Embrace the power of ritual with simple yet "powerful" (Kim
Chestney, author of Radical Intuition and founder of IntuitionLab)
practices that slow us down to honor and mark the real moments in
our lives--from the loss of a parent to the birth of a child, from
grieving a pet to celebrating coming out of the closet. Life has
many transitions: A baby is born. A child leaves for college. A
marriage. A divorce. A death. We all experience moments of profound
change, but what do we do to mark those moments? How do we become
mindful of these events and imbue them with purpose and meaning?
Could our lives be better, richer, and more resilient if we had
more practical resources and rituals to honor, sanctify, and make
sense of these transitions? Day Schildkret, artist and author
behind the international Morning Altars movement, believes that
what we need is ritual. Rituals are the rhythms and traditions that
give us a sense of stability in the face of uncertainty by
reminding us that there's always something we can do, say or make
that conjures awe, contentment, and gratitude. They give us a way
to acknowledge through our actions that, as life changes, we too
must change. Offering ways to make these moments special and
sacred, Hello, Goodbye teaches you to not fear uncertainty, but
instead participate fully and creatively in life's inevitable
changes, including: -Birth of a child -Moving and new homes
-Divorce -Empty nesting -Retirement -Death anniversary -Health
crises Containing over 75 hands-on ritual instructions, informed by
hundreds of interviews, and filled with beautiful illustrations,
inspirational story-telling, potent questions, and experienced
wisdom, Hello, Goodbye is "certain to become a forever reference
and treasured, faithful companion" (Kimbery Ann Johnson, author of
Call of the Wild and The Fourth Trimester) for life's many
milestones, perfect for those looking to find meaning in change and
embrace the transformative thresholds of our lives. Hello, Goodbye
is a "direct and moving" (Rabbi Jill Jammer, PhD, author of The
Jewish Book of Days: A Companion for All Seasons) guide we all need
to navigate life's uncertainties with grace, meaning, and
intention, perfect for fans of Krista Tippet, Priya Parker, and
Elena Brower.
From beloved yogi, teacher, and artist Elena Brower comes the
writer's debut collection of poetry: a lyrical exploration of
grief, self-compassion, and learning from the past to navigate
life's challenges with grace. Softening Time is both autobiography
and self-help, poetry and inspiration. Drawing on events in her own
life, particularly her experiences as a mother, daughter, sister,
and friend, Brower writes poignantly on themes of love, loss,
healing, and rebirth. Punctuating her work with themed quotations
from a wide variety of celebrated writers and thinkers, Brower
guides the reader along an intimate journey of both deepening and
"softening" self-awareness.
When the way forward seems uncertain, where can we turn for
guidance we can trust? For yoga luminary, meditation teacher, and
artist Elena Brower, the answer has always been close at hand.
"Whenever I've needed direction, strength, or centering, I've so
often turned to my own journals. Why? Because many of the answers
we seek are found within ourselves." Now, for those compelled to
the pen and page, Elena invites us to gather our own wisdom through
writing, self-inquiry, and reflection. Practice You is a portable
sacred sanctuary to record our flashes of insight, find our ground,
create and clarify our goals, and bear witness to our own
evolution. With more than 150 beautiful pages of questions,
teachings, inspiring imagery, and plenty of space to write, draw,
and reflect, this journaling adventure guides us into nine
compelling portals to our highest ways of living.
