Lights of Passage: Rituals and Rites of Passage for the Problems and Pleasures of Modern Life

Constant change goes hand in hand with modern living. We no longer spend our lives in one job, one relationship, or the place we grew up, and the cultural markers that used to guide us through different stages have lost their meaning in today's society. Without rituals for marking these passages, we become controlled by the changes in our lives instead of using them as new opportunities for growth.
Lights of Passage is a hopeful, enriching, and practical guide to reinventing rituals and ceremonies and using them to gracefully navigate through transitions, both large and small. It offers simple yet profound ways to use change to reposition ourselves in the world and to let go of old patterns to discover new and healthier ones.
