VICTORYA GOODRICH

Reverend Victorya Goodrich is an ordained, non-denominational minister based in Gold Canyon and serving Arizona and its sorrounding states.

Rev. Goodrich first embraced the love of God in the form of Jesus at age seven, and was baptised into the Church of England at age twelve. Since she can remember, she has been open to all denominations and throughout her life, has worshiped with Christians, Catholics, Messianic Jews, Unitarian Universalists, and Pagans.

So drawn was she to ministry that she spent her 33rd year attending college and actively self-studying to be an evangelist. Eventually frustrated with views of God that didn't fully express her concept of the Divine, Victorya left organized religion and began exploring alternative traditions including Wicca, Paganism, Shamanism, and a variety of other earth-based and metaphysical paths. She was originally ordained by the Church of the Seven Planes and again by the ULC several years later. She has a love for energetic work, and frequently assists others to remember their ideal vision - and reconnect with their higher selves.

She and Reverend Krawarik first met several years ago through their fundraising and community support efforts for Superstition Search and Rescue. Initially serving as a stand-in for emergencies, Reverend Goodrich eventually chose to become an Associate Minister and began performing ceremonies regularly in early 2006.

Victorya believes deeply that there are as many relationships with the Divine Source as there are people in the world - and understands that ceremonies and rites of passage can only have meaning when they are an open expression of the participants' own beliefs. She brings unparalleled exuberance and delight to every ceremony she performs and creates an exceptional atmosphere of warmth and joy for each celebration.
