Sacred Celebrations
Designing Rituals to Navigate Life’s Milestone Transitions
by Elizabeth Barbour
Rituals help you to stay present in the midst of big changes.
We will all face challenges, be confronted by grief and at some point feel overwhelmed by life. It is precisely in these moments that we can learn, grow and evolve into our fuller selves. But only if we intentionally move through them with our whole being and in intentional community.
Sacred Celebrations explains why rituals are essential for our individual and collective health and well-being and offers useful knowledge for creating your own meaningful and healing rituals.
With empathy and experience from a life filled with celebrated milestones, Elizabeth Barbour has succinctly outlined how to incorporate ritual into your life as you celebrate, honor and commemorate the monumental and the downright mundane.
