Becoming an Ordained Minister


          Alexandra Rose became a member of ULC because she knew from a very early age that she wanted to work with others. Even though the method and means to achieve that were as yet uncharted territory during her early learning, her lifelong quest for knowledge and enlightenment has instilled in her a devotion to self-discovery and working with her clients. Initially, she pursued an education in Social Work, however once the world of alternative therapies and non-traditional ministry was opened, her path began to unfold. About a year after intensely studying one of these modalities, she received what in a traditional ministry is referred to as a “calling”, the deep knowing that she was to be a spiritual counselor. Having been raised in a moderately observant Jewish home, this came as a surprise. She had not considered ministry as a part of her path. The desire to bridge these led to a period of searching, both inwardly and via various external resources to discern how to follow this guidance. It was during one of the times, in the Spring of 2004 that she received her ordination through ULC.

Since that time, service to others has continued to evolve and her commitment deepens. She feels truly blessed to have been chosen to serve others through God/Goddess’ word and honors all paths and traditions. One of the key elements of her work is bringing others to the deep recognition we all carry within a spark of divinity, whether you choose to refer to this as soul, higher power, guide, etc. At this point, she is honored to have those who are ready for this work drawn and receptive to the combination of therapeutic modalities, prayer and actively engaging guidance, which encompass her sessions. The healing room in which she works contains many “spiritual” tools; from smudge supplies to angel statues. At any given moment she may stop to utilize these to further a client’s goals or ease their transition to the next level.

Currently, I am impassioned about working with women to reclaim their power and remember their place as torchbearers and nurturers of the spirit. I envision a world in which men and women view each other as spiritual partners, joined in service to the healing of our world so that all live in freedom and peace, grounded in knowing our true selves. We move forward with the certainty that no problem is insurmountable when we each add our unique talents with a sincere to serve. My dedication to all who work with me, and fully engage, is to provide experiences where they see the light within more brightly and know themselves more fully than ever before.

May your days be filled with joy, your nights be peaceful and all of your life be an experience of love always!

Blessings always,
Rev. Alexandra Rose
