituality of uniting people in love. My spiritual beliefs are inclusive and not restricted to any particular religion. I am the spiritual leader of the Sacred Space Spiritual Group, a free, unincorporated multi-denominational church. We meet monthly. If you would like to attend one of our spiritual sessions, drop me a line and I'll send you some info.
 
 
Attire: I traditionally wear a black dress, suit or pantsuit when I officiate. Black is formal and eliminates any concern of clashing with the bridal party color scheme. If you see me wearing different garb, it was at the request of the couple. I can modify my attire to suit your preferences, needs and wedding theme. As an option, I also offer a white minister alb, a white, blue or purple interfaith minister stole hand batiked from Bali,  an antique fucshia silk damask stole from Belgium, and a black monk-like robe.   For more casual weddings, we can discuss my attire.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Volunteer work
 
I provide service to my community by volunteering in in several capacities. For several years, I volunteered for The Children's Organ Transplant Association as the Campaign Coordinator and Trustee for the Jenna Stothard Campaign. Jenna was the 22 year old daughter of my long time friend and college roommate. She was the recipient of a small intestine and kidney transplant in 2005. We raised money for transplant related expenses, as well as educated the community about organ donor awareness. Jenna donated her tissues after her passing helping over 200 people.  To read about Jenna just google her name. Please consider making a financial or organ donation to those in need.

As a former meeting facilitator for the faith based community public policy group of the Judicial Process Commission, I helped the committee stay on track as they worked to ensure ex-offenders receive case management, pre and post release. In 2006, this organization named me Volunteer of the Year.

For many years I was the president of a local group that sponsored metaphysical and healing  events and lectures.

I am currently on sabbatical from a volunteer healer position with the Distant Healing Network This international organizations offers free distant healing for all who request. All they ask is that you do a random act of kindness as payment in full. Feel free to visit the site and request healing.
 
I assist persons in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction to develop a connection with a Higher Power of their own understanding.
 
In 2010,  I was a volunteer instructor for the East House RIT Enrichment Program and a presenter at the New York Association of Community and Continuing Education Conference in Albany.

Reiki  and Energy Healing: (pronounced Ray-Key) is a method of natural healing based on the application of Universal Life Force Energy (the name literally means Universal Life Force Energy). The healer, through training and attunements, has opened their channel to this energy (Ki or Chi). The Divine Energy flows through the healer’s body and out their hands into the person seeking healing. I am a Reiki Master and am available for teaching, attunements and healing.  
 
Chakra balancing: Our body contains many energy centers, known as Chakras (Sanskrit meaning 'spinning wheel of energy') that help us to process the universal energies that are around and within us. The seven major chakras directly correspond to our organs. They are located in a column from the base of our spine to the crown of the head and are the colors of the rainbow. When the chakras and open and aligned, our vital life-force (also known as Ki or Chi) flows freely through.   Balanced chakras are instrumental in our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
 
Premarital Guidance: I encourage couples to discuss key issues before entering into a marriage comittment. Please visit the Relationship Topics page of my website. If you need assistance on any topics, I am happy to facilitate such discussions if my calendar permits.
