Do you celebrate the joys, grieve the losses, and embrace the changes inherent in life’s natural cycles and seasons? In today’s fast-paced world, our souls are begging us to slow down—we must heed that call!

By blending her personal experiences, information about multicultural celebrations, and practical how-to steps, Elizabeth Barbour shares uniquely accessible advice for designing rituals. You’ll enjoy new elements to invigorate birthday gatherings and holidays and additionally be inspired by:

A beautiful grief ritual featuring white roses
An infant’s spiritual dedication in a labyrinth
A young girl’s playful and educational first moon party
An artist’s creative and meaningful “starting a new business” ritual
A divorce ritual punctuated by beating the furniture with a tennis racket
Sacred Celebrations is a resource you’ll come back to again and again to help you navigate emotional endings and beginnings with more presence, clarity and confidence.
