A happy & harmonious world

We exist to connect humanity even more deeply with themselves, each other and the natural world.
We do this by spreading infectious joy, peace and love through arts, live experiences and spiritual care.
We welcome everyone.
Especially twats :)
-
Oneness - we believe that at the core of humanity is light. No matter our differences, we are unified by being made of light.
Playfulness - we believe in the sacred and the silly; a good and open sense of humour can save lives.
Social Transformation - we believe that no matter the state of the world, society is always moving towards a positive future. We are active participants in this work.
Radical Optimism - our belief in the human spirit, at large, is unshakable. We hold the belief that even the most closed hearts can be opened.
Love - we believe that love is a spectrum. Love is easy when we are in agreement but at Chapel of Love, we additionally encourage each other to lean into love particularly when we disagree.
Self-compassion - we believe that self-compassion is the gateway to deeper self love which naturally extends to those around us.
***these values are not fixed and may evolve as our community & partners expand.

The Experience
At the heart of Chapel of Love is a belief that in loving ourselves deeper, we are inspired to care for others and the natural world even more.
Our signature experience is a 60-90 minutes bespoke ceremony of singing, poetry, impromptu wedding speeches; circus, a bit of dancing and everyone says, “I do!”
The Chapel of Love ceremony is a group self wedding ceremony that has been enjoyed by both festival and corporate communities.
It is beautiful, emotional, full of depth and the right amount of silly. There is no greater way to gift your community than with an experience that reminds us of self love and connection.
Chapel of Love Signature
To celebrate the UK’s leading independent festival, Shambala’s 25th Anniversary, we re-named our signature experience and worked with the team to create something truly magical.
Thousands of people showed up on Friday 22nd August 2025 in field, to get married to themselves.
“After 25 years of being silly in a field together, it’s time we made it official, took our relationship to the next level and made honest peeps out of you all. That’s right. We’re ALL getting married. At once. To ourselves!”
Our Big Phat Green Wedding
We launched an “adult version” of our experience at Wilderness Festival. Chapel of Love and Mischief, is a high-octane sunday service of live confessions, sing-alongs and wild cabaret. After a weekend of mischief, festival-goers came to share their confessions. This version of our ceremonies aims to alleviate social shame and guilt through the power of theatre, group participation and comedy.
The naughtier you’ve been, the more likely you are to get into “the pearly gates of heaven” !

Magical Moments
We co-curate magical moments with leading festivals, conferences and brands to open hearts and minds.
Our magical moments are designed to equalise and harmonise humanity through powerful conversations; large-scale participatory moments or mass rituals that amplify connection, belonging and that awareness of “something more”.

We felt seen and held and left feeling part of a new community where each individual is a valued part of a whole, whilst staying wholly themself. What a beautiful gift Samantha brings to the world.

Chapel of Love is nothing short of alchemical. In a world desperate for connection, this experience offers a portal back to self-love. I witnessed defenses soften, laughter emerge, and tears of recognition. Marrying oneself is no gimmick, it’s a declaration of wholeness, a celebration of the sacred within. It was an honor to experience and share in this. I trust that the ripple effect will be enormous.

This gift of marrying people to themselves is what we all need right now: a reminder to reconnect to our inner knowing, our higher consciousness, and therefore, our highest ability to contribute to the world in this lifetime. I am excited for Samantha to bring this experience to many millions of people around the world. I hope you get to experience it too! Please come to Boulder, Colorado.

One of Life’s great challenges and opportunities is that of being able to love oneself. Or we all know that being able to love oneself is the first step towards being able to truly love others. In so many cases this is a supercharge. What Sam does with her chapel of love is truly a gift for one and all.
