Officiants & Emissaries
In Jedi Realism, a Jedi Emissary can be thought of as a specialized branch of Jedi Consulars. We act as ambassadors and spiritual leaders who are called upon to perform ceremonies, rituals, and spiritual services within the Force. Emissaries focus on fostering peace and understanding while serving our communities through meaningful spiritual practices.
Peter Schow
Founder | Officiant | Jedi Knight
Peter has been a student of Jediism since 2006. He has explored and continues to advance his training through various online groups, including the Temple of the Jedi Order, Temple of the Force, Church of Jediism, Jedi Praxeum, and others.
As a US Army Veteran, Peter had seen what war can do to a community in areas like Bosnia, Kosovo, and Iraq. The profound affect these tours of duty had on him led Peter to pursue new avenues of peace and justice, inspiring a goal to present another way of thinking, with open-mindedness and respect for everyone.
Peter has been ordained through the Universal Life Church Ministries as an Emissary of the Force, and a Minister by the Order of Jediism on December 25th 2021. Peter studied Philosophy at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Adelinda Aura
Officiant | Jedi Initiate
Born and raised among the rolling plains of Indiana, Jedi Padawan Adelinda Aura (Tabitha) now resides among the Rocky Mountains of Utah with her loving husband.
While treading a path filled with many obstacles and hardships, Tabitha sought ways to help herself by following her passion – helping others – which led to serving nine years as a trained healthcare professional, as well as a lifelong devotion to studying the self-realized and self-actualized precepts of peace. Having studied various Christian sects, as well as Wiccan, Paganism, and Astrology, Adelinda has further found peace in the Force while learning about Jediism.
As a student of the "Green" aspects of Jediism and the Force, Adelinda Aura studies with the Je'Daii Order of Dai Bendu, the International Jedi Federation, and Jedi Praxeum; and is now ordained through the Universal Life Church Ministries to help couples unite in the Force.
