Living Ritual

Weave sacred moments into daily life

In this beautiful guide, beloved spiritual teacher Tracee Stanley invites us to inhabit our lives more fully through the power of ritual. Rituals not only mark major life transitions, they also help us find grounding in our everyday lives. Created specifically for householders―people whose responsibilities mean they can’t devote hours to spiritual practice―this book helps us discover and create rituals, including short micro-rituals, that can carry us through our days with meaning and purpose.

“Ritual is about the truth that life isn’t perfect,” explains Stanley. “Honoring ourselves in every season and sitting at the altar of life through every cycle of birth, death, and rebirth is important.” Inspired by Hindu philosophy of the four aims of life, Living Ritual is divided into four parts: Rituals of Support, Relationships, Purpose, and Spirit. With each section, Stanley creates a bridge between the mundane and the sacred, allowing our daily actions to be filled with presence and intention.
