Though ceremony is still a cornerstone of many cultures around the globe, modern rituals are largely confined to just three events: birth, marriage, and death. Without our ancestors' sense of frequent and intentional ceremony, we have lost the power to bring meaning to our everyday lives. \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Modern Ceremony \u003c\/i\u003eis here to change that. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written by sociologist and ceremonialist Shari Dunbar Boyer, this book shares more than 30 ceremonies that can be easily incorporated into contemporary life. There are rituals for life transitions, calendar changes, and personal growth. Some celebrate familiar events, like the Untraditional Birthday or Vow Renewal ceremonies, but others mark important milestones that we often neglect, such as moving to a new home or entering menopause. And of course, there are seasonal rituals for every solstice, equinox, and moon cycle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Presented in easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Modern Ceremony\u003c\/i\u003e encourages readers to leave behind the daily stressors of life and connect more deeply with themselves, their loved ones, and their own spirituality.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShari Dunbar Boyer is a ceremonialist and trained herbalist.
